So he's doing his best to strengthen capitalism in the hope of one day being able to destroy it. Got it.

Is that what he's doing when he boosts welfare in the effort to cut poverty, or when he's bankrolling companies that go bankrupt non stop?

I challenge you to list ONE bill signed into law by Obam which boosted capitalism

Social equality is a progressive phrase used as justification for taking something that belongs to someone else.

Cronyism is alive and well in the WH my friend.
I have no control over whom the WH picks and chooses to bankroll.

Im not a democrat and I did not vote for Obama; neither of which impacts my ability to spot a boot-licker.

Strengthening it??? He's busy trying to kill any new business start-ups from being created. 0bama's regulatory climate is shutting down new businesses, and consolidating everything into fewer hands so they are more controllable. It's easier to control a few very large corporations and businesses then it is to control tens of thousands of smaller, independent ones.

It also helps to dehumanize and demonize the people you want to steal from, so the ignorant masses will cheer you on.

He prob thinks the green energy, crony capitalism 0bama is engaging in is boosting capitalism.

When the Dems give a company money it's called "job creation".
When the Repubs give a company money it's called "corporate welfare".

Why is that ?

I guess the Repubs in the House will have to do.
These old buffoons helped create the mess that we are in...so they are (retiring) leaving it to someone else to figure out how to fix it...and they will be gone and no longer blamed. United States Senate elections, 2014 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
