How does one reconcile that statement with "Governments, for instance, don’t create any wealth?" (This is an honest question, not a rhetorical one.) Pickens is the slime of the Swiftboat saga... this guy will sell his mother to the butcher if it earns him $$$. I know these are my blinkers, but I just can't get myself to trust a person with such a track record. Atanu,

I'd take anything coming from his mouth with a bucket of salt, or at a minimum, double-check his facts. Is this the same dude who was behind the Swift-Boat Veterans for “Truth” ads?
