California is an example to learn from

[bga1]

California is now losing $40 million PER DAY. Take note. This is what happens when you set up an adverse heavy tax, heavy regulation business climate, allow environmentalists to take over and set up the most punitive tax rates for high income individuals. California has had 58% of it's taxes paid by 1% of the people. Now they are moving out and taking their money with them.

Note to Feds- do NOT bail out this sorry state.

Bailouts beget more bailouts. Eventually, free enterprise and personal responsibility will have vanished from our once great Republic. Perhaps that's the unspoken goal. The line wanting taxpayer bailouts already extends down the block and around the corner.

Almost every day you talk about personal responsibility, often presenting the world as black or white. In concrete terms, what are you doing to make the world a better place and how do you account to those around you when you have done something wrong?

[Gopher4Life]

I don't make a lot of mistakes because I'm constantly aware of my personal responsibility and I don't take decisions and actions lightly. When we do screw up, as every one does, we should admit to our shortcoming, ask forgiveness when it impacts other people, and make suitable reparations. We shouldn't ask for a bail out and then laugh all the way to the bank. Accepting the consequences of one's own actions is really a very simple concept as long as it is taught early by parents. It's obvious to me that many Americans are no longer learning that lesson.
