The American free market principle, the American people’s culture of credit, and the nation’s hypercapitalism all did the country in. The country that prides itself with being a democracy ruled by the majority for the majority has become a completely government-controlled country. The truth has set in: the ordinary American is dominated by his government, and he allowed it to happen because he trusted his government too much. He failed to always remember that government means only a handful of men. In his suave, sophisticated, and contemporary thinking, he thought conspiracies are merely conspiracy theories. What he didn’t know was that life was starting to be just like in the movies.

The ordinary American is learning his lesson too late. The world starts to doubt America – too late. The US bailout plan is proof that hypercapitalism can very well be a thing of the past. Hypercapitalism has led to greed and manipulations of people who earn a fast buck with only their ability to talk a deal. The proverbial stone did turn and gathered precious moss along the way. Free-market democracy is soon closing shop, and the US is well underway to socialism. Now, the government owns much of private sector industry and banking institutions. The state now owns a lot. This turn to socialism, though met with shut eyes and ears by people in denial, is as palpable as it gets. And the American people made this happen by their sheer faith in capitalism, the free-market principle, and democracy. They failed to see that a free market does not rein in greed. Greed is the bastard child of democracy.

People start to believe anything in times of confusion when questions far outnumber answers. When stuck in dire straits, one of the things that people start to see is the conspiracy behind the conspiracy theory. Obama has been touted to be a socialist. The bailout has now tripled in cost. Taxpayers will now shoulder more. The free market is dying. The government now owns more. Obama is the new incoming president of a failed economic democracy. The Federal Reserve has become more powerful. Conspiracy theory, anyone?
