The fall of capitalism

Wow. So not only is the Federal Reserve indirectly buying equities owned by failing firms, the U.S. federal government is purchasing outright large portions of failing insurers. This is how socialism happens, not through creeping social programs, but through Republicans bailing out their failed buddies with public funds, spreading tentacles from the public to the private sector in a way that makes Hugo Chavez look like Hugh Akston.

I think it's pretty clear that they're all socialist, so it's not a matter of who's going to tax me more, it's a question of who's going to run roughshod over the rest of my rights.
