Great piece! The key sentence for me was this: "The proper role of government is to help create a climate in which opportunities are abundant."

"You think everybody out there who's not doing well in life has been screwed by life, or do you think some of them are idiots? You know, I want to help the helpless, but I don't give a rats ass about the clueless anymore".

Well, the US Chamber of Commerce board or committee endoresed Jim Matheson in a local race here. I agree with what he is saying in the article but then they need to carry that over to what they really do. Sounds like this guy needs to talk with some of his underlings because Matheson is just a tax/spend guy.

I was watching that last night for some reason. (Don't normally watch Leno) I was laughing pretty hard at a few of the things he was saying and even funnier was Leno's reaction to it.

It's right there in the Constitution, verbatim.
