What Has Happened to Capitalism

Bailouts, Stimulus packages, States lining up for handouts, banks not lending money...give me a break. What about the idea of letting our Capital System work in this country. What about the idea of instead of handing out Billions of dollars to people to stimulate the economy (which by the way is a short term fix, if a fix at all) we cut tax's, cut capital gains, cut corporate tax's, look at the consumption tax idea. These types of ideas are long term things that will rebuild this economy, and at the same time not put our children and grand children into debt for ever. All this stimulus crap is doing is building a bigger and less efficient government. Apparently government thinks that if they are involved with every aspect of our lives, our lives will be better...don't think so. Tell me one or two government programs that have worked??? Anyway my feeling is that Capitalism will work if we just suck it up and get back in that game

The brains of our Socialists brethren just do not process your clear logic. Why take our money just to give it back?

Oh, I forgot, to spread it around.

I better be careful when I say that, my tax returns may just happen to fall on a auditor's desk.

Anyone else notice how well the war is going?

Is that the War on the Middle Class that you are referring to?
