KASS Quote of the Day: A Self-Endangered Species Submitted by Bravest Man in ... on Sun, 2008-10-12 22:13.
"Businessmen are the one group that distinguishes capitalism and the American way of life from the totalitarian statism that is swallowing the rest of the world. All the other social groups - workers, farmers, professional men, scientists, soldiers - exist under dictatorships, even though they exist in chains, in terror, in misery, and in progressive self-destruction. But there is no such group as businessmen under a dictatorship. Their place is taken by armed thugs: by bureaucrats and commissars. Businessmen are the symbol of a free society - the symbol of America. If and when they perish, civilization will perish." Ayn Rand

I am I suppose.
K-A, did you say America is the only country workingtowards capitalism. Yes. Callum
I would say if you look at most things this is a small event when the most part they are OK. Also I was carefull to say towards. See they are the leaders so they have to keep a few things working in the mean time. Its a bit hard to explain.
Scary in NZ I need to reiterate, We have to clean our system up.
K-A, did you say America is
K-A, did you say America is the only country working towards capitalism? Judging by the current financial crisis, its causes (credit expansion caused by the Fed) and supposed "solutions" ($700 billion bailout), America is definitely not working towards capitalism.
That being said, few other places in the world are.
"Socialism may be dead, but its corpse is still rotting up the place." -Ayn Rand
Stupid socialist NZ government, Australia and Europe
I agree.
America seems to be the only country working towards capitalism. I would be happy for NZ to be a state of USA or if not can we adopt a libertarian type system here.
Wouldn't that make a splendid corporate gift
Framed just like it is. A gift to the Labour Party, The Greens, The Maori Party to name but a few.
