1. They're not capitalists; they're pirates.
And we're not communists; we're capitalists.

5. There's a link directly to it, with the author as the link text, and the OP is unedited....
There's nothing wrong with the OP.

8. My Cursor
missed the link. Sorry.

4. Thought about posting that. But for the shallow, the Rich article is sufficient rebuttal...
And I never feel like arguing with them.

14. I just unrec-ed it.
I'd hate to see the barometer for how well we are doing become the stock market. Anyone can give a trillion to rich banks and ins cos and car markers and get the market to go up. Creating and retaining quality jobs is a better measure.

15. It is really between capitalism vs socialism
Or as Rosa Luxemburg used to say, the choice is between barbarism or socialism. We always seem to choose barbarism.
