Because most people have an "idea" of what there ideas are, but then when you present them with evidence of what that idea actually stands for based on its historical formation and its actual definition, they will ignore you because it disagrees with their "idea" about what their ideas are.
Technically, giving corporations any help at all, whether it be giving them money or unreasonably favorable legislation, is starkly anti-capitalistic, because it interferes with the free market. But you wouldn't hear a proponent of "capitalism" say that. Their idea of capitalism is that business comes first, even if it creates artificial and unnatural balances in the market.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
