When you're so unbelievably wealthy that the only thing left to buy is a government, what would you call that? What would you call the lobbying cartel in Washington, Jake . . . a good will mission? This isn't some silly idea, it's REALITY . .. one which you refuse to accept because it doesn't fit in YOUR narrative.

Free Market ideology needs to be smeared because it's nothing but a scam. Tax monies having to bail out whiskey-throttle financial follies and bubbles when they eventually fail automatically disqualifies this mess as a "free market". It's a Plutonomy. We're already being governed by the wealthy for the wealthy and your hard-right Reaganite economic policies are fully on board with that. You people aren't about fairness or egalitarianism at all and your shite tax-free economics is killing this country beyond it's ability to repair itself.

Highly reccomended and bookmarked for further use. Thank you. chknltl Jul 2012 #1
