Or socialism is a fine and dandy thing as long as the people who benefit are the people who can afford to get other people to pay for their bailouts.
Ouyangdan and I were having this conversation the other day. It seems to us like rich people really are socialists at heart when it comes to say bailing out the banking industry (cough*freddie mac fannie mae*) but when it comes to the small individuals who are losing their houses by the thousands, they can’t be assed to do a damn thing about it. Oh wait, yes they can. they complain about those greedy bottom feeders trying to get the American dream.
