the reason our capitalistic system is in such bad shape is because of the socialistic elements - like bailing out people and companies who made poor, risky choices.. the corporate/wall street bailouts didn't start now.. it's been taking place in this country for a while already..
I don't doubt some people like the socialistic system.. it doesn't mean it's good, works or won't fail completely.. look at our most socialistic places in the country (CA, NY, etc..) - they are all bankrupt or nearly bankrupt.. the problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money..
