Article for Discussion: New Deal Corporatism

Resolved: That The US Government Bailouts Of Big Business Unjustly Punish Average Americans

Hey folks. Please check out these articles.

I think "free market" (more eloquently stated) and "economic liberty" might be potential values.

I'm not sure if we will cite these sites, but we can use them to build our arguments.

Please post comments for discussion.

Thanks.
