Re: My New Favorite Columnist
Both candidates supported a massive transfer of wealth from the middle class to wealthy financial elites in the form of the Wall Street bailout — pardon me, the “rescue plan.” McCain also wants to fix prices in the housing market via a massive mortgage buyout plan. Under this scheme, too, it seems that the banks will make out pretty well. I imagine Obama would do something similar.
All this tells us that both candidates support socialism for capitalists. Or you could call it crony capitalism. How is that different from what we’ve got now?
Obama isn’t any more likely to “destroy the country” than Clinton was. And the Republican party could use a time-out in the corner to think about what they’ve done.
