with the use of propaganda (used to divide the population, create imagined enemies, and elevate the wealthy rulers to a revered status), hired government thugs (often posing as rebels), a well funded military whose leaders are granted a high level of privilege, and re-education programs (that promote patriotic values of country, work ethic, and a hatred for anyone who advocates change),

Wow, you just described the current administration!

“It really seems like Romney just doesn’t care about our veterans community,” said Rob Diamond, the Obama campaign’s outreach director for veterans and military families, in a conference call with reporters

"Tehran must understand that it cannot escape or evade the choice before it. Meet your international obligations or face the consequences."

It was George W. Bush without the aircraft carrier: stealthy, dramatic, and something of a stunt.
With his surprise visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday, President Obama seized a burgeoning debate about whether he was exploiting the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s demise and injecting a huge dose of steroids.

He has also signed 18 tax cuts for small businesses and extended the payroll tax cut for all American workers and their families, putting an extra $1,000 in the typical middle-class family’s pocket.

That's why President Obama proposed the Buffett Rule, asking millionaires and billionaires to do their fair share. But if you're one of the 98 percent of American families who make under $250,000 a year, your taxes won’t go up.


The President has asked Congress to take action to reform our tax code and close tax loopholes for millionaires and billionaires, as well as hedge fund managers, private jet owners, and oil companies.

the budget is more of a list of priorities

Where everyone gets their fair shot and everyone does their fair share and everyone plays by the same rules.

Doing the same thing will have a different result...

I personally think that socialism and all that it leads to, will eventually be seen by any responsible person, as the bane of humanity.

The current administration has done nothing but talk. No budgets have been presented only complaints at the republican budgets.

They protest too damn much while gorging most of the "socialist" pie.

This is why its a problem. It isn't because people are mean and uncaring. It is because governments SUCK and steal then blame the people for it.

Agreed. That's why they hate socialism...they can't stand the concept of "insurance".

I suppose you are aware that you are just taking my conclusions and twisting the words to make it seem like you were right when you actually haven't contributed anything.

:) Haven't seen you here for awhile. Hope your doing well.

We have to stop looking at any gov't for answers, they are just planted P.R. Their only agenda is to make us continue working for the elites, we waste our time, our health and our sanity trying to make plans or even sense of it all.

I think the only way is to stop recognizing any of their rules, stop valuing their shit and start taking responsibility for ourselves and our planet and totally ignore these guys and their money and their game.

A true example of "self regulating" capitalism, would be if someone sold poisonous food; people got sick and died from it; the poisonous nature of the food became well known; and people stopped buying the food; so the seller stops offering it. Great. So, the people who promote "pure self-regulating capitalism" want everyone to accept regular deaths of children and relatives, as a normal part of going through life.

The problem isn't "capitalism." The problem is that Wall St. has become a greedy parasite
on the economy, and no longer helps productivity. Wall St. only cares about short term profits.

Will Capitalism Fail?

Just because something is legal, does not make it ethical nor does it mean it will support the system in which it thrives.

Will Capitalism eventually destroy itself through greed?
