A Vote for Romney is a Vote for Socialism (Humor)

Just a recent cover from the National Review, alongside a disturbingly similar cover from a bygone time.

(I am well aware that Romney does not espouse Socialism; this is merely humor)

Dialectically speaking, this probably isn't far wrong.

4 years under Romney is probably just the wake up call the American people need from their right wing dream.

Crony Capitalism is a form of socialism where losses are socialized and profits are privatized.

They pulled the wool over your eyes. 90% of capitalism is crony capitalism. Always has been, always will be. A few come in first and invent something new or bring a revolutionary technology to the masses. Then the rest follow at their heals chasing the paper and devising more and more clever schemes to game the system. The previous generation of innovators ultimately give birth to entitled douchebags who spend their entire career rent seeking, shutting down competition, and trying to get out of paying any taxes.

Crony capitalists also like take government bailout money after they crash the economy and then point the finger of blame on government. Clever fellows they are. Whenever the heat starts to built it's... Quick, change the subject! It's not about us anymore! It's the poor n***** and their "culture of dependency" that's a drag on this economy! We have to cut them off before they drown us all in debt! They have lots of obedient little repuglicans groveling before their holiness and praising trickle down economics.

Crony Capitalism is nothing but capitalism. Crony Capitalism is based on voluntary exchange of services for profit, which is exactly what capitalism promotes.

The Crony part is getting the government to back a player and for the government to loot taxpayers for the benefit of the player. Real capitalism (which has never fully exist) is a disjunction between the state and business. The only proper part the government has to play in business is to provide courts to resolve contract disputes and to punish fraud and counterfeiting. The most government should do is keep business dealings honest and above board.

Looting is part of the nature of capitalism. Private land ownership is theft. The boss gets to decide what to do with the wealth the workers create, like how the government decides what to do with our taxes. Atleast the government is somewhat democratic. You can't say the same about corporations. Private property is violence and theft.

Business is about dishonesty.

The real problem is that government isn't accountable to the people like it should be. Government action that ultimately protected the livelihood of workers gets derided as crony capitalism while the real crony capitalists turn up the volume of the right-wing propaganda machine. Too bad the plutocrats blew their cover at a Romney fundraiser. Now only the bitter crotchety mouth-breathing scrooges who drool to the sound of idiot Rush Limbaugh spewing forth vileness out of his gigantic bulbous fat-smothered orb will vote for their man.
