Strolling Towards Socialism

By Abdul Hakim-Shabazz

Some food for thought…

The federal government is bailing out Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

The federal government may bail out the Big Three automakers next year.

The federal government already bailed out Bear Stearns.

There’s a good chance the airlines will ask for a bail out.

With all these bailouts of all these industries, why don’t we just go ahead and declare ourselves a socialist country and get it over with right now.

And I also have to laugh that if you as individual asked for a bailout, you would be told to go pull yourself by your bootstraps.  If you own a mutli-billion dollar corporation and made bad business decisions, the mice will beat a path to your door.
