Sure it sounds lke a great idea (if one buys into carbon credit greenwashing as being a good idea in the first place) to also tax the militarists... The video is buypassing an obvious reality that it is the taxpayer who pays for the military... so uhhh, by all means demand that your taxes be increased so the military industry can continue, they shouldnt find much problem with that!!!

Anything asides from smashing capitalism will do!!

Infowhores recently published an article with a headlie that presumes the health care bill will destroy American global economic dominance, and not:

1) Countless imperialist wars

2) Outsourcing labour to make goods US gluttons cannot afford

3) Making drugs illegal to flush money down the toilet of the state subsidized prison industry...

4) Usury/ private banking...

5) Etc.

SPOKEN FROM THE PATSIES OWN MOUTH!!!!

“I think what they’ll do is they’ll give in to some of the transparency at the same time they’ll give them more power,” Mr. Paul said. “We’re going to be bugging you a lot more. We’re going to be keeping eyes on you. That might be the way. Maybe inadvertently I’ll help them get more power at the Fed.”

WELL.... SOUNDS FKN GREAT!!!!

I cant stand Michael Moore and his "free" market shananigans as much as the next outspoken asshole.

Sheldon Richman (below) iterates the typical libertarian argument that government/business integration (corporatism) is what has lead to the current economic crisis and not the "Free Market" that precipitated this mixture. However he notes some sociohistoric contradictions in Moores logic which seem quite appropriate. And honestly any jab taken at a supposed millionaire anti-capitalist who charges the slaves to see his film is fair game in my books. However Sheldons assumption that if the free market were left entirely alone by government that it would somehow prevent this from ever happening is lunacy, and essentially more shill disinfo.

It was the free markets compounding wealth paradigm that lead to back alley deals with politicians, lobbyist power etc. If the government stayed out of capitalism there would be no workers rights, in fact the libertarians nightmare would be true in that mexicans and other immigrants from poorer nations would offer to do the work much cheaper, thus eradictating the middle class and the oppurtunity for upward socioeconomic mobility. The end result of such a system is Fascism, and look out because they are greasing the wheels for 2012.

Libertarians in this respect are nothing more than covert keynesians, essentially they are the real neo-conservatives who think everything should be privatized and that somehow, through trial and tribulation, everything would simply work itself out. They are clearly as deluded as Michael Moore and his following and offer nothing new that hasnt persisted in the political dialetic since this faux democracies onset. 

The fact is this is all bullshit, the real empathetic rebels are buried in the deepest crevasses of this digitial slew of shit and lies, your reading one right now so... enjoy it while it lasts.

The Phony Radicalism of Michael Moore
By Sheldon Richman
Published 10/31/09

With phony radicals like Michael Moore around, the ruling elite has nothing to worry about.

The filmmaker likes to pose as a radical critic of the status quo, but he isn’t. All the evidence you need is in his latest documentary, Capitalism: A Love Story. Sure, he rails against home foreclosures, bank bailouts, low wages, other real and imagined problems, but his solution would not disturb the sleep of any big banker, corporate bigwig, or political big shot.

The tipoff comes right at the beginning of the movie. He paints an idyllic picture of life in America in the 1950s. His father worked for a big auto company, through which the family got free medical and dental care. All was well. He realizes that a major reason things were so good was that the U.S. military had destroyed Japan’s and Germany’s competitive industrial bases in World War II. But the dominance was great while it lasted. It was a time when an alliance of big government, big business, and big labor ruled the roost. The military-industrial complex was thriving. That seems fine with Moore, which puts him in the camp of the corporatists of Franklin Roosevelt’s Brain Trust, who thought free markets and competition among independent firms were passé. The new world required big monolithic entities that sat down together and worked things out nicely. The spirit of Mussolini hovered over all of it.
