the quote is real and if she were as far left as most opponents see her, she would have been acting against her own self-interest by speaking so fervently in favor of keeping our Capitalist system...not likely. Furthermore, as the article relates she worked hard to deregulate the market for hearing aids...a very capitalist thing for her to do.
With that said, I posted her quote because the substance of it (free market cheating) strikes me as a fatal flaw in what would otherwise be an economic system that everyone could rally around. To the extent that the capitalist side of the spectrum refuses to acknowledge cheating, the socialist side will voice their displeasure - and votes.
