Obama is really pulling out all of the stops

True, yet the idiocy is in lumping all of them into one group or blaming the system itself. Are you suggesting Europeans don't pay taxes included in their cell phone or internet bill? Fuck, the Brits pay tax just to watch TV. Not necessarily. There are laws of diminishing returns and regional differences. You can't base the success of an economic system on the price of cell phone service.I agree. But no one was attacking socialism.

Besides, regardless of the good and bad sides of either one it doesn't change the fact that throughout all of recorded history capitalism has been the driving force of innovation and technological - in some cases, cultural - spread.

I've missed you fly. :heart:
 
There are good and bad things with capitalism, just as there are good and bad things with socialism. Dogging one and blindly defending the other will do no one any good.

Compulsory redistribution of wealth, no matter what you call it, will always effect the largest class of earners the most. The people at the far ends of the curve on both sides will always be impacted the least, i.e. the very rich and the very poor.
 
See, THIS is the kind of stuff that worries me.

Serious? No Catholic or religious schools that are free? That's crazy. And Sfly are you seriously trying to tell me that they don't teach anything from the bible in assemblys (parables come to mind) or mention God or sing any hymns in public school in the US?

They don't teach that crap here in public schools...
