I wish someone could compile a list of millionaires and billionaires that have been made in the last 15 years from businesses that have gone bust or been involved in illegal or unethical business practices. From the “silicon bubble” of the 80′, Enron, trading scandals of the 90′s to this mess and many others, thousands of people have become VERY RICH as the average person picks up the cost in the form of deflated stock prices, government bailouts, loss of their retirements, and decreased opportunity for needed capital.

The stain is not that these things happen; it is that no one pays a price. They sit in their homes in the Hamptons, Cape Cod or San Francisco, and wax endlessly about how bad America is…not noting how they were integral to the manifestations of greed.

In these liberal capitals of America, no one seems to ask how one made their money. Conveniently, it is the ends that seems to justify the means.
