Yeah, damn pinkos! Actually, I'm pretty capitalist, but what we have now is an entire political party arguing for unfettered capitalism (actually more like unfettered for their campaign contributors) in the wake of one of the greatest market failures in history, supported by all sorts of bullshit revisionist history and "research" using Schlafly statistics being cranked out by "think tanks." Now we have CEI and Cato approved versions of history where the robber barons were great heroes, the labor wars never happened (unions, what unions?), FDR was a commie and the New Deal was the biggest policy failure of the 20th century. Yes, keep shoving any failure of capitalism down the memory hole. I'm waiting for the day when one of these think tanks proposes privatizing air. It always reminds me of this Tom Tomorrow cartoon.
