uncle b, your post is as depressing as ever. sadly I dont think it is all that far off.

However this is no left and there is no right. it is all the same BS. if you look at Obama he is the same as Bush who is the same as Clinton et al. They will all do the same thing, grow the government, which is fundamentally the cause of all (well most, they’re workin on it) of our problems.

Uncle B you have most of it right except you need to replace George Bush with Barak Hussein Obama and his ultra left crew (Clinton, Pelosi, Kennedy, et al). It was Clinton’s administration that got the ball rolling with the the real estate collapse it just happened to end up in Bush’s court. Obama now will spend us into oblivion and complete the work. How is your Chinese?

It really doesn’t matter what the U.S. is becoming! In light of the Asian effort we are soon to become a third world entity anyway! China alone has more post-grad students enrolled than the U.S. has high school students! Buick Lesabres and Chev cavaliers are being built in Shanghai as we speak, by peasant girls earning eighty five cents and hour and taught by GM! Radiologists in India are sent by satellite communications x-rays and MRI’s and over-night they interpret them for one tenth the cost of their U.S. counterparts! Honda, Hyundai, Subaru and others buy parts made by fleets of in-factory-dwelling, 12 hour a day, seven day a week working girls – The American counterpart cannot compete! The American infrastructure is too expensive and requires workers to make $18 to $20.00 an hour to support! The middle class in America is about to disappear into the smoke and rumblings of the impending (GRD) great republican depression – itself a manufacture of George Bush and his neo-con co-conspirators unwittingly or otherwise! The American sawbuck is worth less each day, the Euro is overtaking it, and whole countries are pulling away from America! A socialist America, no, America and capitalism in the death throws, probably! The end of life as most Americans know it – guaranteed! We are in for Change!

Approximately 50% of our produce is seized and redistributed by the state. No principle still ascribed to is stopping that needle from moving to 60%, 75%, or even 100%. Contrast that with our nations origins when 0% of our produce was seized by the state, unless we were dealing internationally. Bit of a difference?

“To say that the government should never act is laughable, especially these days.”

Oh yes. The “these days” argument. The “modern civilization” argument. The “nothing that has happened before applies to us” argument. The “of course we couldn’t possibly…” argument. Bull. You can either *treat* all people equally, or you can attempt to *make* them equal. The same choice that has existed for thousands of years. You cannot choose both; they are utterly opposed to one another. Socialism has the latter as its goal. Our nation was founded with the former as its goal. Perhaps “socialism” isn’t the best term to describe the specific governmental methods in play, but that’s just word games.

When we have a government that gives taxpayer’s money for supports to Oil, Farming etc…then we do not have a “free market.” When the govt bails out the auto industry etc then we do not have a “free market.”
