Well, we suuuure as hell don't want to NATIONALIZE any industry or business...god knows, government is BAD and business is GOOD. I mean, can you imagine having national health care? Boy, government would screw that up, eh? It couldn't deliver a product or service efficiently like good old free market business, could it?!
Can we get these bozos to run the Pentagon for a few years, to bankrupt that operation, too? How long until the entire Republican party requests a few billion, because the whole political system will collapse if they go bankrupt?
Any company that lays claim to "personhood" should also have to submit to the same rules of bankruptcy that REAL PEOPLE have to endure.
The new unspoken N word is NATIONALIZION, baby! If the government is footing the bill, directing the operators, (better be) controlling the pay scales of those operators, welllllll, people, that is NATIONALIZATION! Wouldn't you love to see any intervierwer ask any political heavyweight, especially a Repub bailout backer, why this isn't NATIONALIZATION?

I'd say they'd nationalize the news media, but we're a short step from FOX/Pravda as it is.

Well they couldn't bite the hand that feeds them now could they? You are spot on, but we are being manipulated by the same forces that Germany used to take over their peeps. The fall of the dollar, thecrash, next up the Reichstag fires!!! Yeah capitalism, a la Austin Powers!!!

But, we are a capitalist society! We aren't nationalists . . . are we? I mean, we are a country of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations . . . but, that means that we are more fascist than nationalist, yeah? And, Moussellini was a fascist and HE loved his people, yeah?

Our problem isn't that the government has taken over the corporate world. Our problem is that the corporate world has taken over our government. That, and we keep electing people into office who insist that government is bad, but the only thing bad is the people in the goverment who think it is bad. So, if we actually elect a majority of people into office that believe in the good of the government, and believe that government can work, then our government will work. Weird concepts, I know, I know. But, I promise that they will work.
