How’s that capitalism thing working out for you?

So. Once again the workers, you know, the people who actually produce things, have to bail out the financiers.

That certainly explains why there isn’t any money to help people who are losing their homes, or have lost their jobs. Certainly explains why we can’t have universal health for every citizen, or why we can’t keep our infrastructure from collapsing, or our schools full of books.

The bastards need every penny they can get their hands on to kill, and to bail out wall street and the banks, and the insurance companies. The very ones who have made it their mission to extract every bit of money they can from the workers through usurious interest rates, spurious fees, and just plain theft.

Now, these are the same people who say that the people who have made bad decisions should just suffer the consequences. And that’s why the bankruptcy law needed to be changed. You know, people were taking advantage of the old law, and trying to hold onto their homes and cars, after being bankrupted through medical bills. Can you imagine the nerve of some people? After all, it was their own fault that they couldn’t afford a $1200 a month to buy health insurance for their family, and still afford groceries, all on their low-wage jobs. And thoes people whose jobs were moved overseas? Well, it was their fault too. So, of course, we couldn’t help them out, because that would be -gasp- socialism. And we can’t have anything like that in our free market rapacious capitalism, now can we.

After all the dust has settled, and the economy is chugging along again, and our grandchildren are still trying to pay off the government’s debt that’s being created with these bail outs and wars, you know what they’ll be listening to? That old bullshit about how we can’t help those less fortunate, because that would be socialism.
