Elitist view or rational thing?

without regulations, those big businesses you hate so much (citigroup, AIG JPMoragn, Goldman Sachs) would have all gone out of business and filed bankruptcy. Regulations gave them billions of dollars of tax payer money to keep operating

Dude - did I ever once use the word "hate"?

Did I - even once - voice support for the stimulus? (Something Wall Street was more than happy to claim as their due (despite the reek of socialism born of a taxpayer bailout) with it's former Wall Street fat cat heading up the Congressional advisory.) If corporations truly operated according to the rules of their precious free-market, they'd have been left hanging bare-assed in the breeze (as deserved) for running themselves into the ground.

Aaaaand stick a fork in me, 'cause I've more than had my fill of this thread.
