In this United States of America, you think of banking and mortgage houses and brokerage firms as citadels of capitalism. So guess what happens when the going gets rough.
SOCIALISM.
They call in Karl Marx and the government bail-out crew to save them.
The free market would work, if we'd only try it sometime. The wise investors would win fortunes and the reckless ones would lose their shirts, at least. That would be free enterprise. But Americans who boast about it the most apparently don't really believe in it.
No wonder the poor people in this country don't want to pay taxes.
The government didn't bail out the small hardware stores and drug stores when Wal-Mart (subsidized by sweetheart deals with municipalities) came to town and used predatory pricing procedures to erase them.
No one rushed in to help mom and pop in the corner grocery stores when they were eaten alive by Krogers, Albertsons and Safeway.
The monster federal government isn't interested in you if you're small. I know a man who had seven employees and was turned down for a loan by the Small Business Administration. They told him, "Your business is too small."
It's all so simple.
Thoughts While Sharpening My Pitchfork
We're going to wait 'til the midnight hour. You know the signal. When you receiveth it, goeth to the warehouse, and lock and load. The key is under the mat. Giveth them a chance to surrender.
Overheard At Frenchy's
