The graph did show a spike in the 1970s. And the whole point behind it is to focus on the 2002-2006 boom and bust, so I dunno why you got your undies in a twist. Probably because it's Glenn Beck who's doing the talking which today is enough reason for people to cry foul.

What a lovely graph. I wonder if it contains any real data. House prices certainly more than doubled between 1970 and 1990, but not on Glenn Beck's graph! As someone watching the real estate market between 1970 and 1990, I'd conclude Beck made that graph up, except for the 2002-2006 boom (and bust).

I'm not surprised. Beck makes a lot of stuff up and claims special knowledge not backed by facts quite often.

@supercrazylegs1 that's why i'm not a Marxist. Bakunin was right when he told Marx at the first international that his idea of a temporary dictatorship of the proletariat would never work and would lead to a regime as bad or worse than that of the fascists. i'm an anarchist. we are the original socialists. Marx was directly influenced by Proudhon who created the first fully developed socialist economic concept called mutualism -- a form of individualist anarchism.

@eboyd32 The problem with socialism is that that never works because no government control is ever temporary.

[eboyd32]

@Smartguy561 wrong. capitalism means "private property over the means of production". socialism, in its true/original definition, means "workers control over the means of production". by this definition, "government run economy", and, by extension, the USSR, Cuba, Vietnam, etc., are the antithesis of socialism. true socialists are in favor of worker run collective businesses, free from capitalist hierarchy. we see government as a temporary cage to save us from the predator which is big business.

@eboyd32 Excuse me, but yes I do. Capitolism comes from the concept of producing capitol, the fruits of yoiur labor, where as socialism is government run economy and programs. Unfortunatly, a lot of these government programs are being abused by people who are irresponsible and don't want to be accoutable for their actions. A lot of these programs take away a person's need to save, work and be financially responsible for themselves.

@Smartguy561 you don't even know the definitions of socialism and capitalism.

[dragonsder]

Oh of course. Beck takes something big and uses it to attack the left

[Smartguy561]

@gkgreger No, stoping free trade and capitolism is what makes countries poor and bankrupt. You have it backwards. Capitolism is what our country was founded on and that is what God taught Isreal in the bible. Socialism is what ruins a country and that is what we are headed toward!
