Thank you President Obama, you need to pass a federal law allowing Free and Open Communication on Saleries! This GAG ORDER that American Business have on Salaries on their workers is Just Ridicilous and needs to be stopped!

I take it you have no idea what Uber Capitalist Alan Greenspan meant. By "The Model Is Flawed".

When the founding fathers tried to correct for the inherit problem in Lazier Faire Capitalism, do you understand what they were concerned about?

Unless you are at the top You & no rational person would want to live in a purely capitalist country.

Capitalism is a tool, like a hammer, it is not a way of life, somehow conservatives need to learn that.

Capitalism has to be monitored.

Fascism: is a radical and authoritarian nationalist political ideology. Fascists seek to organize a nation according to corporatist perspectives, values, and systems, including the political system and the economy. THI IS THE DEFINITION FROM WIKIPEDIA!

This whole thread is about everything but my original comment, which began it. Now, Obama is nationalizing Banks, Finance, Industry even Healthcare and it's dishonest an exploitive. He, Pelosi, and Reid are exploiting your Stupidity to consolidate power in the central government giving cradle-to-grave control over Americans. No longer a people with a government, this is becoming a Govt. Over the people. My original comment spoke to a concern which you are to indoctrinated to fathom.

You know, you're right...this is all the fault of Bush and the Neo-cons. If not for them, we would never have been attacked(well, we all Know that it was the Neo-cons thewmselves who attacked on 9/11, right?) and all the rest...Sheesh dude. Your comment here is cover for a lie. The "6 ideas" you mention are like 9 comments below where he stated he had "come up with solutions". That means he fucked up, And You fucked up by butting in on an A-B conversation, so C your way the hell out of it.

Dude I read the damn threads. You never answered a single question, instead you bitch about spelling.

I saw the FRONTLINE movie, its fair, BUSH fucked us up, Obama is trying to clean up 8 years of shit, thats why u wont look!

Lifer told you 6 ideas, you pissed on them, then later said he never wrote anything.

He asked your ideas, and you dodged the question with some bullshit.

Stop acting like a stupid cunt and own up.

I voted 4 Bush, but i'm man enough to say Bush screwed us.

I dont deal in hypotheticals, and I dont understand why you insist on promoting ideologies that are proven failures. Seriously; "reject materialism" is that the best you can do? Is that Obama's plan? What I suggest you do to get a picture of the "conservative ideal" is to read Washington's farewell address to the nation, Reagan's speech @ the '64 RNC, and just about anything from Toqueville, or Edwin Burke. Oddly enough, I have basically that same thing posted on my page, and people still ask.

I'm not sure what an "Amazoian" is, but it sounds like it might come from the original Startrek series or something, which makes sense in a way I guess, since your "solutions" read like a cross between Startrek, "Imagine" by J. Lennon, and Communism by Vladimir Lenin...anyway, not to digress, but I suggest you rely on spellchecker while writing your Doctoral Thesis Mr. PHD. "Tibetian"? "Amazoians?"

Just trying to keep it light...Nero fiddled whilst Rome burned...we have YouTube.

As for Libertarian ideals Sly, they are closer to what the founders of America envisioned than this whole Tibetan Monk/Amish/Amazonian thing. Necessity has been a cruel taskmaster for our Constitution, and in some cases countermanded our founding priciples. That doesn't exhonorate this administration in it's grab for power. Buying GM with nearly worthless freshly printed currency, and kicking back to the UAW was what I was talking about in the 1st place. Devalue and buy cheap is Obama's game.

[wideawake123]

Sly, I suggest you reread the thread. I answered his 1st question candidly. I wouldnt Be POTUS nor would I ever want to be. My comment was about the administration, lifeseeker made it about me. The rest of this thread has been me asking lifeseeker what he meant by "I came up with those solutions" (what "solutions"?), and him asking me 15 part question in an effort to avoid listing them. Then to come up with "Tibetian"(sic) Monks and Amazons? Really... you people voting scares me.

[wideawake123]

Your comment made no sense at all. The Amish? Tebetan Monks? Why not add Serbian Nuns to your list? Karl Marx also rejected materialism, his ideology caused over 100million deaths last century. The Masi dont reject materialism BTW, they believe "every cow on the planet belongs to them" and have a habit of fighting wars over them. Shall we all live like forest tribes now, is that the "Change you believe in"? Was that what your man was talking about? "Retraining" in What... imaginary "Green Jobs"?

Dude, I just read you guys stuff.

Wideawake sounds like a dick, he avoids answering. Aint got no ideas I bet.

A perfect capitalist society has almost no Gvmt. If you dont pay 4 services, you dont get any, law of the jungle.

Parents work harder 4 money 4 schooling & HC 4 their children, otherwise they live in poverty.

I decide if I want to pay for someone elses kids schools through charity.

Gvmts job is to protect my property, thats what I pay taxes for. I have the right to own guns too.
