People are inherently stupid

I could not avoid to comment about a post that I saw in Ali's blog, which points out the inconsistent view that some people have about economic policy. I think that time and time again this problem keeps pointing back at the fact that double standards are widely use to keep down and sabotage any type of progress directed to the general public. The fact that we call it bail out when is about corporations and socialism when is about normal day to day people, only adds to the long lasting fight to keep capitalism alive in a way that benefits certain people and NOT ALL THE SOCIETY! Yeah all the technological benefits of capitalism are great, but who is there to ask if it is worth it to come up with all this new goods every year at the expense of inflating the pace of economic growth and thus accelerating human decay by damaging the natural resources in irreversible ways?(maybe that last sentence is the biggest run on ever)... as Ron White would joke about "you can't fix stupid" and I think we all are for believing that capitalism and free markets would always be better than having some sort of control.
