"The Republicans talk more about the market than about society, more about income than quality of life. They celebrate capitalism, which is a means, and are inarticulate about the good life, which is the end. They take things like tax cuts, which are tactics that are good in some circumstances, and elevate them to holy principle, to be pursued in all circumstances."
In the same way, we have said for years that if "It's a Wonderful Life," were remade today (by Fox studios instead of Liberty Films), George Bailey would be the socialist spouting villain and Henry Potter would be the hero, allowing capitalism to create a utopia.
According to IMDB, "In 1947, an FBI analyst submitted an addition to a memo on "Communist infiltration of the motion picture industry" that the film's "obvious" attempt to discredit bankers "is a common trick used by Communists."
