THOUGHT FOR THE DAY!

"Imperialism today is taking place in the context of...the 'universalization' of capitalism. It is not now primarily a matter of territorial conquest or direct military or colonial control. It is not now a matter of capitalist powers invading non-capitalist powers in order to bleed them dry directly and by brute force. Now it is more a matter of ensuring that the forces of the capitalist market prevail in every corner of the world (even if this means marginalizing and impoverishing parts of it), and of manipulating those market forces to the advantage of the most powerful capitalist economies and the United States in particular." ... "Military force is still central to the imperialist project, in some ways more than ever."-- Political scientist Ellen Meiksins-Wood, Z magazine Nov 1999, p26

 

HAPPY 'KICK OUT THE GOVERNMENT' DAY!!!

 

Two weeks after AIG bailout, execs party in style (!!!)

Financial crisis? What financial crisis?

Less than two weeks after Uncle Sam gave American International Group (AIG) an $85 billion loan - staving off financial collapse - execs from one of its insurance subsidiaries, AIG American General, gathered for a conference at the uber-swank St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort, billed as “California’s only Mobil Travel Guide Five-Star Resort,” where ocean-view rooms start at $565 a night and “world class luxury” is the rule.

I couldn't stand looking at pictures of that dump!

poorrichard

The creeps that ran AIG into the ground should be in orange jumpsuits with a cattle prod up their butts.. Telling the American taxpayer what really happened, and Who is to blame.

Anyone of these creeps should loose everything they ever thought that owned, and be forced to give it back to the U.S. government.

Let them live out of their cars, and have to fight for a place in line for the food stamps.. Let them get beat up by the cops because they are homeless.

Instead of this, you see the opulence and privilege in which they are living.. It makes me want to puke!
