Private enterprise is full of its own faults
Posted on Nov 12, 2009 by Jeff Tecklenburg.
Opponents of a public option in health insurance reform scream “socialism.” Do they really think private enterprise is the solution?
Remember, it was private enterprise that gave us Enron, WorldCom, Bernie Madoff, the incompetence of GM and Chrysler, the corruption of Wall Street, big banks, and AIG. They destroyed our economy, yet Republicans still want to put our lives and health (and economic future) in the very hands of those who have already stolen billions from us? Are they serious?

You got that right, the Republican way of life. Steel from the poor and middle class,give to the wealthy. Their tax breaks are how we got here today. Give everything away,bring nothing in. They say,give tax breaks to the wealthy,they will create jobs. Bush give enough,tax breaks out during his term,8 Years of it. We now have what those tax breaks have brought us, in return, ( NO JOB <TANKED ECONOMY>) today. This economy today,is what Bush created. Those not understanding or being able to see this,is why we are here. Now they can see everything is wrong.
They should of started 7 years ago. Bush started with a surplus, and left us in debt.
