I want you guys to think about this...If the government owns the free market, it owns you. Its not a joke, or even remotely funny. The U.S. government will now control much of Wall Street, and most of of the housing market.

National Socialism anyone? Thats EXACTLY what this is.

And, where the fuck are we going to get this money? Borrowing from China? or Iraq?

THIS HAS GOT TO STOP

Indeed.

Although I don't agree with a lot of ISIL's other goings on, this flyer sums it up well.
http://www.isil.org/resources/lit/end-tax-slavery.html

Which ties in quite well with the thoughts of L. Neil Smith on the subject, concerning the idea of how that ties into another issue.
http://www.jpfo.org/smith/smith-herefords.htm

"There are a great many individuals today, both in government and in the think-tanks and foundations that constitute their intellectual bodyguard, who look down on you and me and our families as livestock. The only thing they want from us is silent, compliant labor, so that they can take whatever we earn away from us and use it as they desire. Some of it they use against us in various ways to keep us silent and compliant.

Listen to them closely and you'll hear that we might as well be different species. They are an elite -- near demigods who are above everything, including the law. We are less than nothing, of no concern to them except for the tasks we perform and the wealth we create for them to steal. If some of us can play the violin, create beautiful paintings or sculptures, or bring audiences to tears with our singing or acting, those are just "stupid pet tricks" without real value or significance."


Isn't it funny how folks all so willing to stand up and fight back when others speak of confiscating their weapons, are so unwilling to stand up and fight back when others speak of confiscating their money ?

I think it's high time we applied the same damn principle behind our weapons, to our wallets.

MOLON LABE !
(Means: Come and TAKE it/them from me, for thems not familiar with the term.)

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

Bush is far right wing.

The Nazi's were far right wing.

You need to stop fixating on Bush. It’s like you have some sort of repressed gay-love for him.

First this is not national socialism – making retarded statements like that does nothing but bring out the lunatic-fringe. Now you're going to have idiots pull the stupid Hitler comparison – oh, too late.

I haven’t looked at Bush’s bailout plane, but my initial judgment is that I’m not real psyched about it. I don’t think we want to reward bad investors or create an institution of speculating against the government or unnecessarily widen government intrusion. Which is kind of what I think this does.

First of all, we shouldn’t be propping up failing enterprises, but rather the government should step in to provide an orderly and judicious system to their acquisition or restructuring.

Hey I only said it because it winds up the real idiots around here, makes them start calling people names, trying to hide the fact that they really are stupid...

That's pretty stupid, even for you.

Why? He IS the cause of all this, AND he's the one "fixing" it. Why should we ignore him? So he can get a free pass on his horrific policies?

You really should stop enabling him.
