Over 50 percent of American's are stock owners... Second, Millions of people invest in the market..

True and good. But most people are tied to their jobs. Lose them and they loose everything. Very few are, or can be, or ever will be, true capitalists.

I'm not advocating the overthrow of the capitalist system. I recognize its strengths and the weaknesses of competing systems. But laissez faire had been criticized from the beginning by no less than Adam Smith. I stand with TR - regulation is necessary, limits must be set and observed. What kind? No ideology has yet been invented which can answer that question. It's all trial and error.

Globalization is threatening the the American working and middle-classes and environmental gains. I think liberals are right to criticize at least some of the Administrations responses to the threat.
