We are in a country now where redistribution of income is the by word...no need to try and pull yourself up and be somebody. Those days, I am afraid, are over ! Being succesfull seems now to be something to be ashamed of !

Keep in mind, Lee Iacocca pulled Chrysler Corp up by the taxpayer's bootstraps. The 1979 Auto Bailout money was guaranteed by the government.
Mr Iacocca said in his 2007 book(Where Have All the Leaders Gone?) ; "Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage? We should be screaming bloody murder. We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, "Stay the course." Stay the course? You've got to be kidding. This is America, not the damned Titanic. I'll give you a sound bite: Throw the bums out!"
