-- If socialism is supporting people and "americanism" is supporting corporations, I'll take socialism, if for no other reason than I'm not incorporated. It just keeps going. Spend taxes to support corporations, then reduce taxes for the highest tax brackets (the owners of these corporations), rinse and repeat. It's not even your taxes, it's debt, for your children and grandchildren for generations to come to pay back, if they figure out how to stop spending debt. Let the corporations fail, they would do the same to you if you weren't profitable or made horrendously self-serving choices with their money. I keep hearing wall street types talk about how markets correct themselves. Isn't that what's happening? -- Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
