Read Atlas Shrugged this Christmas

Jim Rogers used to live in America. When he had the means to live anywhere he wanted, he moved to Singapore. Here is how he describes what is going on now:

"Why are 300 million Americans having to pay for Citibank's mistakes? The way the system is supposed to work: people fail and then the competent people take over the assets from the failed people and you start again with a new, stronger base. What we are doing this time is they are taking the assets from the competent people, giving them to the incompetent people, and saying 'okay, now you can compete with the competent people.' So everyone is weakened. The whole nation is weakened. The whole economy is weakened. That's not the way it is supposed to work."

His entire interview is here. It's long, but very good. There is a better way that doesn't involve bloodshed, but we have to move fast.
