Wil: I have a great understanding of the free market, but thanks for the article anyway.

Yes, Obama has some rich donors. There’s a big difference between having some wealthy donors and “elitism”, especially the way the term is being thrown around here. And to say that Obama is getting more donations of this type than McCain will ever see in his lifetime is an exaggeration. Wasn’t the swift boat ad campaign funded entirely by two or three wealthy donors? Clearly, there are rich people on both sides.

In *theory*, the market can self-regulate. In *theory* communism could work without becoming a dictatorship that ruins societies. A lot of things would work in theory, but not in practice. Individual greed is going to ruin things periodically, as we have just seen.

Here’s a question: Do any of the middle class people who regularly visit PJMedia think the economy is working for them? I’m seriously asking this, because from my end, it’s not working for me. Nor is it for my friends. I’d appreciate any feedback on this, because I really want to know.
