Sell Sarbanes-Oxley

I guess if you can't make money the old fashioned way, the only thing to do is scuttle Sarbanes Oxley and go back to ripping off your shareholders. SOX is the most common sense thing GWB has done since he took office. Regulating the auditors and making sure that publicly traded companies play fair is the only way to go. If you can't make money under the law, then maybe you need to look at how you do business.
