You can thank the Republicans for the worst financial crisis since the great depression. If you really believe in the free market, you've got to be stupid. Wall street and the banks have proven over and over again that free unbridled capitalism doesn't work. Speaking as someone with a substantial financial net worth, I don't trust our financial markets as they are now structured. If that makes me a Socialist which most tea baggers don't even know the meaning of the word, so be it.

Nah... with their ultra-low wages, lack of environmental/labor laws and worker/consumer safety protections, oppressed masses and no substansial social safety net, China can be a well-connected Republican capitalist's wet dream...

What about the Democrat capitolists?
What they say and what they do are two different things.

Where's the equality?

thank Republicans??? Check out who voted for the "No Down Payment Left Behind" destructive housing bill. (The bad one with Bush not the bad one with Clinton.) Plenty of blame on both sides.

Free unbridled capitalism??? Hate to disappoint you but Wall Street, the Bankers, and the housing crash were NOT free market capitalism. When you artificially manipulate the system to allow houses to be purchased by individuals who did not previously qualify to buy a house, that is not free market.

lmao you call out the Tea Party for not knowing Socialism but you don't know the definition of free market capitalism. Corporatism, not capitalism, led to our financial disaster.
