But I think there’s some cherry-picking going on here as well. Some media manipulation. What about his statement that progressivism is “fruits of the devil”? That wouldn’t support the latest claims that he is a leftist. And then there is his statment about “unrestricted capitalism”. Was he actually supporting socialism or addressing some legitimate flaws? So I’m just going to suspend judgement for now.
Supposedly it was mistranslated, and should have read "unrestricted consumerism."
He might not have known about Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank and all the other regulations. He is just a tad unsophisticated in that way. We have plenty of fetters. I still think he was really trying to make people think.
