The liberal premise -- Capitalism is bad. Government is good

March 28 2010 at 10:41 AM

Cat, Deere, AT&T, and 3M "misled" the public about Obamacare costs.

Insurance companies are unseemly entities, caring only about profits.

Big pharma has been skewered by the press.

Bankers are "greedy, greedy, greedy".

Tobacco companies -- no need to go there.

In short, corporate America is the enemy, looting the unfortunate. In contrast, government is altruistic, always acting on behalf of the greater good.
Meanwhile, all the good done by capitalism and the companies that are an inherent part of it goes either unnoticed or unstated. And all the while, these companies and all of their employees generate the wealth that makes our country great -- and enables the government to fund its vast and growing entitlement programs.
