Sniper, the point was that the government has shown a willingness or more likely a plan to nationalize certain industries. Through TARP, the US government OWNS many US banks. They own GM and Chrysler (or soon will once their BK plan is accepted, forced on the car co's because the gov owns the banks). They are attempting to nationalize the health care industry. Why do you think they are high on the list? I think we are inline to be taken over.
