Most of us do not believe in complete "unregulated" capitalism. That is dumb. We like safety laws and anti-monopoly laws... we like Choice and Competition. Today's version of capitalism is being more and more controlled by Government and that we don't like. Government picks and chooses which companies to hand out subsidies to (the companies that donate to their causes) and unfair regulations that are being imposed so that their interests can profit. It is pay to play and a majority of American business (the honest businesses) are loosing because the Government is providing unfair advantages to their "chosen" favorites.

It is the big corporate interests that make the rules, not the government. The government is just there to rubberstamp the dictates of the bankers and big business interests. Just look at the revolving door from the banking world into the top government finance posts. That is by design and keeps the government policies firmly under the control of the bankers.
The bankers, by their very nature, are driven by greed and profit at any cost, even if that means trashing the whole economy to achieve it. After all, that's a good thing - the more debt there is, the more control they have as a consequence.
ever wonder why the establishment gets to pick who runs for office? The old boy network and bankers get to vet who runs every time and will do whatever it takes to make sure the "right" person wins. If a fair system was in place they would have lost power a long time ago. Thus, Palin, for all her grandstanding, is just another selected tool willing to sell out her country to do the bidding of her controllers and enrich herself.

I hate to say it but your right- It speaks of Armageddon in the Bible. So bickering about Sarah Palin its not helping anyone. I heard somewhere that there is 85 Shariah Courts in the UK. So what does that tell you?edit on 10/15/2010 by Leyla because: Forgot the s on It.

The thing is, that she hasn't thought about
Exactly.
This woman does not think.
When she goes off script, or tries to comment on "real" issues, her ignorance shines.
And she is so popular that she says idiotic things and gets away with them.
Anyone who points this out is "liberal" scum or a misogynist.
It's inconceivable that one could simply be pointing out that the Emporer is naked.
