They're Getting Worried
This is just so squicky. I hate everything about it, starting with the "It's us against the world" chestbeating, the "some say" strawperson, and the completely ridiculous assertion that "those some who say" don't get a (completely unexplained) "distinction" between AmeriCA and AmeriCANS. The quick throw-away: Washington may help in times of trouble, is the moment when the carnie's hand distracts you over here so you don't see him remove the coin from under the cup over there. Yeah, "Washington" -- aka all of us AmeriCANS -- have to bail you "free enterprisers" out every time you steal too much and the till gets empty. And that's why we AmeriCANS are going to regulate you.
What a bunch of overwrought hooey. But at least it shows they're scared.

This spot is utterly stupid. Clearly there is no concern for reason here, it's aimed squarely at the emotions. By the way, now might be the time to point out the distinction they DON'T make: The one netween "Free Enterprise" and Capitalism. They are not one and the same, and these people are Capitalists, not Free Enterprise practitioners.
...and the standard apoplgy for typos applies...
Let's not forget those overpaid corporations who dumped their homeside factories and offices and shuffled off overseas -- leaving a wake of bewildered hardworking Americans behind -- without jobs and without benefits. Mind you -- in this global economy -- everytime there is a crisis ANYWHERE -- Americans are expected to pony up their cash and help out. Meanwhile many of those nations have lots of bloated billionaires that could pay for their own people's crisis. Sorry -- I have heard a little girl whisper that she was "thrilled" to finally get her own toothbrush -- and underwear. (I was in a group doing local charity work here) Thats the kind of poverty that lives right here -- and around the corner! Glad to know that "Family First" is the policy.
