Why is it always poor people that love capitalism ?

Funny, you do realise the people spewing this are the same people whose multi-billion dollar companies are propped up by the state, whereby under the free market hypothesis the would have died out.

Actually, those bailouts are an artifact of Socialism, not capitalism. I do not agree with them.

Capitalists weren't crying about government staying out when they bailed out all the banks and wall street and saved them though were they?

Actually, yes we were. The autocompanies, and the banks, should have been left to fail. Ford should have been rewarded with increased market share for conducting their business responsibly.

Also, those were union sponsored bailouts, socialism in action.

My country goes out of its way to get my treatment whatever the cost.

My country is not, and should not be, responsible for paying my doctor bills.

Forget pure Socialism...looks like Venezuela is upgrading to Keynesian Economics [Quasi-Socialism disguised within a Capitalist system]:



The poor ppl of Venezuela will love this. There might not be any toilet paper in Venezuela....but at least this military hero is doing his part for economic recovery applying the broken window parable. You see...needing a new windshield helps the economy and creates Jobs. Aggregate demand just rose 5%, boosted GDP. Give this man a Nobel Price in Economics.
