    All they're doing is literally buying time so that their markets can continue working and that they could think of a way out of this mess. Do any of you know of Tariq Ali?

    How Greece's Crisis Could Become Our Own

    There is a really interesting Socialist economist that talks about this. What's nice about him being socialist is that he doesn't try to hide or sugar coat the story and openly denounces those at wall street that have caused the financial meltdown of 2008. He simply offers a different opinion...

    Christianity Conforms More To Communism Than To Capitalism

    Listen. I don't want to hold on to the past. The Soviet Union is long and over with. I'm simply unhappy with what I see happening on Wall Street. Also, you have a false notion of a commune. In a commune, you and I would both have vote on what to do with our workplace. It would be called a...

Simply because the dems are trying to pass some social programs doesn't mean that we're signing away our freedom. Finland, has some of the most social programs and is perhaps the best capitalist country to live...
