"And "the market" has finally attained what it has wanted for a long time: complete control of the government."

"Since then "the market" has been in the driver's seat and the working class just indentured slaves "

Bobert .... you make statements such as those and then you previously declared the US is a socialist state.

In a Capitalist economic system the market (means of production, money/captial) is controlled by private business and let's face it these days private business are $Big$ corporations. I agree, in the U.S. these corporations have the government serving them (definately not the people). The profits flow up to the shareholders and a little, little bit trickles down to the workers, the indentured slaves as you say. Under capitalism everyone works for their own wealth and you can say their own welfare.

In a Socialist economic system the market (means of production money/capital) is controlled or owned by the government were everyone works for wealth that is in turn distributed by the government to the workers. You get the drift. I certainly would not believe that Obama would go for that.

Just because the government controls the post office, controls road repairs, fire and police departments airports and ensuring trains run on time does not constitute the country being 'socialist'. You btw mention education .... in a socialist state university education would be free .... you certainly don't see that in the U.S.

Socialist countries ... there a very few and have been very few ... man's obsession with greed and lust for power probably has been to blame for that.
