Capitalism vs. Democracy

Not Quite Yet. 

Don't let this happen.  Vote Democratic in the next election.  Get those Republicans out of The House and out of Congress so that President Obama can get something accomplished.  I think Obama is someone capable of growing and learning.  I'm sure he has learned a lot during his first term and is better equipped to handle his job now.

I think the Fran Lebowitz quote only shows that many, if not most, people consider economics more important than philosophy or their religion.  After all, communism was the state religion.  Money should not be a person's #1 priority in life.  The welfare of people is more important.  The argument can be made that money improves the welfare of people.  But, only if it is at least somewhat evenly distributed, which in the USA it doesn't seem to be.  History shows us that when the gap between the rich and the poor becomes too great, revolution occurs.  (i.e., The French Revolution, the Russian Revolution).

They are PUBLICLY buying democracy." Colbert.

We've been all through this before.
When it's over we will come out stronger.
