Ah yes, socialism bad. Bad, bad socialism!!
Never mind that abject capitalism, and the inevitable greed that goes with it, is totally responsible for the present financial crisis.
I mean, I get that the view is that socialism supposedly dictates "I" pay for everyone else's health care and housing and education. And I know that even just the mere thought of welfare, cause related spending and public assistance causes most conservatives to need a little extra top shelf single malt in their coffee.
Guess what? I'd rather pay for those "socialist" programs with my taxes than bail out corporate hosers on Wall Street, thanks. Not that I had any say in the matter.
Why is one so evil and the other revered as just the good old American way?
I know. Just a dumb thought from a silly, pat me on the head, strap me into a helmet, ignorant bleeding heart liberal.
