Rudd recognises greed at heart of financial crisis

[truevoice08]

Rudd is an ass. He supports environmental policies that drive out farmers from their land so the gov't can build windmills

What about Rudds 'greed' to spend 160 billion dollars of money that Australia doesn't have?

You said it. I was trying so hard to warn people on youtube about Rudd in late 2007. I said he was like Palpatine and if elected PM he would turn into the Emperor. Well, it's more like he is Darth Vader working for the Emperor, which in this case in the private banksters who own the RBA, Federal Reserve, Bank of England, IMF etc. He is a traitor to the Australian people and will only surrender our independence further, to the NWO.

bobtassoni -- Well said! I completely agree.

'Overseas people' might benefit from a bit of freedom. Freedom of ownership. Freedom of movement. Freedom of speech.

Why is it always the opinion of the media that the west is somehow magically rich, while the east is somehow magically poor. The wealth of the west is a result of a philosophy which is being quickly eroded. That philosophy is individual liberty.

bobtassoni -- Great point about the greedy always being with us!

Another thing worth noting is that economic bubbles are not caused by too little government regulation, but by too much money and too much easy credit, which comes from central banks, like the Federal Reserve. It seems like politicians and the media are blaming the free market for the economic downturn rather than the real culprits. (Except, of course, for Ron Paul, who understands the problem like no other politician does.)

What makes them so wise as to know when somebody else's compensation is "excessive"? Does they know the proper price of everything else, too? If government "experts" regulating our economies was the answer to our problems the Soviet Union would be the dominant world power. But socialism creates misery, not prosperity.

Are Australian Christians endorsing the use of government violence to forcibly redistribute wealth? Is that what Jesus would have done? Really? "Compassion" at the point of a gun?
