I ran across this one from 1999. It was posted to FW.
If consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.....well I am consistent.

My view is a function of things that I believe-- note I can't 'prove
them' just believe them:
1. That western capitalist society has solved the production
problem.
2. That we have not solved the distribution problem.
3. That good jobs for the broad middle class are less to be found
these days than in the past and will be less so in the future.(because of IT
and globalisation)
4. That effective demand has to be maintained if we are to avoid an
economic meltdown.
5. That money will be found (from a bit tax, a tobin tax, some other
form of turnover indirect tax) to provide a basic income, or to provide
spending for some other type of workfare activivities in the third sector.
6. That governments will argue about debt this and deficit that but
when the crunch comes, new money will be found.
