Next up, wages

It's news that Wal-Mart or any other employer would like for the government to pick up part of its labor costs? Heck, they'd like the taxpayer to pick up the whole tab. Socialize those wages! And if the workers turn out for some reason not to work as well, we could return to that successful 19th Century policy of having the government shoot them.

Just don't socialize the profits. Those are sacrosanct. We could, however, talk about losses . . .
