I realize that I am not the brightest crayon in the box and many of you agree with me but I find this funny. I think that republicans and democrats may also find humor in this as well. The funny part is at the end.

Fox news does report the truth at times but are the democrats willing to listen?

Do you think that this girl has a point? Her point is that if you guys think that her getting naked is the most important thing in this video, then we are all in big trouble. and yes she does take them all off.

@reasoning logic,
rl knows how to get me to watch one of his vid. selections.

But I must say that the lady seems to be quite ashamed of her primary and secondary sexual characteristics which is quite surprising considering some of the ladies I have seen.

It's a nose pressed against the candy shop window job.

I think that she was more interested in getting people to understand the term "starving the beast" Than she was at revealing her beastly qualities.
Thom Hartmann did a nice video about a year ago on the subject.

@reasoning logic,
Gr8 video RL.

I wasn't sure where to put this info. It's been a long time coming, for mine.

Major Banks, Governmental Officials and Their Comrade Capitalists Targets of Spire Law Group, LLP's Racketeering and Money Laundering Lawsuit Seeking Return of $43 Trillion to the United States Treasury

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Spire Law Group, LLP's national home owners' lawsuit, pending in the venue where the "Banksters" control their $43 trillion racketeering scheme (New York) - known as the largest money laundering and racketeering lawsuit in United States History and identifying $43 trillion ($43,000,000,000,000.00) of laundered money by the "Banksters" and their U.S. racketeering partners and joint venturers - now pinpoints the identities of the key racketeering partners of the "Banksters" located in the highest offices of government and acting for their own self-interests.

"Nice" is quite appropriate. The spiel avoids the question of the alternatives. There is an argument that oligarchal government is best. I'm not making it here btw. I am simply pointing out that there is an argument to that effect which is not addressed in the video. The blase assumption that it is bad represents a non sequitur. Such an assumption rests on envy.

Veblen argues in Absentee Ownership that the situation described in the short video, in exceedingly general terms, is inevitable from the Constitutional provision that property is inviolate except by due process. And due process in that regard is in the hands of the same people Mr Hartmann is complaining about. (I recommend Veblen's book to those with more than a passing interest in these matters. Veblen came from a farming background in Wisconsin.)

In many respects we are now, through pensions, insurance provisions and military expenditures and whatnot, all absentee owners and need to decide who is to manage our assets.

The repetition of the idea that "there are more of us than there are of them" hints at mob rule.

spendius I am sure that there are supporters for any cause that can be dreamed up.

@reasoning logic,
There are no intelligent supporters of granting integrity or worth to considerations deriving from consuming, and encouraging others to consume, items of entertainment which purport to examine complex systems of finance and industry in 11 minute videos.

Mr Hartmann is not even up for comparing the confiscatory processes he is to be seen holding forth about to those of a highwayman, who at least risked his own life in the endeavour. If you like soundbite economics try that one.

You should consider reading the book I recommended if you really wish to know anything worth bothering about regarding these matters. I will admit that a first reading might leave you in that condition Bugs Bunny sometimes depicted on looking at himself in the mirror when in a mesmerised condition.

One might say that we are being robbed blind by fiendishly clever mathematical procedures, taught at our expense, in the absence of which a national health service is easily affordable and probably free beer as well.

As long as we could find a way of organising things in another way. After the Captains of Industry, the Captains of Finance and the Captains of Consumer Grooming the Captains of Integrity and Honest Dealing.

Will you explain how to bring such paragons of virtue to the head of affairs. If you can't my advice is to swallow it whole and count the blessings the aforesaid trinity of Captains have delivered into your insatiable lap. The Cof IHD is unknown in evolution.

It cant be all that important of a movie or it would be given away for free or even better yet mailed to people in the mail.

I don't know. I personally think economics are the stupidest thing to ever be invented...

However I have heard various people who are more interested in economics than I suggesting that there have been several economic warning signs occuring within America that generally tend to come before extreme economic difficulty.

Personally I'm going to just have to wait and see, but it is certainly a worrying concern.



That all could turn around with another stimulus package, enough money to fix the crumbling infrastructure and roads, especially since borrowed money has such a low interest rate.
