Society cannot survive for profit everything

[malaise]

That is about consumption, not the development and survival of community.
Organized religion and its leaders, corporations, politicians and the hierarchies of elite and indeed state universities as well as schools have fucked up this planet.

It's time to begin the purge and bury every idea and action associated with Reagan and Thatcher.

their Savior is the Invisible Hand.

2. Hey, I saw all four mad max films.

It is very apparent to me that the 1 percent always will come out on top.

3. Hear, hear! It's time for the Gimme More Than Everyone Else genes to be extracted out of

our species.

5. Start by exposing Ayn Rand...

... for the diseased sociopath she was. Her perverted bumper-sticker "philosophy," as elucidated in her bloated third-rate novels, has provided conservatives with bullshit rationalizations for pathological selfishness and unbridled malice toward those less fortunate for far, FAR too long.

Someone who loathed altruism in any and every form, as Alisa Rosenbaum (Rand's real name) did, does not deserve so much as a molecule of admiration.

BTW, Alan Greenspan was a devoted acolyte of Rand's. Do the math. Then toss "objectivism" back into the cesspool that spawned it.

10. It can't survive for profit anything.

[Atman]

11. Sadly, that is where we are heading.

For-profit highways. For-profit health care. For-profit prisons. That is the thinking behind privatizing Social Security...if there is a pool of money sitting there, someone should be taking it! Fuck the common good. Common good is for suckers. Take it all, take it fast, take it now! Then build a wall to keep the riff-raff out, from trying to take back what was once theirs.

14. Yep loot the seniors

who paid in in good faith - I hate these fuckers.

[Atman]

15. I paid into "the system" my whole fucking life.

I turn 57 next week. FUCK YOU, says Paul Ryan. FUCK YOU, says Eduardo. FUCK YOU. I'm going to take all that money that you paid and I'm going to use it for more wars and shit. FUCK YOU.

18. But they'll put you in prison if you owe dem a dime

Seriously where are the Courts on this attempt at mass theft

[seanjoycek476]

13. Very true

Just look at our healthcare system vs every other industrialized nation.

[Visionary]

16. +∞

Yep. Look at what for profit institutions have done to this country. We have for profit prisons(gotta fill em up with drug offenders), for profit higher education leaving students with massive debt, for profit health care which can wipe out the entire net worth of a family if one bad illness strikes.

Not saying that all profit driven business is bad, but it should probably be kept out of certain areas of the community.

[liberal_at_heart]

17. agreed.
