Hussein’s government policy IS communism. Capitalism works fine without gov. and Fed intervention.

Capitalism will fall due to being attacked from within, same reason why the Federal Government will go bust.

Barry makes it clear EVERY DAY just who he is and what his Administration is up to, and is continually testing public opinion through the still-slavish MSM to see how far he can go. Mere intellectual/philosophical arguments aren’t gonna do it for his public approval to plummet:
he’s gotta be shown, and shown again, to be an amateur, and not equal to the challenges that are going to come on the international scene. He’s , in other words, got to be PROVEN wrong, gullible, naive on the one hand and dangerous, damaging, and incompetent on the other. He’s got to have a REAL Watergate level scandal,along with the rest of his Dem enablers. Something like what’s going on with Pelosi right now is perfectly adequate to kick it off. But it’s gotta come and come and not stop, and only that will create the groundswell that will convince Barack and his Party they should leave.

Thing is, we don’t have capitalism in the US. We had soft socialism, and we are rapidly moving to hard facist communism. And the WILL fail.

This guy might be on to something.

I've been reading some Alexis de Tocqueville lately. We always said that the US would exist and prosper until the politicians realized they could bribe the voters with their own money. Or better stated the voters allowed the politicians to bribe them with their own money.

Well it's undeniable that we've reached that point.

What we in the USA have now is Obamunism; a mixed-breed system combining the worst aspects of communism with the worst aspects of the minority welfare-pandering culture, political correctness and Utopian one-worldism.

If we ever see a responsible society put a capitalist system in place we will watch it to see if it succeeds.

Communism fails because at it’s core it’s dependant upon being forced on people. Capitalism will never fail because at its root it is the natural order of man, not merely to freely trade amongst ourselves but to take stored wealth and apply it to further endeavours.

Anyone who posits that capitalism has “failed” in some aspect is either evilly disingenuous or hasn’t taken the time to dig down and find out that whenever there is a “failure” of capitalism, the states hand is not far away...
