Socialism for the Wealthy .... Capitalism for the Poor...

It is definitely an interesting concept:

Even Tomas Jefferson had something to say about it:

Socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some sources state that it is 'the poor' who bear all the risk in our society. I would differ and suggest it is the middle class who bear all the risk.

We are NOT a capitalist society. And for all on here who preach 'free market' this and 'free market' that when it comes to health care and other things that would benefit ordinary Americans, someone needs to step forward and explain why Chrysler is still in business. If not for American socialism in the mid 90's Chrysler wouldn't even be around now. We have seen socialism for the wealthy and the middle class absorbing the losses the last 4 years. Anyone who thinks the wealthy in today's world got there by pulling themselves up by the boot straps really needs to think again.!

 

Maybe you should take this up with all the pimps for endless bailouts, "stimulus" programs, worthless fiat money and central economic planning.

 

In a truly 'free market' Chrysler would have been gone before the year 2000.

 

In a truly free market, New York City and Cleveland would have had to file for reorganization under bankruptcy laws.

In a truly free market, there wouldn't have been the prepackaged shotgun bailouts of Chrysler and GM, to float the UAW's over extended pension and benefit programs.

In a truly free market, states would've had to deal with their overspending, ranter than getting a big fat bailout, under the guise of the phony "stimulus" program of '09.

I could go on, but I think you get my drift.

 

By no stretch is this a free market.
