The Human Element - Study Abroad

by Peg-Eye Nate

In a recent interview President Barack Obama beseeched Wall Street executives to take a trip to places like North Dakota or Iowa in order to get in touch with the common man, so they would better understand the uproar over the bonuses. Well, my family spent the weekend in North Dakota. Two days were spent talking to the locals, taking in the sights, and attending a local church service. I took it upon myself to poll the family after the long trip back and I couldn't help but notice:

  • No one had any desire to raise taxes on the successful.
  • No one saw any good coming out of government stepping in and increasing its control of the financial system.
  • No one wanted to sleep in the car.

I hope the executives at AIG read this article and realize there is no need for them to climb in their corporate jets and take a tour of the rural states. What doesn't make sense in New York doesn't make sense in North Dakota, either.
