American "capitalism" now consists of a system where it's in the best interests of the poor and middle class to compensate the risk undertaken by the owners of capital.
Let me say clearly that I think it's in all our interests to support the general precepts of these bailouts, I just find myself wondering how "capitalism" got us to that point.
This is not the America I was brought up to believe in.
This blog seeks to highlight abuse of power, deception, corruption, and just plain bad ideas in government and corporations.
