We now have lawsuits being filed at the rate of one hundred million cases a year. Many of these suits have nothing to do with right and wrong, but instead, are predicated on the desire of one party to extract wealth from another party. Several bills have proposed even more onerous taxation. If you have attempted to pursue the American dream of wealth, of independence, have the ability to control your life, you may very well be disappointed by these numbers. In fact, you may be frightened.
Ordinary people have extraordinary problems.
In many cases these problems are not problems of their own doing, they were simply matters of circumstance. Imagine a group of business partners getting together for an informal lunch to discuss their work, one of the secretarial staff in the office is asked to go to a local restaurant and pick up an order for these partners. Unbeknownst to the partners as part of her normal work environment, this party has a poor driving record, several accidents and speeding are the main cause of these problems. The secretary leaves the building, climbs into their car, and proceeds to pick up lunch. In the midst of this trip excessive speed is taken by the employee.
