D. Long: you said:
The state still controls
major industries, the state subsidizes favored major corporations owned by friends of
politicians while making it virtually impossible for small business to operate.

Perfect definition of capitalism practiced in the United States - several major corporations controlled by politicians via lobbying, making it IMPOSSIBLE FOR SMALL BUSINESS TO OPERATE. Subsidies favor those controlling corporations.

I wouldn't call what is practiced in the unied states democracy either; we never "had" russia, just like we nevr "had" china nor any other country; and we are losing our own country.

Spectacular elite -- look at washington and the moguls in the media with their offshore condos in Belize, money offshire at the Caymans; bureaucrat friends blah blah. Your post had proved the point that what we now hav in the united states is indistinguishable from other corrupt forms of government.

As you can tell, I disagree with the intent of your post, but do agree it defines and describes very well with the present situation in the states.

It would take alot more than rhetoric to have me see the view you take. I base my opinions and obervations on what is being done, what has been done and what the consequences will be. I include the reports from outside the United States as well prior to making any decision or basis for my arguments.

Gotta go clean the house. Jacalyn
