Who is RT?
Rattler, I certainly hope so. I've been following the occupy news from TYT for a while now and I'm pulling for some major changes.And so on, and so on, it seems that people bit by bit wake up and realize how they are getting pulled over the table by people they did not even elect, this movement will grow and not go away, I am sure.
Russian Tv,.
that's the problem with bailouts, instead of liquidating the failed Banks & having the survivors that were more responsible grow, the taxpayer funds the pay, perks & other things that should have gone away with the bankruptcy. There is a need for commercial banks that only do business loans & financial banks that invest in other things, with no cross polinaization & no guarantees for the financial banks. But if the young dupes think they are better off under a noncapitalist system they've been drinking the Kool-Ade too long.
We don't live in a captialist system anymore, we live in a corporatist economy, they are not the same, and this change started decades ago.
We have unfortunatly a highly distorted system That is getting way to close to socialism than is good for it. Not advocating a return to Lazie Faire(sp?) persay but the best would be simular to the traffic police, the Lsaws are set & the Cops generally stay in the background unless someone really screws up. The free market typically is best @ determing what will work, vs command decisions by Govt. the Obama decision that "Green" is the future & his attempts to force it are a total failure. No politician in high govt Office should be allowed positions in private companies. Paying/not paying a bonus does/doesn't determine weather a compny is "Evil" or not. In the case of Chrysler & GM Obama not only bailed them out but he violated Contract Law ripping off the bond holders(secured creditors) & then giving control to the Unions(unsecured debt holders) a socialist maneuver. the bailout so far has cost taxpayers billions in losses.Problem is politics. Politicians are supposed to make laws to regulate business and protect the consumer. I don't know how it is in other countries but in Belgium many (all?) politicians have a seat in big corporations and they do not want to lose their pay so bankruptcy is not an option.
But not all corporations are evil. In Spain the retail store Mercadona pays out a part of the profit to it's employees. Last year each one of them got about $3.000 extra.
Yessir!
Sgt. Shamar Thomas, you are the stuff!
Rattler
EDIT: Interesting interview with him:

Problem is politics. .
Ooooh,.... I can feel the disapproving stares of the extreme right wing members here.
All of you Commies and socialists who believe this stuff,... Ooooh,... not good, not good at all,.... what's going on here, are we all turning into mad bombers and anarchists?
No doubt your names are all being scribbled in little black books somewhere, the "spooks" will be steaming open your mail as I speak.
How dare you tell the Big End of town that they've got it wrong,...:-D
Politics is only a problem so long as there are people who propagate the problems, because they won't dare speak out against the things they know are wrong. People who are too scared of being accused of being Commos and socialists and any of a dozen other derogatory terms used with no other reason than to stop people telling the truth.
