When they have to rely on tax dollars to stay alive, it was clearly socialism. Capitalists using the state to bail themselves out isn't socialism, it's just plain old capitalism.

People should have gone to jail though. The fact that didn't happen is the biggest tragedy of all. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all relative of course but for a cattle, livestock and grain operation in bum fuck nowhere run only by a husband and wife, they are a good sized operation. 15 trucks on the road for many years. They could have easily expanded it more but they never had the desire to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
