Is There Not a Single Capitalist Left in Washington DC?
Right Side News ^ | December 5, 2008 | JB Williams

Every passing day brings more news of more financial bailout requests and more congressional promises for more taxpayer funded bailouts. It's as if the concepts of freedom and capitalism have gone completely missing in Washington DC today.

What started a few weeks ago as a $70 billion dollar mortgage crisis (caused by congressional Democrats) has fast become a multi-trillion dollar international disaster that crosses all industry boundaries. According to the same illustrious leaders in Washington DC who caused all of it to begin with, only printing more play money and putting American taxpayers even deeper in multi-generational debt, is the solution.

Hogwash! - I beg to differ....

Newsflash, everyone. The sole purpose of government is to acquire power unto itself--and those contracted with it. This includes the big banks and businesses. Don't let the lefties blame free market capitalism. Free market capitalism is hostile to those schmoes. The banksters and the business muckamucks hate capitalism and love the government, so long as it's privatizing the profits and socializing the losses. We don't have a free market in this country. When have we ever had it? We have corporatism, mercantilism, cronyism...How is it any better than popular socialism?

You’re as likely to find a virgin in a brothel, and for the same reason.

Nearly all we have in DC now is Hippy generation freeloaders who are now scared to death they might lose their job and have to go to work flippin burgers. They are acting just like the Conservs turned into libs during the “NEW DEAL” Roosevelt giveaway days.

Oh there’s capitalists, they’re the legal immigrants running the small stores and hotdog carts in the ghetto, probably some of the few people in America that actually understand how a business is supposed to work.
