Dear Reader,
It seems to me that in the present debate about the economy real Capitalist thought has no seat at the table.
The Legislative Branch is firmly in the hands of the more socialistic of the two major parties and apparently, (according to the “unbiased” media), gaining ground in the next election . And moreover that party will have a filibuster and veto proof majority.
The “unbiased” media has lurched leftward, like a zombie, and are ‘en masse’ staggering that direction. The foolish witticism of the day is “ Is this the end of capitalism?” As if that were possible. Even where capitalism has been discouraged the most, North Korea, there is some vestiges of capitalism. Some people sell , under the table, some of the food they grow. Everyone wants to get ahead, so until the Elite figure out a way to erase this attribute from the human race, they will have to make contingencies… Capitalism.
Even the media is recognizing the bias. On McNeil Lehrer Report last night they reported that some people have the misguided notion that there are more ‘negative’ stories about McCain than Obama. In fact it was reported that 80% of the news items about Obama were ‘positive’ and only 20% of the news items about McCain were ‘positive’. They then went on to assure the viewers that they were not in fact biased at all. They were only mirroring the public poll numbers. For a week after the Republican Convention the press apparently had more ‘positive’ stories about McCain than Obama. Then they spent the remainder of their important time on the air… ridiculing Sara Palin’s wardrobe budget.
The people who brought us the economic disaster, staggering gas prices, loss of home values, and the “bailout” are benefiting and those that fought them are being vanquished. The “Bailout” has amounted to exactly what I thought it would… to punish the virtuous, reward the corrupt and pour more fuel on the fire.
With this as the present paradigm, the prospect of capitalist ideas being brought up is unlikely, let alone, being implemented… Unless the unbiased media is wrong?
