With all the talk about this new government run healthcare system, the townhall meetings and Conservatives who oppose the plan being labeled “angry mobs”, one lucky site owner is totally raking it in, or should I say “ranking” it in?

Talk about making the Web work for ya! This lady bought the domain http://www.AngryMobtshirts.com over a year ago, well before all the name calling began (And let’s give a shout out to Nancy Pelosi for that - she’s helping this site owner make piles of cash). She was just checking her stats one day, and was enormously surprised to see that the site was getting tons of traffic. She had previously used the site to sell Cafe Press merchandise, but quickly got to work throwing lots of Republican and Conservative bumper stickers, conservative t-shirts and other items together for sale on her newly popular site.

The owner, who would like to remain annonymous, cites the fact that most Republicans have a great sense of humor and are having a great time with the merchandise. “Republicans have a great sense of humor, contrary to what some people believe,” the owner laughs. She says the response to the merchandise has been fantastic. “Those so-called ‘angry mobs’ are the reason Obama is now stalling on the idea of a ‘public option’ in the proposed health care bill. Many Republicans feel the joke is now on Nancy Pelosi. Buying the merchandise gives them the guilty pleasure of rubbing it in.”

Because the owner feels as though she has won the “Google Lottery” in Search Traffic, she has pledged to donate 10% of the proceeds to the GOP. Pretty Cool! This folks, is the way capitalism, free enterprise and even charitable contributions should work. Finding a niche, and running with it in the U.S. can make or break you. The system is set up so that anyone with a little capital and a fantastic idea can go all the way. And if they fail, whether its because the idea was not that great, they didn’t work hard enough, or the market was not there for the product, then so be it. That leaves some room in the market for the next guy. I sure hope it stays that way. Hard work and ingenuity should be rewarded. If you start punishing folks for great ideas and making money, pretty soon folks will quit coming up with good ideas. Then where will we be?
