Rome is DEFINITELY burning!!!!

this article is written by a Russian blogger!  :o

American capitalism gone with a whimper . . . . .

It must be said, that like the breaking of a great dam, the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed, against the back drop of a passive, hapless sheeple, excuse me dear reader, I meant people.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street poured into the fists of the Marxists.

Those lessons were taken and used to properly prepare the American populace for the surrender of their freedoms and souls, to the whims of their elites and betters.

First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics. Americans know more about their favorite TV dramas than the drama in DC that directly affects their lives. They care more for their "right" to choke down a McDonalds burger or a BurgerKing burger than for their constitutional rights. Then they turn around and lecture us (Russia) about our rights and about our "democracy". Pride blinds the foolish.

Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different "branches and denominations" were for the most part little more then Sunday circuses and their televangelists and top protestant mega preachers were more then happy to sell out their souls and flocks to be on the "winning" side of one pseudo Marxist politician or another. Their flocks may complain, but when explained that they would be on the "winning" side, their flocks were ever so quick to reject Christ in hopes for earthly power. Even our Holy Orthodox (Russian Orthodox) churches are scandalously liberalized in America.

The final collapse has come with the election of Barack Obama. His speed in the past three months has been truly impressive. His spending and money printing has been a record setting, not just in America's short history but in the world. If this keeps up for more than another year, and there is no sign that it will not, America at best will resemble the Wiemar Republic and at worst Zimbabwe.

These past two weeks have been the most breath taking of all. First came the announcement of a planned redesign of the American Byzantine tax system, by the very thieves who used it to bankroll their thefts, loses and swindles of hundreds of billions of dollars. These make our Russian oligarchs look little more than ordinary street thugs, in comparison. Yes, the Americans have beat our own thieves in the shear volumes. Should we congratulate them?

These men, of course, are not an elected panel but made up of appointees picked from the very financial oligarchs and their henchmen who are now gorging themselves on trillions of American dollars, in one bailout after another. They are also usurping the rights, duties and powers of the American congress (parliament). Again, congress has put up little more then a whimper to their masters.

Then came Barack Obama's command that GM's (General Motor) president step down from leadership of his company. That is correct, dear reader, in the land of "pure" free markets, the American president now has the power, the self given power, to fire CEOs and we can assume other employees of private companies, at will. Come hither, go dither, the centurion commands his minions.

So it should be no surprise that the American president has followed this up with a "bold" move of declaring that he and another group of unelected, chosen stooges will now redesign the entire automotive industry and will even be the guarantee of automobile policies. I am sure that if given the chance, they would happily try and redesign it for the whole of the world, too. Prime Minister Putin, less then two months ago, warned Obama and UK's Blair, not to follow the path to Marxism, it only leads to disaster. Apparently, even though we suffered 70 years of this Western sponsored horror show, we know nothing, as foolish, drunken Russians, so let our "wise" Anglo-Saxon fools find out the folly of their own pride.

Again, the American public has taken this with barely a whimper...but a "freeman" whimper.

So, should it be any surprise to discover that the Democratically controlled Congress of America is working on passing a new regulation that would give the American Treasury department the power to set "fair" maximum salaries, evaluate performance and control how private companies give out pay raises and bonuses? Senator Barney Franks, a social pervert basking in his homosexuality (of course, amongst the modern, enlightened American societal norm, as well as that of the general West, homosexuality is not only not a looked down upon life choice, but is often praised as a virtue) and his Marxist enlightenment, has led this effort. He stresses that this only affects companies that receive government monies, but it is retroactive and taken to a logical extreme, this would include any company or industry that has ever received a tax break or incentive.

The Russian owners of American companies and industries should look thoughtfully at this and the option of closing their facilities down and fleeing the land of the Red as fast as possible. In other words, divest while there is still value left.

The proud American will go down into his slavery with out a fight, beating his chest and proclaiming to the world, how free he really is. The world will only snicker.

Unchecked Capitalism is the source of our national woes.

Corporations grow into monopolistic monsters that provided lousy service and crap products. 

The gleeful pursuit of acquisitive success - acting in one's own interest without conscience nonetheless - is the very heart of this idea of unchecked capitalism.  Have it your way baby! 

Greed is not good. 

Or maybe I'm wrong.  Maybe this country just needs more de-regulation, more tax cuts and more 'free' markets to right the ship of state.

Nahhhhhhhhhhh....that's the bullshit that set the table for our collapse.

I would like to meet the Freeper who really wrote the article featured here.

The term "unchecked Capitalism" is an oxymoron. Capitalism is by its very definition a check on greed because it pits one person's greed against everybody else's greed.

No it is not an oxymoron.

'Capitalism' by its very definition is where private people own the means of production.

You're 0 -1 so far.

I prefer 'checked capitalism' with a necessary but limited federal gov.  We need regulation (but not over regulation).  Our businesses are definitely taxed too much.  Stop the subsidies to companies who don't need them but bring down our payroll and corporate taxes.  I never knew how much small businesses were taxed until I started one, its insane.  Overall, approx 40% is taken from us through all taxation.

The general culture has definitely gone downhill thanks to our media, tv and recent obsession with dysfunctional cultural icons.

I like how we're a Nation of Laws... We're always told that and each of us expected to live it daily.  Just don't ask corporations to operate under such an absurd notion.  They expect full liberty lol...

Actually, this is a gooid point for discussion.  The govt passes so many laws that it is impossible tofollow all of them without being in violation of one or some of them.

Just like a lot of people don't report their taxes under the current system.  Many people that can work for cash (trades, outdoor work, etc) aren't following tax laws.  Those of us who have small businesses and have to keep detailed books and follow tax laws feel like we are getting killed with taxes.

We dont have a true capitilistic system.  Under true capitilism, failed companies would be allowed to go bankrupt.  The govt could not change tax laws to favor one business over the other, etc.

What we have here is a complete farse.

I never said that.  The path we are heading down is disastrous.  GWB definately helped put it in motion with the bailouts, reckless spending, and TARP.
