    They are also the benefactors of the government largesse. Of course they love to tax you, it ends up as transfer payments to them

    The majority of those voting for it intend on being the recipients.
    The elite, who are by far the minority are benefactors of government privilege and make fortunes via the largesse of the congress and government contracts.

    And you actively support the transferring trillion$ to the failed banks of the finance sector cuz it saved your malinvestments. You have your hand out to big mommy government like those you accuse of being liberal

    avoiding a depression to preserve capitalism makes sense to all, I'm afraid. Sorry to rock your world.

    Milton Friedman was perhaps best know and most successful capitalist advocate in human history and he believed in central govt stopping needless depressions to avoid untolled misery and to preserve capitalism. Absurd that you imagine yourself to be the arbiter of who capitalists really are.

    sure it is if you have more capitalism in the end by doing it than by not doing it. Too complicated for you?
