Statism vs. Capitalism

Would you rather live in a statist society or in a capitalist one?  Do you trust free enterprise to meet your needs or the nanny state?  Do you think Wal Mart is more concerned with your well-being, or Washington D.C.?
This is the nature of the political debate in the world today. 

• Politicians promise you free health care and write a law that will actually punish you for not providing yourself insurance that you don't want and can't afford.  Is that what you statists wanted?
• Bailouts are taking businesses that should fail and extending their failure far into the future, guaranteeing economic problems for 50 years or more.
• Every time Obama makes a speech about helping small business, he is either talking about handing out money to big banks, and telling them to lend more to small business, or he's cherry-picking one small business over another to bless with his contracts.  That's not helping.  That's cronyism.  If you have friends in high places then you get the goodies!
• The state used to just promise people stuff and never bother to explain where the money was going to come from.  But recently people have begun to ask.  Some, those firmly in the dependent class, don't know or care.  Just tell them they are "soaking the rich" and they are placated.  But others are realizing that the government can only pay for this stuff by raising taxes, printing money (causing inflation) and borrowing from China.
• Almost all the jobs being created by the administration are temp jobs (census workers, one-off construction jobs).  They don't have the revenue for this not to crash and crash hard.
• Recently in Atlanta (no not in the Soviet Union, Cuba, or Honduras) 30,000 people camped out to get vouchers for affordable housing.  62 were injured.  Can you say bread lines?  

When are you going to look at this type of poverty and realize that American statism is causing the end of our country?  You can't blame Bush for this one, this is Obama's baby.  You can't blame conservatism either, as no-one has tried it since Reagan.  The Bush'es were moderates at best.  You can't kid me. I mean, sacrificing free markets to save free markets?  Really? That's conservative? 
You need to stop looking at the state as the rich drunk uncle who buys everyone what they want.  He's broke now and needs to spend some time in the gutter.
In my perfect world, the massive layoffs would be in the government sector, as agency after agency is permanently closed to revitalize the economy.  As regulation after regulation is repealed to free up businesses to meet peoples needs.  You see, I trust Wal Mart to make me happy a lot more than I trust Washington.  Wal Mart needs my vote every time I run out of Windex.
