    100% perfect liberal lie of course. That number does not include $70,000 in welfare entitlements precisely given so people won't be poor. A family of 4 for example would have $60,000 in free education and healthcare alone!!!!

    And if they didn't get their investment back, they went bankrupt. And they lost their equity to their creditors, and the creditors become the new owners. This is how bankruptcy works under Republican capitalism. How would this shut down the world's economy?

    He wants his welfare, to bail him out of his losses, then to be left alone by Government when it's over, and call it capitalism

    Sounds like lib-socialism.

    How a capitalist can support the federal reserve bank and Dodd-Frank is beyond me.

    He wants government to subsidize his wins and save him from his losses, then cry about poor people getting welfare

    You brought it up. Certainly a good idea to ditch it, given it's inconsistency with right wing argument.
