That pretty much sucks.
Some competition in that segment would be good.
I wonder why there isn't any.

...and Seamonkey is an old Netscape codename.
SeaMonkey (CamelCase) is the current suite,
descended from the Mozilla suite.

The citizens of the USA who had been paying taxes

It's called an investment in the future.

it doesn't count as such to some folks.

Those people were already working.[1]

OTOH, in 1933, one in four Americans didn't have a job because
of the same kind of laissez-faire markets we saw recently.
Corporations have only one goal:  Make money...ethics be damned.
It is the job of the gov't to regulate the extent of the greed
and the Republicans didn't do that in the 1920s
nor did the NeoCons or NeoLiberals recently.

Tell it to the CCC members who had money to send to their families
who would have starved otherwise.
Tell it to the folks who had TVA jobs
and the folks who benefit from the TVA infrastructure today.
Tell it to the REA workers who electrified the rural part of the
country
and the folks who benefit from that today.

Tell it to the folks who are being foreclosed on today
while the "investment bankers" DON'T actually invest in anything.

Your emperor has no clothes.

"From each according to his abilities to each according to his needs"
seems like a decent baseline for a fair society.
You seem to advocate the law of the jungle.

...and Rand was a poseur.
As I alluded to, left to their own devices, in an actual jungle
the Free Market idiots would all die within 72 hours.

Note that I said *NeoLiberal*--not Liberal
...and there's not a dime's worth of difference
between a NeoCon and a NeoLiberal to me.

As for Liberals (I call myself Progressive, actually)
next time you DON'T have to work a 14-hour day: Thank a Liberal.
next time you have to work with a company's equipment
and it DOESN'T tear off your arm: Thank a Liberal.
Most of the advances we ever gained were Liberal in origin.

Everybody having enough to eat and proper medical care
in a society that has huge wealth as a whole
seems aberrant to you, huh?  That's perverse.
