The Political Class Is a Cloud Over Us All
Michael Goodwin, New York Post
Americans are in a panic. Crowds throng gun shows and shops. Blue-chip companies fast-forward next year’s dividends to this year. Investors cash out profits, estate planners report a rush of people trying to beat higher inheritance taxes and lobbyists line up for favors.What these people share is the goal of avoiding or benefitting from government actions. More than ever, the invisible hand of free markets is being replaced by the visible hand of bureaucrats. The political class is the new master of the universe.http://www.realclearpolitics.com/2012/12/30/the_political_class_is_a_cloud_over_us_all_298771.html
