From StockTwits:
The word is: Ineptocracy
1. Ineptocracy
*_Ineptocracy_****(in-ep-toc’-ra-cy) – a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers*

Since I started reading about the Occupy Wall Street protests I’ve been amazed how well planned and organized they seemed to be. Then I started to notice other things.
I posted the other day about the Working Families Party recruiting people, possibly as protesters. The Working Families Party is also connected to SEIU.
And then I remembered [...]

Among other things, the Washington Post dispenses with the notion that millionaires don’t pay their fair share, or that they pay less tax than their secretaries:
In a speech on Monday, Obama said raising taxes on millionaires isn’t class warfare, but “math.” His math may be off: According to the IRS, those with adjusted gross incomes of [...]

2006:
Waterloo Region firms need people to fill more than 2,000 positions – jobs at Research in Motion [...]

It looks like come hell or high water, Waterloo Region is going to have a Light Rail Transit system, whether residents want it or not. Pretty much every option presented includes an LRT component. We are told that the majority of attendees at public information sessions were in favour. When politicians note the overwhelming opposition [...]

The largesse of government organizations, who just can’t even pretend to be concerned about frittering away tax dollars, never ceases to amaze me:
The Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs needs someone to run the Facebook page for the Dept. of the Interior and they’ll pay up to $115,000 a year. Over at the Dept. of Defense, [...]

Over at the National Post, Kelly McParland gets it bang on:
Every day it gets a little bit harder to know when to be offended in Canada. Since being offended has become part of the national culture, with a network of human rights bodies established to ensure no one should ever be offended by anything without [...]
