assignment 8 h. wilson

The title of this article is "It's not about socialism, it's about rescuing capitalism" and it was written by Harold Meyerson from the Washington Post. It was published on March 4, 2009.
This article was directed toward the audience of whom oppose socialism. It was directed this way because it was trying to get across that socialism isn't all that bad, it's just a different way to run things. And with the economy the way it is right now this country could definitely use a change. The article also talks about if Obama achieves all his changing goals for the country then there will be a more reliable capitalism and that will be helpful.
All in all this aritcle is trying to make the point that socialism has worked in the past and will work now. But personally right now im not interested in how we get out of a "slump" just that we do manage to get out.
