The other day someone asked me in our Online Think Tank why I was a President Bush Supporter. We were discussing atmospheric ambient surface temperatures, you might consider this Global Warming, Climate Crisis or Climate Change. The very first thing that came to mind was that he was not a lawyer, he has an MBA and actual experience running a business.
Then the gentleman who loves Governor Richards in New Mexico for Democrat President in 2008 said that only one of President Bush’s businesses was really successful. I thought that was an interesting comment. Because the reasons most businesses in the United States are not successful is either due to lack of capital or incessant over regulation caused by the Democrats.
Regarding the businessman thing; You know every good businessman has lost it all and built it back, it is a universal truth. Tom Monahan, Dominoes Pizza, went broke three times, Ray Kroc was broke at 55 when he started. As an entrepreneur, Mr. Allan Greenspan was not very successful really, which he freely admits, but now he is one of the most sought after public speakers in the World.
Sometimes in business there are obstacles, barriers to entry, over regulation, too many lawyers (generally these comes from the liberal side of sticking their nose where it does not belong). The School of Hard Knocks is a very good way to learn how things really work. I would never follow a winner who has never experienced the agony of defeat, because they would not have what it takes when the going got tough.
Nevertheless business is a good teacher for working within the Primate Politics of mankind and even the scum who procreate like flies on feces in Washington DC, running around all dressed up pretending to be important while they make laws about things they know nothing about, all the while claiming “They are the government and they are there to help us?” Ouch.
