I think many of us have been drawing the conclusion that the simple capitalistic idea (that for years seemed to be the correct ideology for national prosperity), has been perverted as corporations and banks became bigger and more powerful. As their power increased, their influence over our elected representatives became insurmountable. So now we have a dilemma whereas not only are most congressmen in the corporation's back pocket, but the stranglehold of the corporations and banks are so insidious and widespread that their failure would do catastrophic damage to the world economy. What is happening is less about "socialism" and has more to do with these big companies cashing in on a shadow insurance policy written up by the complacency, and worst tendencies of congress, the administration, the courts and even the lazy media.
