@InvertedHorizon I hope I didnt overload you with quality 'spam'. I just realized that I had already sent you some nuggets of truth. While I am at it if I have not yet recommended to you to listen to Michael Tsarion on the youtube, then I will now. He has much integrity like Hitchens but is more of a philosopher and is also very interested in esoteric subjects. He is a good if not great scholar and is also solution oriented and articulate.

@WrathOfTheTyrants "economic equality" is a socialist buzz phraze to argue distrubution of wealth. Bogus idea. Capitalim offers equal chance to get ahead and what you do with the opportunity is up to you. NO one OWES you equaly prosperity. Some people don't want to work hard and some not at all and neither I nor you should required to support unmotivated people. Life will never be equal...some get lucky and some try harder but equal chance is what I am referring to. Utopiajoke

Reagan's policies lead to 50 months of economic growth, the longest in our nations history. Corporate America did NOT like Reagan, they felt he betrayed them, when he supported small business.

@1927Norma And what does capitalism have to offer in regards to economic equality?

Can anyone please tell me what documentary this is from? Thanx in advance.
@tubub Reagan was an awful president and consistently lied to the people he governed. Iran-Contra affair ring a bell to you? Reagan's War on Drugs, combined with his economic policies, are the two foremost reasons why Reagan should be regarded in history as a buffoon and an imbecile.

@1927Norma Social Darwinism. Same philosophy you adhere to on a biological level is called evolution. Oddly though most ppl who adhere to Social Darwinism are actually very Christian (or claim to be) which is technically against their religion. And actually communal support (and I don't mean economically as it had no place in human society prior to agriculture) was very common in hunter gatherer societies and one of the reason s the species of Homo Sapiens Sapiens still exists.
