Yet these corporations are allowed to benefit from socialism while middle class people have to live by the rules of the free market. Maybe it's because some of these questionable corporations donate so much money to politicians which is the concept that Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations warned against.

The things is that it's not just the corporations and their rich board members who suffer when these big companies fail. The damage hits the workforce and ruins middle class investments. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a big fan of this corporate socialism that we've concocted as a solution. The companies that have collapsed need to take their hits and we need to use that $700 billion to help the people who have lost their retirement investments and are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. The middle class can't survive this type of economic environment.

Remember, Robin Hood was no socialist -- he was an anti-government militia organizer.

Now you're just getting into semantics.

"We will starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place until there is no refuge or no rest.

And we will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists.

From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime. Our nation has been put on notice, we're not immune from attack. We will take defensive measures against terrorism to protect Americans

Sad to see an American President so blatantly lie.

I can think of no harsher, despotic, evil, terrorist nation than North Korea, yet, our President just removed them from the "terrorist nation" list...

What a joke! Wake up to a sense of your awful situation, before it is to late.
