How Many Democrats Does It Take to Screw Up an Economy?

I found this story in the Odd News section of Yahoo, a site I often browse for content for Total Kaos.
It is about a Pole by the name of Jan Grzebski who regained consciousness after spending 19 years in a coma. An odd story to be sure, but one quote from Mr. Grzebski really caught my eye. I started thinking about Hillary and her hatred of an ownership, "on your own society".
Here is the quote:
When I went into a coma there was only tea and vinegar in the shops, meat was rationed and huge petrol queues were everywhere. Now I see people on the streets with cell phones and there are so many goods in the shops it makes my head spin.

Capitalism, what a concept.
Mrs. Clinton, you have a problem with the idea?
"I prefer a 'we're all in it together' society. I believe our government can once again work for all Americans. It can promote the great American tradition of opportunity for all and special privileges for none...There is no greater force for economic growth than free markets. But markets work best with rules that promote our values, protect our workers and give all people a chance to succeed. Fairness doesn't just happen. It requires the right government policies."
Hmm, "free markets" under government control? That’s not even Socialism, Mrs. Clinton, it’s economic Fascism. Funny where the politics of envy invariably lead.
