...when the economy crashed and the government had to bail out all those Wall Street banks and businesses that were "too big to fail."

Back then they just shrugged and chanted "We're all Socialists now. Ha ha!"

But now when liberals talk about health care for all or a few regulations to keep billionaires and corporations from grabbing up the entire pie, THEN they begin whining that "the Dems will turn America into VENEZUELA!!!"

The hypocrites want socialism for the rich and Laissez faire capitalism for the rest of us.
