So what's the difference between Socialism and these recent Government bailouts?

Free market my butt!!! From outward appearances, it looks like the taxpayers are subsidizing CEO parachutes and Retirement Hedge Funds. The recent Fed moves is like privatized profits with socialized risks and I don't get the profits, nor do I get a say in which corporation gets subsidized or not.

So, are we witnessing de facto Socialism?

    Absolutely no difference. All the people who come on this site and call Obama a socialist are blind as bats. Socialism is exactly what's happening. But I'm sure the Republicans have their own explanation, so they can continue to fool themselves.

  • Yes. It's been that way for years and it's coming from both sides of the fence, not just one. I'm tired of it. Two parties ruling our country as one. As voters we need to step up and take responsibility because if we make our voice heard by showing support for other parties they might get a clue that this is unacceptable. Every four years they act like they care to get our votes, then they continue on for three, lubing us and ####ing us royally.

    Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

    Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

    Actual economics is the persons that are paying the business loans of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for. Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

    Anti-Democracy Republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents, and false government.
