Take out the risk, capitalism no longer exists.
The GOP has taken the risk out of business and investment.

Shoot the moon. Go for it. Ignore the risk...because the U.S. Government will cover your ass.

Imagine yourself at a roulette wheel, knowing that no matter what you bet, there was a back-up. Someone had already guaranteed your bets.

Getting it now?

There is no more "capitalism." It's done, at least in America. It's all be socialized. State-owned.

Thank you, George Bush.

1. No not all business capitalist muckity mucks are covered. (Just the "in-crowd")
Wells Fargo found out that it is less important to our government than Citibank, as its planned (and monetarily justified) takeover of Wachovia was not approved by the feds, but went to Citibank instead.
