Tall poppy syndrome - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In the 19th century AD, Americans ganged up against successful innovative entrepreneur John Rockefellar, breaking up Standard Oil, for being "too successful"….

In the 20th century AD, Americans ganged up against Bill Gates & Microsoft….

i predict, that in the history of America, no innovative intelligent entrepreneurs will ever avoid Ronald Reagan's maxim, "if it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving regulate it…."
if anyone says otherwise, then they are not describing reality (Wisdom warns, that "the truth hurts", whereas "honey caught flies" are fools). 'tis only the "stop movings" that are "subsidized", in American culture (which is also the way it works worldwide).

(of all the things that are also true, the above is also true, i personally predict)

(the same is sayable for body builders, "John Rockefellar's of the gym", in case anybody cares)
 
Reagan was referring to "The Governments' view of the Economy" when he said that.

Interesting how you can post two different threads at the exact same time.
