This is why a government Of The People, By the People and For the People isn't compatible with pure capitalism. And if you think of our forefathers' definition, it does sound rather socialist doesn't it? They knew the marriage between socialism and capitalism was essential for our nation's wellbeing. And so we've seen that negative fruition played out recently.
And if you had actually paid attention during your Civics classes, you would know exactly what they meant by "of the people, by the people, and for the people", and you'd know that it had NOTHING to do with "socialism". In fact, the founders were against anything that we would call "socialism", because they realized that it is NOT the governments place to take care of any individual, or group of individuals, but rather it's the place of the public, by their own choice, to care for their friends and neighbors.
This is your biggest problem, you see some nutball, halfbaked conspircy theory, and rather than investigating it to see if there's any validity to it first, you just automatically jump all over it like a starving dog on a T-Bone steak.
