#1 Ralph Schoenman == A peacenik so odious not even his girlfriend Bertrand Russel could stand him.

Even the Iranians kicked his ass out of Iran after the revolution.

#2 Schoenman's yet another drooling Old Lefty who's still waiting for an American socialist revolutionary vanguard for him to stand at the front of. That being said, I'd still like to see the Trunks take more notice of Sarah Palin's critique of crony capitalism:

This is not the capitalism of free men and free markets, of innovation and hard work and ethics, of sacrifice and of risk...its the collusion of big government and big business and big finance to the detriment of all the rest to the little guys. Its a slap in the face to our small business owners the true entrepreneurs, the job creators accounting for 70 percent of the jobs in America.

I don't like Dodd-Frank, and I definitely don't like Obamacare. But I wouldn't mind seeing Glass-Steagall resurrected, and for damn sure I'd love to see Goldman Sachs smashed into a thousand pieces and scattered to the winds, its executives perp-walked into Supermax cells.

#3 The leftists alternate between "We've got to vote for the socialists!" and then "Both sides are too beholden to their corporatist masters!" when socialism turns out _exactly_ the way everyone from Bastiat through Hayek to Friedman says it does.

#4 Do not fall into that Glass-Steagall idiocy.

Your idiot government is the reason things are "outsourced". Even the CEO of America "Outsourced" the elections to Spain.

Banks are a by-product of the forced environment of political profiteering.

#6 The Donks are not about NASCAR. Their hearts and ideology are just not there. They need to continue on with their snobbish, snotty, elitist jerk Hollywood $40K/plate dinners and $3 raffles for the "little people". They need to continue on with their solicitation of money, boodle, wedding presents, silverware, china, birthday presents, heirlooms, jewelery, etc. Maybe they should stand at the border and charge so much a head for illegal immigrants as they head north.

#7 Glass Steagall works, but not the way it's described, and not efficiently either.

It merely prevents Credit looping up. Reserve Requirements (%age of deposit not re-lent out) work better at this than bureaucracy.

#8 Banks and corporations are doing their politically-aided best to wring as much money as possible out of those with either incomes or assets.
