Or it's Republicans playing to racist and religious fears to keep the poor divided. It keeps them winning elections as well. Simple arguments are easy to make.

Got Mail Again - What say you all
What I say is you probably need to up the settings on your spam filter. Back during the CART vs. IRL Civil War, some IRL fans from the Speedvision forum would send me gay porn pictures from time to time. I found that the best way to keep things out of ones inbox, that are silly, hyperbolic and/or a complete waste of time, is to up those spam settings! That's how I deal with foolishness and "mail" problems anyway.

Capitalism does need regulation because as a system like any other system if left unregulated is subject to damage through unregulated greed.
Also, a lack of regulation caused the British Parliament expenses scandal and currently the "phone hacking" scandal within News International and presumably other newspapers.
All that the above proves is that there is in principle no difference between the corruption of government and the corruption of business, but for some reason you choose to deliberately ignore the corruption of business.
Human nature is such that "everyone from the lowliest peasant, to kings and princes are motivated by self-interest"; I personally don't see a distinction for that capacity to be negated either in government or private enterprise.The Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over.
