| Under the Bush administration, we're witnessing radical free-market capitalism. |

Free-market capitalist policies always favor corporations over workers, and Bush takes that ideology to its logical extreme; he simply takes money from workers and gives it to corporations.
He's about to do it again in a very big way, and sadly, no one is going to stop him.
Why not give democratic socialism a chance? I don't understand the free-market fetish that even some "liberals" hold.

| 2. That works too, but "radical" reminds people that this is the logical extreme of... |
|
... the "free-market" that libertarians/fascists worship.

| 3. Not really, this is socialism. |

I'd be careful what you wish for, you've already had it.

| 4. I respectfully disagree; the current climate is anti-worker, thus "free-market". |
