Even before this fall's deluge of catastrophic collapses , from the implosions of AIG and Lehman Bros. to exposure of Bernard Madoff's $50-billion Ponzi scheme, polls found Americans increasingly restrained in their enthusiasm for business in general. In an April 2008 survey, roughly half (47 percent) viewed corporations favorably, while nearly as many had a negative opinion (45 percent). Although support for government regulation of business hasn't risen, 50 percent of Americans think it is necessary to protect the public interest, compared with 38 percent who say that regulation usually does more harm than good. In fact, not only do more Americans worry that businesses are snooping into their personal lives (74 percent), than think government is doing so (58 percent), fully six-in-ten think that business makes too much profit, and an overwhelming 78 percent think there is too much power in the hands of large companies.

What's more, while Americans are loyal defenders of the free market, it just better be their free market. Approval of free trade fell in several Western countries from 2002 to 2007, but the largest decline among the 35 countries for which comparative data are available took place in the United States. In fact, the country with the world's largest economy is the least likely among the 47 nations surveyed in 2007 to embrace global trade. (So no surprise that despite the warnings of economists about the dangers of inserting "Buy American" provisions into the stimulus package, two-thirds of Americans thought it was a good idea.)

... americans tend to dislike the world "socialism" ...
... mainly because of its european meaning ...
... of social secuirity justice and universal medical system ...
... but in reality america is a socialism, just of a different nature ...
... the US is a a oil industry and banking cartel socialism to be exact ...
... in the meaning that people get stripped of any right they may have ...
... in order to socialize the losses and provide the profits ...
... to this cartels that in fact run a parallel government ...
... and collect votes out of national and religious fanatism ...

... a figure that may show what america is, would be a robin hood in reverse ...
... or maybe to use the espression of the churches, the anti - christ ...
... that robs the poor and the population at large ...
... to increase the profits of wall street and the banks cartel ...
