usa people, what if capitalism finaly led to the following scenario:

[Voice of Doom]

Theres never been less regulation in the US than today. Wall Street are not regulated at all.
In the 70ies airline fares was actually regulated by the government, you didnt know that, but now you do.

Personally I am very happy that we got the Stupid Republican Middle Class (SRMC). The SRMC is always happy to pay the rich mans bills. Like when his house lost 65% of its value. When his pension almost vanished. When his stocks all got lost in 2008. If he doesnt wanna pay we just accuse him of beeing socialist. It works every single time.

So this is a personal thank you to Roger Bacon for always beeing there to take the loss and pay our bill. Thank You !

Less regulation?!  Are you kidding?  Have you looked at what it costs a small business to hire someone these days?  There may be less regulation in certain industries like finance but that's because of the revolving door between Wall Street and Treasury related government jobs. 

Wall Street is only successful because it has an open ended stream of capital at 0% interest it can pull from the Federal Reserve to invest and put on the American people's tab.  That's not a free market that's crony capitalism and its the 'de facto' system of ruling people in every country in the world no matter what 'creed' they've got on their flag or in their history books.

Take your left/right blinders off and view the world as it really is...built upon privilege and status and the maintenance of that system..

Prince popularized the PMC's and took them into the 21st century but the concept had been alive and well in the 90's and before. Companies like Aegis doing all kinds of stuff, from logistics to intell. Before the bubble burst for Prince and he left Blackwater...he wanted to field an entire US modeled heavy brigade with its own armor and aircraft, self sufficient and hireable by anybody.

yah then he had to run out of the us(bit concerned about legal issues) and settled to some, hod on!!! muslim nation, because!hold on again! "less taxes if any", "les sgovt regulation".wanted to start armed fltillas to protect ships from pirates or something.

wow some true patriot.

also shows the hypocrysi and double face of some maslim nations, prince sure as hell is not their best friend.

i have nothing bad to say about the regular us army in the middle and far east btw.

and just for the record in general, i dont care about either economical system, i habe the mindset either adapt or relocate.not overly concerned.
also the book covers the usa for some precise reasons, parts of europe should be somewhat better off.not concerned about myself, just finding it an interesting topic.
