A lot of truth in this editorial.

Recent studies show that Americans are more dependent than ever on government — the biggest threat to their freedom of all. According to the Tax Foundation, 60% of households in America in 2004 received more in benefits and services from government than they paid in taxes. Under President Obama's massive spending hikes, that will soon rise to 70% or more.

Capitalism is alive and well. The author needs to interview the wealth holders in America and around the world and ask them if they lack private ownership of capital and land.

Capitalism is alive and well and serving its masters as they use the bounty of capitalism to buy up Unions and Politicians.

The real story is: So Long to Liberty - And Then Some!

Referenced article...from Pravda of all places!
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.

That's just the first paragraph of the article. They could at least take the Tea Party into consideration.

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.

I have died and am living in Socialist hell when Pravda speaks, literally, the truth.

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.

Pass the Victory Gin, we've always been at war with Eastasia.

As a result of the state's creeping hegemony, the republic we inherited and the unalienable rights we were guaranteed have never been more threatened.
Brother, you said a mouthful!

In Pravda, of all places. And Pravda is right to focus on the fact that the American people are willing accomplices. They still have this fantasy that they can get more and more government goodies without working and have “the rich” pay for them.

There was one libtard I met who used the words “capitalist fascism”

I tried to explain the oxymoron but it just wouldn’t sink in.

This is what we’re dealing with on a massive scale and it won’t let up until the dumb are removed from the political process...which is never.
