Good luck convincing the socialists of that. They still have their heads up their asses and buried in the sands of time where they praise FDR for screwing the country over.

There are so many hands in the pie that all that's left is the crust.
We are so far beyond screwed that it will take the light from screwed a million years to reach us.

Yeah, we don't have real free market capitalism here in the US. But Joe plumber doesn't know that and he will scream for more regulations to fix the problem. This Market needs to be allowed to collapse so a healthier one can replace it.
But instead we will keep trying to prop this failed economy up by borrowing money we don't have and throwing it into the maw of the Banking Giants that essentially caused the problem in the first place. But hey, I'm just some guy off the Street "Tilting at windmills" what do I know.
We should all just get used to the system pay our taxes go out and buy a plasma screen TV and holler for Universal Health Care.

you are correct...the reason they dont want to let their ponzi scheme fail is they will lose power if that happens..if it doesnt happen the american people are in for a very long period of misery...instead of a short period of misery.
and correct again..many americans will beg for the chains that will bind them..but ..uncle sugar will not be able to provide the free ride..they just wont be able to do it...and then the shit is going to hit the fan...

But amazingly enough the government has been spending allot of money outfitting the police with APC's, machine guns, grenade launchers, and sniper rifles and a whole lot of them. Seems the Government was right to be worried about uprisings years before there was any threat of one. And judging from what I've seen of law enforcement they will be all to eager to use that hardware on any "terrorist" groups or rioting "mobs".
Believe me, power structures in place don't want that power threatened and if People think 5 year plans and collective farms can save them they will do it. All the while pineing for the good old days and thinking we can make it better if we just do what the government asks they will help us. We will not fight we wouldn't even know what we were fighting for anymore. No one believes in the constitution its just an old out dated peice of paper anyway.

Sooner shoot myself than do that last. I am a man, I will stand on my own two feet, not crawl on my belly like a dog begging to not be kicked, and to be given a treat.

I love the way they look at capitolism, suck all the profits off the top and call it a paycheck, no worries, we can just jack the taxpayer to pay your bills.
When the shit hits the fan, run for the small towns, we have just over 5000 people here but less than 10 cops and that counts county cops, not just city. 5000 -10 are pretty good odds.

Shoot the cops, loot the rich, burn the elites out of their mansions, stock up on groceries and hunker down. Does everyone here abouts know how to make molotov cocktails? If not you should take a primer in revolution 1A.

Good advice johnny, don't ever talk to police if you are a suspect in anything. Maybe if you are a witness to a crime, it's OK.

Good book, really disturbing if one considers that the leaches in that book who were in the corporations of the book have a disturbing parallel to the leaches in our corporations.
People that are so afraid of failure, and being human that they run to suck on the government's tit like little squalling infants, and sell out all the principles that they supposedly stand for.
Then there's some of the private individuals that are the same way, but I do not disagree with all of the main character's views. It is one thing to help family, but entirely another to be held up at gun point and forced to slave for others who's only method of asking is having the government hold the gun for them.

Read it and find out, I can't say if you'll like it or not, but it's still a good book, even if you don't agree with the philosophy presented in it.

You should have printed that in all caps, bold and underlined, perhaps it would have been sufficient to give Med a heart attack. You know, the thought of more evil capitalists running around preaching about how income taxes are involuntary servitude is slavery, and that people who rely upon government graft are leaches.I recently gave the 50th Anniversary hardback editon to my youngest Grandson for his 17th birthday.

I think I was 16 or 17 when I read the Fountainhead, and 18 or 19 when I read Atlas Shrugged. Though I have reread it again.
As far as claims of those ideas being dead... Don't make me laugh, these ideas are as old as this country, which remarkably enough is the country with the oldest government in the world...
Though Thomas Jefferson did have something to say about that, too...
