Neither.

I am sure Jesus was in favor of killing unborn babies, gay marriage, and stealing 50% of what people make.

An economics professor at Texas Tech said he had failed very few students but had, once, failed an entire class. That class had insisted that socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer. The professor then said, "Ok, we will have an experiment in this class on socialism."
"All grades will be averaged and everyone would receive the same grade meaning, obviously, no one will receive an A." They all agreed to this. After the first test the grades were averaged and everyone got a C. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy.
But, as the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too, so they studied little. The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around the average was an F.
The scores never increased as bickering, blame and name calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great dismay the professor failed them all. Then he sent all of them this note: "A socialistic government will also ultimately fail - because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed."

the problem is companies that were too big to fail.  It all boils down to that.  They knew the govt would bail them out.

GM gets bailed out tomorrow AM.  They knew it was coming, and there is no fear there.

Corporate Socialism is the worst form of socialism. Poorly run companies with oversight by corrupt and incompetent politicians stealing money from the tax payer to continue the largely fictional perpetuation of our economic system- The "Too Big Too Fail" Myth encourages big companies to cry poor to Uncle Sam, who then in turn pays them to stay in business. The housing and credit debacle that is currently happening to this country is just the beginning. When deadbeats know they're bullet proof and multi billion dollar corporations know that outside of some public shame there are no consequences to failure, what possible utility is accomplished by bailing them out? What incentive is there not to fail?

The shamelessly evil scumbags in Washington are using this opportunity to make the entire country hopelessly dependent on the government-- Politicians will have all the power, control all the money and will independently navigate where we go from here. Just like the first post that began this thread, we are all going to be F students and the government is going to be the Professor handing out the grades.

Scary, Scary stuff.
