END THE FED!; October 20, 2008 7:43 AM

The underlying contradictions of capitalism will always lead to extreme poverty, concentration of wealth, imperialism, and dictatorship. It will always create monopolies. Study Marx. I suggest "Wage Labor and Capital"; October 20, 2008 12:26 PM

Hence, boom and bust is part of the nature of capitalism. The bosses and the financiers know this, hence their looting of the system for the past decade or so. Everybody else gets screwed.; October 20, 2008 12:43 PM
Anonymous said...: Hi. The Oct. 20 12:26 comment is also not very well thought out. Read Marx again. His is an empty argument which excludes human avarice and human reality. For there to be wage earners, there must be wage givers: The elite. The elite will always abuse their privileges, regardless the economic system. Our only hope is mass instantaneous enlightenment, which would doom us to eartly extinction.; October 20, 2008 1:04 PM
