That you are cool with all this doesn't not make you a capitalist, it makes you an accessory to grand larceny.

I think JasonC's posts have been one of the most disgusting exercises in economic Orwellianism that I have ever seen on FR. Because I take serious issue with the incestuous relationship between Goldman Sachs and the Fed and Treasury, and the fact that GS would not be posting a profit now if it didn't get that $13 billion in AIG backstop money from the Feds, I somehow am anti-capitalist and pro-goverment spending.

As about an absurd a statement as one can make. Rationalizations such as this are why so many Americans now hold Wall Street in complete contempt. It's one thing for them to have screwed the pooch so completely. It's another for jackasses like JasonC to come to FR and act like they are virtuous and limited-government critics are not.

Goldman Sachs has "captured" the Federal government. Captured is a term used to describe the situation when the regulatory body (Federal government) no longer regulates but instead assists it's captors. Coronism is normal everyday term used to describe same. JasonC is a fool. lol, he will make a very fine serf.
