There is very little significant differences between Obama and Reagan economic models… This is nothing more than discursive construction of fake distinction between corporate control of the state and the economy under Reagan and corporate and control of the state and economy under Obama..

Capitalism hasn't been about small business for a long time, though it is still often about purchasing and/or crushing small business. The neoliberal capitalists holding the American economy hostage for bailout money today found a loving home with his cited hero Ronald Reagan, and I still don't understand how your average right-wing American can mention his name in a positive light while denouncing the billionaires running their lives. I'm surprised Glenn Beck didn't get cast for this "documentary," as a leading voice in discouraging useful discourse.

Socialism? With socialism who makes the decisions. Who makes the decisions of what the economy is supposed to be.

Capitalism here is not the criminal. The form of capitalism in the U.S now is not the Ayn Rand type of capitalism. From the early 1900s, in 2010 and 2011, 'crony capitalism' is the pervasive form of capitalism in the U.S.

Socialism is the dumbest people of society telling the intelligent people what they can do, that is the best case scenario. The worst case is the Chinese Communist Party where people are told by the elites what to do with their assets. The median cases is where socialism benefits the people. Getting it between the middle is the hard part.
