Asian Conservatives

First, the bank executives. Then the management at Chrysler and General Motors. Now in the heat of the health care debate, the Democrats have set their targets on insurance companies. Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) is submitting a letter requesting 52 insurance companies to provide details on how money is being spent, be it compensation or corporate events.

These insurance companies did not receive TARP funds. How they compensate their employees is none of the government’s business. Are these Democrats getting ready for another publicity stunt to tar the image of insurers, just as they did to the bank executives?

I hope these companies will stand firm on denying Rep. Waxman’s ridiculous request. Send him a box of sand and politely ask him to pound it.
