Rumor circulating that Obama is tiring to discredit Capitalism so he can push through his left agenda.
Quote from TGregg:
Pffft. He doesn't need to discredit capitalism to push through a socialist agenda. Just tell everybody they get <A href="http://wethepeople.org/wpblog/index.php/2009/02/28/childs-fable-free-ice-cream/">free ice cream</a>, and he's set.
Quote from OPTIONAL777:
Discrediting the corrupt brand of capitalism born of Reagan and matured fully by Bush is a necessary part of the process to return to a spiritually based society...
When this country embraced a marriage of materialistic greed and excess as somehow virtuous with the false Christianity under Reagan, the die was cast for the current situation, and the normal reactionary over reactions we are now seeing.
You just don't get it, it isn't he socialist who caused this mess, it is isn't he socialist who is going to fix this mess, and it sure as hell ain't going to be the corrupt capitalists who got us into this mess in the first place.
All of you who defended Reagan Voodoo economics, trickle down ponzi scheme, Iran Contra, Read my lips former head of the CIA, Bush Jr. and Cheney...this is on your heads.
Clinton just gave a democrat spin to the same corruption that began 3 terms before he took office.

Quote from NeoRio1:
It is amazing how you advocate individual liberty yet support candidates that advocate bigger government.
What is your definition of a spiritually based society? One where government controls everything?
Also what human instinct stronger then individual self interest will your spiritually based society attract?
Freedom is the right to have as little government in your life as possible. The more government tells you what you can do with your own body the less freedom you have. The more money government takes from you the less freedom you have. The more government tells you what you can and can't do the less freedom you have.
Does this make sense?
Making sure everyone gets paid the same amount of money is not ideal. It is an insult to the potential of human beings.
Without insulting the potential of your species what governmental structure exudes more individual liberty then a republic that woriships the concept of individual liberty?
Quote from vhehn:
"I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," Bush told CNN television, saying he had made the decision "to make sure the economy doesn't collapse."
Bush's comments reflect an extraordinary departure from his longtime advocacy for an unfettered free market, as his administration has orchestrated unprecedented government intervention in the face of a dire financial crisis.
"I am sorry we're having to do it," Bush said.
