Steve Wynn Takes on Washington

Another capitalist upset enough to speak up in public: Hotel and casino executive Steve Wynn, who in this YouTube video lambastes "wild uncontrolled spending," "the hypocritical SOBs in Washington," and taxes that "are changed every five minutes."

"We're on our way to Greece," he says. "Is there a businessperson or a media person in America that isn't frightened of the next crazy idea that's coming from Washington?"

He says he's going to spend half his time in Macau because the opportunities he sees abroad are "far superior" to those in America.

I think he's a little too sanguine about Chinese stability (what's the cost?), but the whole video is newsworthy nonetheless.
