i made some assumptions regarding your intelligence and apparently overshot by quite a bit. i guess on one hand, you could look at that as a compliment given some of the stuff you've said.

Hilarious that you are being condescending while defending the failed right wing economics that have (predictably) brought us to the brink of depression. You calling others naive, i-r-o-n-y. The policies have failed right in front of your eyes but you are so indoctrinated that you keep telling yourself up is down. It must be communism that made the capitalist system collapse. People like you remind everyone how Nazism and Sovietism were able to occur. People can make themselves believe anything.

Capitalist system collapsed? Economies grow and contract in equal proportion to growth. Are you that naive? Really? We had over 20 years of unreal growth globally... how is it that some of your fucking retards don't even understand the very basics of macroeconomics?
... Or .... are you just saying as so many before you that Capitalism can't work (i assume you give any sales you make to the people) and is destined to fail in spite of the obvious facts to the contrary?
Sorry... i thought the US was the worlds largest and most successful economy ever in the history of the planet. I wasn't aware that we are doing it wrong.
Where this country fucks up is when government gets involved in a free market, trying to legislate success and rewarding failure (i.e. airlines, farmers and auto industry). Japan during its major collapse tried over 20 times to bail out everyone, inject more capital into the market and it did absolutely nothing. It takes time to correct itself and you can't speed that up by playing God.
Today we are pumping money into banks that are sitting on tons of their own capital as it is and now everyone has their hand out. That reason they have their hand out is the Marxism part... they know that the people and the government will happily reward shitty business practices and prop up a dying business with MY tax dollars... so they ask for it. Why wouldn't they? And here we are, rewarding failed businesses for poor business practices with tax payer money. lesson learned? nothing.
Finally... stop being an idiot. Bush has as much to do with the economic slowdown and housing market collapse as Clinton did with the .com boom.
ironic that you start talking about indoctrination and being brainwashed when here you are.... towing the party line all the way. that sounds perfectly fair, balanced and objective to me. you're a genius.
