Today the forces of oppression and inefficiency have decided to interfere with the free transaction of goods and services by the enterprising salesman Rod Blagojevich. In his quest to attain the American dream, this young Serbian took advantage of the opportunities to finally take a piece of his pie by simply helping his fellow Americans advance in these most interesting times, who can fault that?
Instead of being greeted for his creative attempt at job creation, the government does that which it always does to free enterprise:stifling innovation. Instead of being allowed to trade his ground breaking method of transferring a seat between two consenting parties, the Forces of Business Inhibition arrested the great enterprising young man. They even claim that such enterprise is "a new low!" A new low! If only Milton Friedman himself in his diminutive glory could see the breathless efficiency with which the Serbian savant reduced barriers to entry in the US Senate market and created additional consumer surplus with each new commission seat appointed to his neighbors. The shame that Uncle Milty had to depart us before he could view in all of the glory as another immigrant's son displayed the heights achievable with the American Dream!
However, free marketers everywhere have stated hopefully that Mr. Blagojavich will not be touched by too many "invisible hands" in the state prison. Blagojevich states his innocence, claiming to be following in the footsteps of economic visionaries such as "Creative bond marketer Michael Milken, energy guru Kenneth Lay, and veteran stock valuator Scott Waksal."
Given the depth of knowledge that the governor has in the complicated world of political office efficiency, shouldn't he be admired for his prowess rather than pilloried?
