The reasons for the current mess INCLUDES socialistic policies of lending money to low income people to get houses they could not afforid. It is all over out there...all you need to do s a likkle research.
Other interferneces with free market theory and socialistic in natures is the overlossening of credit allowing too much credit, and finally interest rates being kept artificially low. These have all been done to help the lower classes and are not part of a free market theory of capitalism but actually contrary to such. These interferneces with the market along with greed and the belief that every American deserves the American dream whether they work for it or not is at the root tahnks to the CommuDems.
Finally, at least the issue is becoming clear...the support here for Obama by some of you is because you believe in socialism. I would sggest two things. Find some former Russian citizens who experienced that over there and ask them to compare it to how they live here adn what htey think about it. Second...go and research the island we love and the socialist experiment that went on there which led to those with any capital to invest to leave and severly harmed their economy and why it is they returned to capitalism and the imrpovements that have rsulted from it. anyhoo...you all have a great evening!
