Thanks, Chewie -- I agree 100% [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

I had a post on this last night that failed to go through. Little time today. Basically, it's the fault of big government -- which liberals tend to support. If we had not let our government become such a financial actor, Disney would not be factoring the gummint's opinion into Disney's business decisions. The enemy here is government hand outs and incentives. The problem with government is that its a self-propogating monster. It just grows and grows and gobbles up society. 40% of Americans depend on the government for their money in one way or another. How far a cry from socialism it that? (None if you as me.)

To wrap back around and close the loop here, I note every liberal I know supports more government involvement in just about everything. They want to feed the monster. Almost every government employ will vote Democrat and support more government employment, hiring, and growth. It's simply what is.

Now, to put on the other hat for a minute, I note that Republicans are really interested in the government money too -- they like to spend it on companies they own or are friendly with. So, they aren't exactly the "good guys" here. But, at least some Republicans I know would like to see a real downsizing of the government -- and that would be a nice start.
