    Unregulated capitalism as practiced by the folks who once roamed the Eurasian plain looking for "Lebensraum"?

    Nawww! Don't think so. There are some of us who like to receive Communion with a clear conscience. There's a delicate societal balance between enterprise, self reliance, capitalism and social welfare, just as the body's neuronal system maintains an exquisitely delicate balance between stimulus and inhibition in motor movement. When the stimulatory neurons overwhelm the inhibitory neurons you have the disease called Parkinson's, the victim can't hold his hands steady enough to pick out the appropriate coins on the counter to make the correct change, all the while the victim is drooling uncontrollably all over the counter. The welfare side has overwhelmed the capitalist side of the economic system and you have the same disease running amok in the economy.

    One of the fastest growing economies on the planet is famous for its practice of unregulated capitalism, and has taken millions of jobs from the U.S. But it is doubtful the conservatives and neo-conservatives would be happy to live there. The righties do, however, defend the rights of Big Business to take advantage of that nation's corporate freedom, and they advocate for the U.S. subsides that help pay to move jobs and factories to this wonderful country, China.

    China has no regulations on business, or at least the "profit killing" regulations that the right-wingers complain hurt businesses here in the U.S. Those hurtful regulations like environmental laws, worker protection laws, consumer protection laws, or laws that permit labor unions.

    Yes, the conservatives and neo-conservatives long for the day when the U.S. gives Corporate America the freedom like that in China. They are convinced there will be prosperity for all.
