He's not paying everything out of pocket, therefore he is not a great entrepreneur? My understanding is that great entrepreneurs find ways to distribute the risk.


Great entrepreneurs, in my opinion, Deal with others peacefully. They don't use the power of government to force people to invest. Or "distribute the risk" (a euphemism for overriding people's choice over what risks they choose to take).

Our government distributes enough risk to me already, while letting the pseudo entrepreneurs keep all the upside. That's the reason all those credit default swaps made by Goldman Sachs and others were paid for by the taxpayer.
