Yesterday, I posted a link to a National Review article praising the efforts of Gov. Mitch Daniels in making Indiana more business-friendly. The headline on the article was "Open for business," which was meant, and I took to mean, as a compliment to the governor. Tracy Warner of The Journal Gazette (or perhaps I should have said "another newspaper in town" and made you guess), disagrees:
To me, saying a government is "Open for Business" is not a positive phrase. Think: "Congress is Open for Business." It is another way of saying "Everything's For Sale to the Highest Bidder."
I don't think I need to add too much commentary. You should now have an excellent grasp of the difference between Tracy's mindset and mine when it comes to business.
