Moshwitz, I think there's an opening for you as a financial industry CEO. :ROTF:

Lol we have our brand of socialism all backwards. Nationalize something that makes $$$ and you can cut everyone's taxes, like say oil and natural gas ( I feel like I'm walking on thin, pink colored ice, but fuggit - I'm sick of the shaft. )

Or we can keep covering the asses of the failed greedy so they can try, try again.

Socialism is not about nationalizing the losses and privatizing the bonus....

Wouldn't nationalizing everything be fascism, and not socialism?

No, Fascism and Capitalism got along a lot. Nationalizing everything is communism, and they even weren't able to nationalize EVERYTHING, for instance, any soviet citizien was granted a certain amount of square meters, I think 22, for his own use, by Constitution.Same thing for the farmers that had small field and they were allowed to sell the goods outside the Kolkhotz....

Anyway, the point is that in this case now we have private companies that are breaking down that receive money from the State, while when they're in active, they keep the money for their own, that's now fair, expecially because we are dealing with big companies badly managed, if you have a small business and you fail, the government doesn't help you.

Communism - everything's owned by the people
Fascism - everything's owned by the state

I guess it all depends on if you think the government is the people or the state.

Mmm, no, it's not like that! Actually Fascism was fueled by private enterprises who feared the Communism, and in Germany all the big industries like Mercedes Benz, Krupp, Messerschmidt etc..etc... actively sided with Hitler.

Were their properties nationalized?Of course no!

Actually if they did the whole $700 Billion among the hypothetical 200 Milion people, everyone would get $3500.

Assuming 33% tax, everyone takes home $2345.

$1155 x 200 Million = $231,000,000,000 in taxes collected, thus the bailout only costs $469 Billion, and I can order another Custom Shop Jackson

Maybe you can make a down payment on a CS Jackson!
