When our government spends our money to help us and protect us, bad things happen.
My question to you is, who are the winners and losers when the government attempts to control and regulate business production or trade?

bk, I clearly said I was a big fan of capitalism. At the start of this post I described my objection to name calling and personal attacks as a favorite tactic of fascists, especially 1930's German and Italian style. Perhaps you misread that as well.
It's really easy to say that you are opposed to being controlled by the 'big, bad government', but, for my third and final request, I would still like to hear you address the issues I raised: What is so negative about some of the major actions of the current Congress and administration? Most notably, consumer credit regulation, the Disclose Act, finance and banking regulation and securing the 20 billion escrow payment from BP?
