I'm an American. I'm for prosperity. I've discovered, from 40 years of reporting, that what creates prosperity is limited government.
I had to watch government fail for 25 years doing consumer reporting before I really saw it because intuitively, the reaction is problem, bring government and government will make it better.
What I've learned in 40 years of consumer reporting is that the market is imperfect, and some people get ripped off.
I'm a little embarrassed about how long it took me to see the folly of most government intervention. It was probably 15 years before I really woke up to the fact that almost everything government attempts to do, it makes worse.
I never wanted to be an anchor for 25 years, and suddenly I wanted to be one.
Give me a break - They say taxes are inevitable, like death. At least death doesn't come every year.
