Power Mad Democrats

President Obama fired the head of General Motors-this is extraordinary. Unprecedented actions continue with Barney Frank pushing the innocuous-sounding Pay for Performance Bill of 2009 through his committee. This bill will allow the government to set salaries for those employees of companies that accept or have accepted bailout money (government aid). Not merely a handful of executives would be subject to government limits on pay but virtually any worker. The lesson companies must take from this is do not accept government aid. If you dance with the devil, he always names the tune. Even if companies decline assistance or even are in sound financial health, these power-mad Democrats may extend their reach and dictate their salaries as well. Obama glides smoothly down the slope of restricting liberty with his party cheering each socialist overreach and his mass media amen choir expediting rather than investigating which used to be the job of journalists. Any critic of the new Marxism is turned into an object of derision and nothing stands in the way of an unalterable decline.
