Either I’m really easily entertained, or Dilbert’s Scott Adams is a very smart guy.
I repeat the words of Mr. Adams every now and again, most recently a couple of months ago when the creator and author of the world’s most spot-on comic strip shared his opinion on how to fix the budget deficit.
In case you aren’t familiar with his back-story, Dilbert’s creator isn’t just a comic strip author. Before becoming one of the rich and famous he so often criticizes, Scott Adams was a well-educated cubicle dweller. The dude understands business and what works (and doesn’t work) about it.
Scott Adam’ latest proposal to fix the economy and budget deficit is to give the rich extra rights. Extra votes in [something constitutionally acceptable]. Essentially, make the rich preferred stockholders in this company we call the US of A.
It’s a wacky idea, right? Except it just might work.
