Isn't this 700 billion dollar bail out the biggest redistribution of wealth in history except going in the opposite direction with the government taxing you to bail out the banks and corporations.
It strikes me as the biggest socialist republican move ever, and I don't get why don't dumb ass republicans don't mind getting it up the ass in that redistribution as long as we keep the words "Capitalism" and "Free Enterprise" around, although it makes me kind of question the meaning to those words.

The bail our is not socialist. Socialism would involve nationalizing the banks, putting bad CEOs in jail, and nationalizing the profits. Government being beholden to banks, corporations and CEOs is not called socialism. If you look in history you'll find that the more appropriate term for that kind of thing is fascism.
