Le sigh. Ask not what your country can do for you, ask instead what you can do for your country.
It is not the "country's" job to take care of anyone. Not even sure what she means by country, I am guessing she means government. But then that would be awkward when she turns around and asks for more government.
The economy failing is a socialist issue. If we hadnt been bailing out people these companies would be in a stronger position. If the corporations didnt depend on government regulations to limit competition, we would be in a better place. If we didnt have a government and society that put PC crap in front of performance we wouldnt be as bad.
Capitalism DOESNT ensure anything. If anything capitalism ensures that there will be down turns, and that we should accept that and be prepared. Socialism is the lie that says you never have to deal with reality and tells you you are wrong to prepare for it by "being greedy".
The last paragraph rings pretty true, I would bet though that we disagree on who the privileged few are. For me it starts with the 435+100+1.
