The financial meltdown has revealed to America just how greedy and incompetent their ruling plutocracy really is. Not only have they systematically screwed the law-abiding taxpaying citizens of the USA, they now heap insult upon injury with their demands for bailouts and executive compensation.

The word banker is now synonymous (and rightly so) with the words "greed", "thief", and "cunt".

Our democracy is more important than sheer capitalism. Capitalism must be the servant of democracy rather than the other way. I dare say the person you quote is not considering all the implications of Capitalism for its own sake. The natural consequence of what you offer is slavary. By the way the userous laws of outrageous credit was outlawed in the 30's and has returned due to not educating our citizens on such matters.

hahahahahahah dude are you that fucking stupid I already disproved your "everyone gets equal C's" as being a stupid skew of the truth so why would you say Socialism calls for TAKING from some to give to OTHERS? Socialism would give everyone the same OPPORTUNITY then they can get more or less depending on how they take advantage of that opportunity idiot that is called equal representation which is what our founding fathers envisioned it took you three weeks to give a stupid response haha

"Socialism is what our founders envisioned; well atleast the writers of the Constitution did; what does "life,liberty and pursuit of happiness" mean to you?"

It means FREEDOM, dipshit, not the government taking things away from you to dole it out to others as it sees fit. Damn, where are you from, Mars?

"get your facts straight"

Take your own advice. The first part of your message is all wrong, the second part is right. The Bill of Rights specifies our freedom FROM GOVERNMENT.

Socialism is what our founders envisioned; well atleast the writers of the Constitution did; what does "life,liberty and pursuit of happiness" mean to you? is that phrase ridiculous also? haha Yes you are correct it has remained a matter of contention;a matter in which their MUST be a free market; were everyone has a fair opportunity to succeed; a lessaiz faire state...supported by the authors of our constitution and bill of rights, get your facts straight.

True socialism allows gays/black/jews/midgets/women/­taxpayers/athiest/religious/ou­tgoing/introverted/young/old people equal representation, that would explain why i put Socialism=equality; you're bashing on Socialism so you must have a better alernative? do you?

[angelchivas]

HAHAH nice try to use logic, your example is a funny skew/distortion of equality(a la media). When MLK preached equality you probable would have opposed him on the notion that he wanted all the black kids and white kids to equally receive C's;you're funny.Equality is an idea you can apply it as you deem appropriate, equality through socialism demands equal representation/taxation/opport­unity; you're failed logic shows you deserve an F; how am I racist? capitalist or fascist?

The dollar is baseless, it's value derives from peoples will to exchange it for goods and services and nothing more....oil is a backed commodity its supple and demand is backed by its many uses, a dollar is a piece of paper that was backed by gold and silver; where does the dollar derive its value from if you claim the opposite?

[IntellectualAddict]

"our money today is baseless"

The Dollar is itself a commodity, like gold, oil, etc.

"Socialism=equality"

So you told your teachers in school to give you a C instead of the A that you earned so that your slacker friend who never studied would not get an F? If you didn't, then you're just another racist capitalist Fascist who doesn't care about other people and wants them to suffer & die in poverty.
