No WONDER Democrats and other Liberals hate the Founders so much..."No Man has a more perfect reliance on the all-wise and powerful dispensations of the Supreme Being than I have, nor thinks his aid more necessary...The man must be bad indeed who can look upon the events of the American Revolution without feeling the warmest gratitude towards the great Author of the Universe whose divine interposition was so frequently manifested in our behalf....In war He directed the sword, and in peace, He has ruled in our councils." George Washington

Related to this article, I like to add in response to this article that appeared on WSJ:
"Banks Find Ways to Recoup Revenue Lost to New Rules"

How about Banks & Wall Street for a change NOT think that maximizing profits is the most important thing but helping their fellow country men is the most important thing, such as reduce Credit Card interest rates to AT THE MOST 200% over the Fed funds rate, which means reduce the typical Credit Card rate for an American person from 15%, AND MORE, down to about 4%.

Or how about wave late fees on Credit Card payments, after all you are already making criminal level interest rates on the balances.

And many other steps that you can take to help the society rather than maximizing your profits.

After all, it is the socialist system, from the $750-Bill TARP, to US Military, to Police & Fire Dept., that makes your profits, Multi-Million Dollar salaries, $50Mill Private Jets, etc, possible.

So stop demonizing "socialist system", such as Universal Nationalized Health Care (NHS), when your whole existent depends on it.

Excellent article. This article really does a great job of capturing the Con Job that Repubs have been playing.
On that note, take the example of American Air Line vs Air France, and the fact that AMR is reported to go bankrupt:
http://www.cnbc.com/id/44772255

So This is another example of (right amount) of Socialism, Government run, is far better than Big corporate owned, aka wall street owned. For look at for example Air France, it is an airline that is pretty much owned by French government and it unlike AMR:

1- Has barely ever laid off employees

2- Is not in danger of any bankruptcy

3- If you ever flown Air France vs American Air Line you would see that it has much nicer seats, service, etc. joy of flying compared to the flying AMR or most of the US so called Private (aka wall street) owned Airlines.

etc. positives that Air France is as socialized, Government, run service compared to the misery and failure that too often are US based Wall street owned companies because their mandate is too MAXIMIZE profits, thus MAXIMIZE expenses to the people, so as to pay MAXIMIZE dividends to Wall Street gang rather than run the best and most affordable service for the benefit of the customers and the employees.

And lets remind that US Military is a 100% socialized, Government, run service.

You know one of the amazing things thaqt Republican lunatics and the right-wing Media that they control says, is that:
"Socialisim never works..." or "Socialism only works until you run out of other people's money to squander..."
etc. psycho babble.
Beecause 1st operating a few key industries on Socialized basis, such as health care, universities and transportation does not make you Socialist, just as we already operate the Military, Fire dept, Police, etc. on Socialized basis does not make us Socialist.

2nd in fact countries that have so called Socialist Governments, such as Brazil, or China which is even more Socialist than Brazil, have much better economies than US, from MUCH LOWER Deficits than US to MUCH higher growth than US to Much lower Unemployment than US, here:

Which Countries are ultimate proof that by operating a sensible portion of economy on Socialized basis results in rest of the Capitalist economoy doing much better.

Very true what you said:
"Ask a Republican what "Socialism" is?"
And right there and then in their contradictory (thus lunatic) answer you will have them prove to themselves that they are lunatics, since "Socialism" according to them is GREAT since that is exactly how we operate the Military.
Set aside the fact that China operates half of their economy on "Socialism" basis and they are having huge surpluses vs huge deficits in US.

By Member: Reporter 2011-03-20

Exactly. So "Socialism..." is great when it suites the Republicans, that is given the fact that US Military is ultimate example of "Socialism..." since it is TOTALLY a Government run and paid organization, but when it comes to serving the American people, such as have Universal Nationalized health care which means operating the health care how we operate the Military, then "Socialism..." is bad. This Con Job would be so funny if it was not so sad that so many Americans actually have fallen for it! Or have they?

Man this article completely bangs on the head:
1- How clever Republicans are to have Coned American people with the word "Socialism Socialism.."
2- And how in fact "Socialism" is Key to better economies as we run the Fire dept., the Military, etc. on Socialism basis
