... you are suggesting those who plunder citizens hard earned savings, retirement plans, and who foreclosed on millions of peoples homes are a more benign choice? That is third way?

Happy people, secure in their homes filled with their own earned posessions are far more likely to creatively solve the problems caused by the greedy coal, oil, and gas bosses than people who have had everyting conned from them by crooked bankers, traders, hedge-funders who have paid off crooked politicians to keep the game rigged against the voting populace...

Of course that's just my opinion.
