  the prescient stock broker, and austrian school econ guru that called this current economics crisis well ahead of time.

  i remember him in 2004/2005 like a voice in the wilderness.. http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2009/02/netroots_promot.php#013623.

  web-savvy libertarians in california have launched a nationwide movement to draft a new haven-born celebrity pundit to take on connecticut u.s. sen. chris dodd.

  Americans need to stop buying things.

  Don't tell me only Dems want to control the masses' private lives.

  Actually, I quite agree on the savings part.

  Why is America such an unequal society?

  by hamilcarr in

  with the latest surge of anti-european comments and threads from us anti-progressives on this board, a little bit american self-criticism may be appropriate.. since the eighties, income inequality has been on the rise in american society.

  most economists, however, agree that redistributing wealth is a legitimate role for any modern enlightened government.

  and even alan greenspan labelled us income inequality a "disturbing tend" which could lead to societal instability.

  Insofar as 'all men being created equal', this is a nice dream, thought, or fantasy

  So the ideas behind your constitution are just a few loose words, a dream, no reality?

  Christians tend to bestow moral authority on their spiritual leaders. That's no real liberation to me.

  America was founded on the tacit principle that only the landed gentry should govern or have a say in how government is administered.

  We the People of the United States ... promote the general Welfare.

  I don't believe a concentration of power and wealth in a political or economic elite class is the underpinning of all things American. The US Constitution was way more progressive.

  its made up of people in the community.

  That's how it should be and that's why governments all over Europe are trembling as angry people take to the streets demanding social policies and a sustainable economy.

  Sorry Im so unprogressive.

  No problem Ippy. Indeed, a redistributive state is more progressive than a status quo state, that's obvious. A libertarian 'leave me alone' attitude embraces the 'more of the same' ideology even more.

  But, but,...but.... their corporate tax rate is so low..... how could this be happening????? Impossible!

  And they renounced statutory union recognition. Strange indeed!
