Crony capitalism is the most serious current danger to the American community, a threat not simply to government or the economy, but to our very way of life.

Personally, the most dangerous thing I see threatening Capitalism these days are blanket statements about aspects of Capitalism. There have always been bad players. There will always be bad players. The idea one whole sector is bad, or everyone in Washington is bad as it relates to Capitalism, is goofy.

The Left is doing it's damnedest to destroy Capitalism. They forced bad loans on lending institutions, and are still doing it. So do we address the bad policies of the government and the bad actions of bad players, or do we make blanket statements?

Wall Street, lending institutions, banks, and corporations are all being focused on right now, and many on the right (or more accurately fancy themselves to be on the right), have revealed themselves to be perfectly willing to carry the Leftist water in their zeal to get those bad guys.

Right here on this forum we've got folks making blanket statements about Banks, lending institutions, Wall Street, Corporations... and on it goes. Folks, who needs Leftists if we're going to destroy these institutions of Capitalism for them? What the hell is going on with some of you?

Bank of American had to settle another suit last week for $300 plus million, because it had denied loans to people in problematic areas. Of course all the victims were Black or of Hispanic background. No White were harmed in the creating of these charges...

Leftists are gaming us right now, and we're falling for it lock stock and barrel.

We should go after bad players and defend the system. Without the Capitalist pillars, we'll be no better off than Russia in short order. Please quit playing the Left's game by their rules.

Throwing out all the politicians would be akin to arresting all the drug mules. The cartels simply recruit a new crop.

They steal tax money, pass it out to their people, and then advertise that they’re brilliant intellectuals who made their money by thoughtful, good investments.

Absolute, low-life scu&bags, one and all.

IMHO

My suggestion...leading to term limits.

2013 thru 2016; Congress, both houses, works in session only 9 months per year @ 75% of current pay.

2017 & 2018; Congress, both houses, works in session only 6 months per year @ 50% of current pay.

2019 and on; Congress, both houses, works in session only 4 months per year @ 50% of current pay which will equal a pay raise from 2018.

THIS will naturally term-limit both houses, sooner than later!

Annual increases will only come based on the SAME COLA formula that Social Security recipients get. AND, in fact, ALL government employees' pay increases should be limited to the same COLA formula that Social Security recipients receive.

Further, ALL government employees, when the Congressional plan is implemented, should get a one time 5% across the board pay reduction for the years 2013 thru 2016 and another one time pay reduction for years 2017 and on. BUT, these reductions would be offset by whatever amount results from the same COLA formula used for Social Security recipients.

“The legacy media, for some obscure reason, tends to bury discussions...”

Oh my gosh, why would a $20 million-per year news anchor bury a story about “crony capitalism” ...because they’re just like us?

The author is a bit behind on the learning curve.

And it’s not crony capitalism, it’s crony federalism. Capitalism is not the mechanics of the corruption. Rather it is the selective use of government regulations, contracts and enforcement which is the mechanics of the cronyism. Ergo it is crony federalism.
