Orren Boyle started his company with $100 thousand of his own money – plus a $200 million government loan. Contrast this with how Hank Rearden started and what that implies, both in terms of personal character and government policy. This looks familiar. Substitute "Air America" for "Orren Boyle" and "Rush Limbaugh" for "Hank Rearden." Liberals always think you can start at the top. No need to work your way up! The same applies to those that boycott foreign goods because of child labor. While it may be distasteful, we went through that phase. You cannot skip steps. It is a step that must be taken as countries and families rise out of abject poverty. Another example might be low wages paid in other countries. By buying those goods are we rewarding evil or helping to lift up these societies? After all, if higher paying jobs were available, don't you think the workers would change jobs? hh

I forgot to include that Rush spent 18 years creating what he has, and the libs want to either start at the top or have government mandate “equality.” My response to Air America is: get back to me in 18 years and we’ll talk....

Good catch. I refer to it as "doing your time on the sweatshop cross." Everybody does it.

I re-read your post and realized that this statement is even more important than the one I cited earlier. So let's some fun by exploring this statement.

Why do liberals want to start at the top and avoid the necessary steps of working one's way up the ladder? Get to the bottom of that one, and you've hit the Unified Field Theory.
