Letter to the editor

Author: [no author name found]

Mr. Claypool's recent column on the rapid socialization of American society resonated deeply with me. Mr. Claypool is correct in asserting that Barack Obama is rapidly transforming our nation into a repressive authoritarian regime such as North Korea or Cuba. Free market capitalism is under attack, and with it, the very freedom that defines what it is to be an American. It is time we take back America from the omnipotent dictator His Majesty Barack Obama, and return to the unregulated, free-market capitalistic system that brought us to where we are today. We should increase those bonuses for AIG executives for their patriotic behavior! We should reward corporate "ambition" whenever possible! We shouldn't regulate, we should compensate! If we don't put American corporations back in the hands of their executives and rightful owners - whose ambition and innovation define the American dream and drive our economy and nation forward - we are doomed. Down with these greedy, socialist demons who are trying to capitalize on a minor downturn and are destroying our nation in the process!
