All factories will now be run by worker's committees, and billionaires are to be shot. Mere millionaires will be sent to gulags.

Are you sure it's not simply socialising losses and privatising profits?
Rationalia relies on voluntary donations. There is no obligation of course, but if you value this place and want to see it continue please consider making a small donation towards the forum's running costs.

I'm sure that many have taken their profits, and they are sitting safely in offshore tax havens.

Still the US taxpayers will end up owning, through the State, loss making Airlines and other businesses.

The 'Walsh Question' 'What Is A Woman?' I'll put an answer here when someone posts one that is clear and comprehensible, by apostates to the Faith.

If the bank-bailout is any guide then the only thing the US taxpayers will end up owning are the debts on the loans taken out by the state to maintain profitability, dividends, and shareholder confidence of private companies. The Bill has, after all, given more money to business than to hospitals.

Makes more sense than just giving the assholes money.

We probably need a government supported carrier, though. Everybody else has one.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
