If capitalism is based on free markets, then you could never have CEOs and shareholders funneling millions of dollars away from a company without someone else creating a company that didn't do that and putting the first company out of business. Don't fall for their guilt trip bullshit. They only maintain their system by lying and cheating everybody.
hey sdmikev....if you're lame argument is class warfare then let's look at the facts. I know you hate facts b/c you they make you think. Tax rates during Ike and Clinton, were higher on the rich than they are now. Yet the country saw historical economic growth. Since Reagan's devolution, we've seen the average American income remain stagnant, lower taxes for the rich, and the cost of living skyrocket. It's a historical fact. Education up. Food up. Gas up. Stop listening to paranoid white men.
@NIKV69 Yea, there's class warfare alright. The ruling class has been stealing from the working class for about 30 solid years. We've seen our jobs outsourced or offshored and our wages stagnate while the most wealthy in this country have seen their incomes skyrocket. 30 years ago, your average CEO made roughly 25 times what your average worker made. Now it's about 500 times. Why is that? We're being fleeced by a handful of plutocrats.
@NIKV69 Read Griftopia, watch Inside Job, look at the reality around you, like the neutering of unions, the increasing foreclosures, homeless, oil prices, food prices, and oil company and Wall St. executive bonuses and tell me about class warfare. I bet you're not even a millionaire. You're just some lower middle class drone who thinks he will be rich one day, and when you are you won't want to be giving black people health care with a percentage or two of your wealth, or paying for schools, etc
@NIKV69 Class warfare? That is what the neocons and neolibs have been waging on the people of the world for almost 30 years-unfortunately, the bastards. . .I mean your friends are winning.
Rush is rich. As a good capitalist he should invest in land expropriated. . .I mean acquired from the Palestinians to build his own Oxycodone plant.
You stupid fucktard. How much that fat waste of skin Limbaugh makes is completely irrelevant. Matt is a far superior human being, he is 1 of the very few honest journalist who has a pair, that is willing to expose the crooks who're destroying America, whilst that fat bastard Limbaugh is supporting those very crooks
@RHX2 He is a jealous hater who hates the fact people make more than he does working for a magazine nobody buys anymore. So now he latches on to a loser network who runs 3rd all the time. Give me a break he is Michael Moore light. Fail.
His recent work "The People vs Goldman Sachs" has gone viral all over the web. Everyone is talking about. He is a very well known and respectable journalist. How much he makes is irrelevant. It is the quality of his work that matters - compared to that fat piece of human garbage Limbaugh who is nothing more than a racist hate mongering bigot. The dishonest scumbags like him are the ones that make the most money. It pays to be him,.
Rush Limbaugh is NOT a right winger to the point of being Libertarian, EVERY word that vomits out of Limbaugh's mouth is pre-approved by the Big Money special interests that currently infest Washington DC. These groups would include: Big Pharma, Big Insurance, Big Defense, The Chamber of Commerce, to name just a few of the bigger ones. Rush likes to rip the elites. This is hilarious because Limbaugh does NOTHING but carry the water for the elites who pay his $4o million per year salary--payoff?
Don't forget Rush says William F. Buckley of The CIA was his political backer who brought him onto the scene. This guy cavorts with European aristocrats who ponder how much better it would be if European countries were under monarchy.

Looking foolish to blacks? Give me a break. Taibbi is a fool. I investigated his writing only to come up with this comment.
If you talk this way about an honest man such as Limbaugh you get what you deserve.......such as what is happening right now in regards the American economy.
Too bad Taibbi the "genius" can not seem to tell us about Goldman Sachs BEFORE the bad things happen.
I suspect he is a fungus just like every other writer with no base skills other than turning a word
LIMBA and BillO are clowns.

All I know of Limbaugh is when he imitated Michael J. Fox. The man has gotta be a tool. Only in America can an arsehole like that be popular.
