Wealth creation is not a mathematical formula, as the truthseeking quant geeks still want everyone to believe. In the end, their lack of real-world experience and pride corrupted their mathematical genius and destroyed them. You may be able to digitize a daVinci, but that does not make it daVinci.

It is a fact that all—if not at least most—of the biggest names in American finance and industry out there today have proven after the 2008 crisis to be some of the most incompetent people there are. Starting with the untouchable Goldman Sachs, who was bailed out by over $5 billion from Warren Buffett, to AIG and Citibank, who were bailed out by the hundreds of billions of dollars from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), having a name and a history does not make you the brightest and the best.

State domination over its subjects has roots that connect statism, totalitarianism, communism, and socialism to more modern-day variants of liberalism and progressivism. It is a constant fight and we must win.

The government does not have a lot of answers, so the more we rely on the government, the more dependent we become, and the more we put our faith into the hands of others.
