Just. Utterly. Shocked.

@mpesce Yeah just like Alan Greenspan was surprised that banks will not self regulate and will go into ponzi scheme like the mortgage subprime debacle. Liberterian (no tax, no govt) economics never worked ..otherwise Somalia would be the greatest place on earth right now to live in.
