According to Mark Cuban, serial entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, the most patriotic thing you can do is: "Bust your ass and get rich.

Make a boatload of money. Pay your taxes. Lots of taxes. Hire people. Train people. Pay people. Spend money on rent, equipment, services. Pay more taxes."

He also says:
"I’m not saying that the government’s use of tax money is the most efficient use of our hard earned capital. It obviously is not. In a perfect world, there would be a better option. We don’t live in a perfect world. We don’t live in a perfect time. We live in a time where the government plays a big role in an effort to help lead us out this Great Recession. That’s reality.

So I will repeat my point. Get out there and make a boatload of money. Enjoy the shit out your money. Pay your taxes.

Its the most Patriotic thing you can do."

I truly don't know how these people sleep at night.

Just when I started seeing light at the end of the tunnel Fec goes and screams "Train!"

Guerrilla Marketing has a cool biz card idea.

Some interesting health care stats for the developed world. Two numbers that grabbed my attention: US spends higher percentage of GDP (16%) on healthcare than other countries, yet has fewer doctors per capita than the others (2.4 per 1,000 vs. the 3.1 per 1,000 that is average in rest of developed world).

The President submits an op-ed to the Grey Lady. He states his case for health care reform. His final paragraph: "In the end, this isn’t about politics. This is about people’s lives and livelihoods. This is about people’s businesses. This is about America’s future, and whether we will be able to look back years from now and say that this was the moment when we made the changes we needed, and gave our children a better life. I believe we can, and I believe we will."
On a side note I must say that I'm fairly certain that the President engaged his staff to help write this piece, but at the same time I'm also fairly certain that he has the ability to pen the piece on his own if he so desires. Can't say I think the same about his predecessor's writing ability.
