    yawn, squawk-more government good, squawk,more freedom bad, squawk capitalism unfair

    it gets old. as I have noted many times-the mere fact that you exist does not create a just claim upon my time, wisdom, effort or property

    There has been no deregulation. Corporations are highly regulated. The recession was due to the housing crisis because the dems insisted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac approve home loans for those who could not really afford to pay for them! Subprime lending!

    excellent point. The corporations would have never have given loans to under qualified or unqualified applicants and there would have been far less defaults. Government screwing things up by violating economic reality

    Maybe those who collect welfare should not be able to vote while they are collecting?

    How did you mean that liberals are angry at all people who work? By the way, the vast majority of workers aren't rich.

    I know that, but I also know socialists don't like it when people choose how to spend the money they've earned.
    They get angry about it.

    The financial industry is highly regulated for a reason and whenever those regulation are removed, as in the examples provided, the Wall Street Casino Bosses take full advantage to exploit them for their personal gain.

    Giving away land is SOCIALISM! It was the GOVERNMENT that stole that land from the owners and gave it away to the Colonials. To allege that isn't socialism is disingenuous.

    Those same Founding Fathers implemented government SOCIALISED HEALTHCARE with Single Payer using taxes collected from hardworking sailors.

    That you have nothing but a false equivalence that ignores the actual welfare that was enacted by the Founding Fathers says volumes.

    The regulated banks were NOT giving mortgage loans to unqualified buyers!

    The DEREGULATED Wall Street Casino corporations were under no obligation to ensure that applicants were qualified for mortgages. So they were the ones making the PREDATORY SUBPRIME LOANS. The Wall Street Casino Bosses then bundled up their subprime loans with regular mortgages and sold them off under false pretenses!

    It was the GOP who DEREGULATED the Wall Street Casino and allowed them to pull off that Ponzi scam.

    Maybe those who don't understand what welfare is all about should not be able to vote until they learn what voting rights mean?

    Ironic given that it was the GOP's deregulations that caused the economy to turn to poop!

    Except in the cases you cited the regulations were not removed. Those industries were and continue to be regulated. So your claim that those crises came about because of deregulation are bunk.

    You are entitled to your misinformed opinion but the repeal of Glass-Steagall was de facto DEREGULATION of the Wall Street Casino!

    Your grasp of financial deregulation leaves a lot to be desired! The GOP House just passed ANOTHER deregulation bill!

    In our harbor stands the Statue of Liberty. Not the Statue of Equality. Is that so hard to grasp?

    Socialism is only for the Godless who make government into a god. They always get their just desserts in the end.

    @ChrisL said this:
    You cited S&Ls, mortgage brokers, and investment banks as examples of unregulated capitalism. However, the fact is that all three of these have always be regulated.

    Would you like to try again?
