<<<Your kind are preventing a return to principles that have stood the test of experience.>>>>

My kind huh? Oh bull is all I can say. It is not my kind - it is those that have allowed our political system to be controlled by money. The laws increasingly favor those in power and be damned the individual that believes in capitalism. Today, China, is a far better example of capitalism than America is. Whether it is oil giants, corporate farms, investment bankers or the pharmaceutical giants - they have all fooled a gullible American public into thinking that they represent some sort of old "good" way. Well they don't! They represent a favored few who have climbed in bed with politicians - from both sides. This global corporate consortium have in place laws that increasingly favor them - something warned long ago by Eisenhower as the military industrial complex. And America that spends as much as the rest of the world on military adventurism now boos a candidate for president because he wants to decrease this out of control military spending. Well I might not be a good Austrian, but I do favor smaller government - (start with the rights creation; Homeland Security) and a vastly smaller military. If you think that because I don't want to hand the reins so that corporate America gets even MORE powerful makes me some anti-Austrian, then I'm okay with that. This labeling of Americans is just about the ugliest thing imaginable to do to fellow citizens.
