So we should trust a blowhard on a message board? The fact of the matter is, we will always have elected officials making certain decisions with taxpayer money. The only thing we can change is who we vote for. Ranting about government and how it works without providing a viable alternative is a waste of time.
You know there is an alternative to spending multiple trillions of our dollars.
Shouldnt you have told the president that before he got suckered into invading Iraq?
No question. Iraq aside from the horrible cost of many American lives has been a gigantic siphon on the economy. It is time to get the hell out of there. I do not know what we are waiting for. It seems Iraq is slated to be our 51st state.
Let's see three capitalist automakers beg for government help, government says ok but we aren't giving you the money we are buying a share of the company... seems pretty capitalistic to me.
Investment banks beg the government for help, government says fine, but you are going to have give us a piece of the action... again seems pretty capitalist to me.
Meanwhile, thousands of other U.S. corporations go about their business, or lack thereof, every day.
When the government starts taking over successful businesses call us.
Who was really begging for help? What institutions have or are attempting to give the money back? Who told us that these organizations were too big to fail? Who passed the bill(s)?
It started when the Capitalists decided to control the government.
They set the new rules, that favored "the big guys" and left out "the little guys"
And the rest of us sat on our hands saying "as long as we make money, we don't care what happens to the business".
Now we have none of either.
And blame the new guy.
I'm no longer concerned with when it started or who is/was to blame. I want it stopped TODAY!!! Stop spending my money, get your dirty corrupt government hands out of private enterprise. Let the companies fail by the rule of laws that are in place, not by government meddling and distortion / defiance of said laws. Let the chips fall and the dust settle. The unproductive, ineffecient and non-profitable companies can get out of the way and make room for new or re-grouped organizations, hopefully with better business practices and management that are not held in a strangle hold by the unions. The government doesn't decide what organizations will succeed, we do. Failure is part of capitalism it has to happen.

most do not love american capitalism
american capitalism means pickin peaches at 5 cents a bushel
means factory shifts 12 hrs a day sleeping on a mattress
most americans love consumerism
a dying religion
americans love to spend and hate to pay
they hate unions
you know, the thing that gave them their money
americans are ok with slavery
whether its illegal immigration, chinese prison labor for walmart
or street pimping of under age girls
as long as its not them, slavery is ok.
