Back in April, it was Pravda, believe it or not, the Russian News service that warned the end of American Capitalism was very near:
The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more then another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.... Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper but a "freeman" whimper.
So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? ...The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.
The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

I have to say I’m impressed with this Obama fellow.
The damage that George W. Bush did to this country in 8 years is nothing compared to what Obama has done in less than only 12 months!
Democrats have been trying to kill Capitalism for a long time. Republicans can usually be counted on to help them. No one can stay awake that long.
That's easy. You, like myself will be carried out of our last jobs feet first. If we're lucky.
Socialism has ALWAYS FAILED. The current 535 losers are mentally ill.
