    "It seems extraordinarily odd that a Gillard supporter would be a broker, trader or investor rather than a social worker, public servant, or welfare recipient. How can you be a good socialist yet love the markets?"

    Turning that very dumb question around, what's the difference between the Coalition and ALP as far as capitalism is concerned?

    Similarities

    * ALP and Coalition support welfare, pension

    * ALP and Coalition support progressive tax system

    * Coalition supports market intervention e.g. bank pillars, baby bonus, first home owners scheme, maternity leave

    * ALP supports market based carbon reduction

    * Coalition supports non-market based carbon reduction
