The Feds vs UBS

I guess Swiss banking giant, UBS, and US federal regulators have come to some kind of a settlement, wherein the bank will disclose the names of American clients holding accounts offshore, so they can be fined and/or prosecuted. Most news agencies report this as some kind of victory for the country, but we should never be so naive as to confuse the government of the United States' interests with those of the American people.
This, along with coming Obama tax hikes and regulations, will only serve to convince the wealthy to actually leave the country, and to take the economic power of their money elsewhere. Just like most things the Democrats do, IRS's policies will only end-up hurting the average American, by sending companies and jobs overseas, and driving what capital that does stay into passive situations. If the wealthy don't trust the government, or feel unwelcome in a country, the leave, and they take prosperity with them. I wonder who the Democrats actually work for.

WHY FOXNEWS?

Take a moment and compare the various news outlets on cable television these days - with the sound off. Most of the people on CNN, MSNBC and the like look like someone in the studio has gas, or like they just got a letter from their spouse's divorce attorney, and when you turn on the sound, you'd think you're listening to someone try to housebreak a stupid puppy. I'm not kidding, these people are a-holes, and they're the most condescending a-holes I've ever seen. Then, turn to FoxNews, or Fox Business Channel, and repeat the same steps. The news is the same, and the disaster of an economy is the same, but the people are different. Most of them are smiling, and even if they are disagreeing with a guest, most of the time they are pleasant, they seem to genuinely like the people they work with, and they seem happy to be alive. They look like someone you'd enjoy having lunch with, or being related to, or discussing the issues with, and it's the same, whether the sound is on or off. I don't agree with all of them, but there isn't one of them that I have the desire to give a good smack in the mouth, and I can't say that about most of the people on the other networks. The Fox people act like they are looking out for the American people, and the newsies on the other channels appear only to be fronting for the Democrats, and the Obama Administration, and let the nation and her economy be damned. I'm a conservative, sometimes Republican, but first I'm an American, and I want my news source to be "American", so FoxNews and the Fox Business Channel are where I tend to land. It's kinda like, Who'd ya rather spend the day with, your loving mother, or your bitter, aging, spinster aunt. The weather will be the same, so enough with the sour face already!
