Capitalism, Socialism, Fascism. Don't look now, but....

Let's clear up our thinking when throwing out terms like capitalism, socialism, and fascism.

Capitalism:  When you make money, you get to keep it.  When you lose money, you're on the hook and suffer the consequences.

Socialism:  When you make money, it's taxed to cover the needs of others who don't make money, or who lost their money.

Fascism:  If you have enough power, when you make money you get to keep it, and when you lose money the tax payers bail you out, and you get to take their money and do it again.

Just watch what happens when JP Morgan starts sinking.  Don't look now, but the 2008 bailouts were just a dress rehearsal.  THEY have every reason to believe we won't mind getting fleeced and f@*#!d even harder this time.
