Another writer for the Detroit News, Nolan Finley, from the conservative side, wrote a column about the Detroit Economic Summit, the People’s Summit and his view of what is going on in this country economically. "In Ren Cen, CEOs tilt at windmills" 6-18,2009.
He kind of echoed my sentiments about the protestors; I called them old communists and he called them “habitual protesters”.
I said these protestors chant the same old slogans without any plans at achieving their goals. He agreed with me but he actually went there in person and asked the protestors what they wanted. They answered national health, more welfare money, end to free trade, punish the corporations, re-educate CEOs and slash their pay, nationalize industry and take from the rich and give to the poor; these people just want, want and want for someone else to just give, give and give.
Nolan Finley though, believes that the wishes of the protesters are actually being listened to and realized by our government. I guess he feels that we are witnessing a shift to socialism / communism; just what the protesters are screaming for.
Well I don’t think there were enough protesters to even make a statement the media would take seriously but if he wants to deny business did not have a hand in fucking up our economy, he is dead wrong.
I wanted capitalism to work like it is suppose to work with bad businesses going broke and good businesses doing well. That was too much for our government to allow and thus the intrusion of our government (BUSH & OBAMA) into areas they should normally stay out of.
If I was to blame anybody for our economic dilemma, it would be the idiots in Washington that allowed regulations to slip, setting free, speculators and plain greedy crooks to ruin our economy. Now that our government is trying to right the wrongs of the past, Finley is complaining the government is interfering too much – you can’t have it both ways.
Finley complains that business and business people do not matter anymore going forward; it’s all government. I believe Obama when he says he will get out as soon as possible but in the meantime, businesses and business people need to get their asses kicked but good and rules have to be in place to regulate businesses because obviously, they cannot be trusted, ever again, to do the right thing - I don’t see a problem here.
The “habitual” protesters will always be with us wanting everything for the people for nothing, from the people that have something BUT on the other hand, those business types that wanted everything from people that had something, all for themselves and no one else, are just as ridiculous to me but way more dangerous then those slogan chanting but hurting no one, old communists.
