As i said......... "Capitalism" in the USA is now akin to Communism and Fascism.


That would have been news to the Ludlow, Pullman, and anthracite coal miners in the years prior to the passage of the National Labor Relations Act.
1894 and 1914 etc should be in the past and we should have moved forward from those terrible days but as we can now see by the increasing police force on todays protesters......... we are going backwards NOT forwards with the current Republican doctrine.



And the age of the Robber Barons was just a figment of your historical imagination?
Historical ..... and that's where this kind of rule should be.... Alas it is now becoming the quest by the right....... to emulate the "Robber Barons"



Which was the case in 1933 when those evil programs were enacted.
The 30's should not now become the model for the 21st Century in the USA





Well you got that hit that one right out of the park! Maybe even a rep point. You may not know history or political terminology but you have the most basic aspects of a functional society down pat.
You mean Dysfunctional......

Somehow, "I own a library card, I know what they are," would be a more reassuring assertion.

I feel sorry for you as you missed HS history. The ideas pushed by the real far right are fascist in nature. The history of our country,if you were aware of it, shows that we the people are against fascism. We can move forward with the mild socialism which we have today. It will take leaders who take there oath of office ahead of some oath to not raise taxes.

And a library card would allow you access to actual academics and their research, rather than to a radio personality whose goal is making money.

So the banks wanted NOTHING to do with giving out those mortgages, huh? They only did so because they were "pressured?"

I still can't believe that all these months later, folks still believe that sh*t.

Obviously you have NEVER lived in a Socialist Country or even talked to anyone from a Socialist Country or indeed tried to find out what Socialism is.............. "None as blind as those who refuse to see".... as in your case!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
