Personally, the most dangerous thing I see threatening Capitalism these days are blanket statements about aspects of Capitalism. There have always been bad players. There will always be bad players. The idea one whole sector is bad, or everyone in Washington is bad as it relates to Capitalism, is goofy.
The Left is doing it's damnedest to destroy Capitalism. They forced bad loans on lending institutions, and are still doing it. So do we address the bad policies of the government and the bad actions of bad players, or do we make blanket statements?
Wall Street, lending institutions, banks, and corporations are all being focused on right now, and many on the right (or more accurately fancy themselves to be on the right), have revealed themselves to be perfectly willing to carry the Leftist water in their zeal to get those bad guys.
Right here on this forum we've got folks making blanket statements about Banks, lending institutions, Wall Street, Corporations... and on it goes. Folks, who needs Leftists if we're going to destroy these institutions of Capitalism for them? What the hell is going on with some of you?
Bank of American had to settle another suit last week for $300 plus million, because it had denied loans to people in problematic areas. Of course all the victims were Black or of Hispanic background. No White were harmed in the creating of these charges...
Leftists are gaming us right now, and we're falling for it lock stock and barrel.
We should go after bad players and defend the system. Without the Capitalist pillars, we'll be no better off than Russia in short order. Please quit playing the Left's game by their rules.
It’s called the Sampson Option. When the institutions have been entirely corrupted, you implode them.
And don’t think the banks are victims. They are so infested with leftists they can’t wait to fork over the money and support the federal deficit by loaning to the government for its guaranteed return than to legitimate business and private borrowers.
Good post. It needed to be said.
The big problem is crony socialism pretending to be crony capitalism. Maybe it is more like fascism, but who understands that anymore?
Our side has never learned yet how words are used to win the narrative. Until we learn to put the correct label on something that describes it, we lose the argument.
However, the idea of throwing them all out has some merit in certain regions that are populated with idiot Democrats. They're so stupid, if they can be convinced they're doing the right thing by throwing them all out, then, go for it BUT if someone has a brain and has the intelligence to think this dumb idea through, do not throw out good conservative Republicans.
