Actually we could both be wrong. Just in, the FBI is investigating all these companies due to possible conspiracy and fraud.

I'll save a profanity-laced anti-Communist tirade for some other time. Suffice to say, free men and women working in a capitalist society > serfdom and subjugation to 'planning committees.'

Capitalism is not bad, the fact is America is becoming a socialism for the rich, where it only favors that class.

In fact Capitalism makes people work to the top, its exiting, socialism is for the lazy.

Socialism for the rich.... that makes no sense.... eventhough you're right.

Yes a socialism for the rich, where the government only helps out those in high class, and don't let the smaller businesses suceed, i think there is a word for it, oh right...fascism.

"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini

That is absolutely right. Your seeing the merge between corporate fat cats and the government. The government becoming larger, and squashing the middle class, helping CEO's from Walmart smashing very small companies from the middle of nowhere, people that are trying to make a profit fall deeper on debt, and as for the Donkeys, and the Elephants, all they do is fight with silly sentences, without any real proof of leadership, the media just wants viewers, and viewers become couch potatoes, and see their country fall through a TV screen.

And then what do we see? People complaining to CEO's, at the same time those companies keep the people alive, with nice fancy stuff, as well as plasma tv's that help them sink even more into couchpotatoe land. All of a sudden, the American people realize just how materialistic they were, and them with their own money helped in the destruction of their own economy. With no way to fix it, they turned to a man, who is an idealist, as well as charming, young, and an exellent public speaker, not to mention rather attractive, and is the kind of guy, or girl that will say that he or she will make things right.

All of a sudden they put this person in office, and they give him a government that is full of power, running out of control. He is so capable that he conveinces the rival parties to unite into one, all of a sudden, we have a single party with 98% of the votes behind him. And with that power he is able to manage the economy, without interfearance. The market will change, everything will start to look good, the economy will triple, and will grow double digits for his first four years in office. He becomes so popular, that no party gets the vote to challenge him. No one is wanted except for him, he runs unchallenged for the apparent last 4 years in office.

This is when it can get funky. Something weird happens in the Middle East, and Egypt all of a sudden dissolves Jerusalem in a nuclear fireball, eliminating the last and only jewish state. In an effort to make Egypt pay, America attacks the Egyptians, and dissolve them into nuclear fire. Then we have a nuclear war, somehow the Iranians were able to build their new generation of nuclear armament, selling it to the Russians, as well as the Koreans, this new bombs have triple the effect of a nuclear bomb. In an effort to keep Americans secure, this man is chosen to rule by decree for 16 years. All of a sudden tada there is a dictator in America, and a nuclear war in the Middle East, most likely terrorist groups will get a hold on this nuclear arsenal.

This is what rarely happens, and it might not happen at all.
