It seems to me that you keep changing lanes.

The government buys for the government, the private sector buys for the private sector.

What's your point, or don't you have one?

Every successive post you produce comes off more and more like there's a meth head sitting at your keyboard.

When capitalism means starting up businesses, providng people with gainful employment and charging fair prices for products and services, then it's a good thing. But when capitalism becomes a vehicle for greed, when capitalist pay employees as d*mn little as they can get away with, then gouging away that little bit in the form of rent, food or medicine at impossibly high prices, when capitalism keeps pushing the working classes to the brink of starvation and homelessness, then the old survival instinct kicks and takes over. Out of sheer desperation, people will turn to anything they believe will save their lives and the lives of their loved ones. Look at each revolution throughout history, the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the o*******w of Russian and Chinese empires, and you'll find the same common denominator: at some point people decided that the only way to survive was to rebel against the status quo. Sometimes a democracy was formed, sometimes, Marxism and eventually C*******m took root. Now, I'm not saying that I WANT that to happen. I DON'T want to see this country go Socialist or C*******t, but if Corporate America keeps on crushing people underfoot, the very same people who make Capitalism possible by working for it and buying from it, sooner or later, the working classes will decide that enough is enough and BAM!!! No more capitalism and I won't be around to say that I told you so.

COOL ENVIRONMENT?!!! When was the last time that YOU worked in a fast food restaurant? And you ARE aware, aren't you, that those jobs are PART TIME ONLY?!! Now, that's fine if you're still living at home with mommy and daddy and all you need is a little extra soda pop money now and then, or if you're a student working your way through college, but try living on that when your rent alone is around $1'500.00 dollars a month and there's nothing left for food, clothing, healthcare and, of course, you can forget about saving up for your kids' college funds or your own retirement. The major fast food companies, such as McDonald's, are multibillion-dollar, worldwide companies, so don't tell me that they can't afford to hire full-time employees and pay them wages that they and their families can actually live on!
