PRAVDA: U.S. Capitalism Gone With A Whimper

the author of that article is not lying (unfortunately). Just take a look at some participants here on EliteT, they sounds more marxist than Marx himself.

-These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more then ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

-First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather then the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas then the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blind the foolish.

-Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another.

-Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster.

-Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

-should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses?.

-Berney Frank and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.
 
First the joke was on Marxists. Marx pointed out how machines sideline labor but the rise of technology created new jobs for a long time while people behind the Iron Curtain were told that the West was collapsing, any day now... Now the joke is on workers. Technology has run out of new jobs to create but it is sidelining workers all over the world, perhaps exponentially... Marx's answers to the problem are absolute insanity, continual revolution never happened, the biggest murdering psycho gets into power and there is no more revolution, that's what Stalin, North Korea, etc., are about.. this current version of Marxism, the BO admin, believes somehow that government can supply the jobs lost.. how they are going to pay all those workers is not part of the thinking though...

All that government intervention can do is increase the volatility, that's the bottom line really. Trying to fix an economy by playing with financial instruments is like trying to create a family by rubbing your.. you get it ...
