Definitely we are on the verge of that socialized Capitalism you mentioned...lol....but really. And in time, maybe when I'm eighty, it'll come crashing down- or that's my guess anyway.

The dawn of Kafkaesque socialized Capitalism began back at the turn of the century when the income tax was first made permanent- or earlier. Do you know that Democrats arguing against the notion that income taxes were unconstitutional- an argument that had won the day time and again in congress for decades- stated that the tiny flat rate tax(less than 1%) would be enough to take care of all the needy, and besides, they said, if it ever got so high as even 10% flat rate, the public would riot in the streets. Republicans bought this and Fed. Income Tax was passed, finally. GEEZ!

Is this the dawn of some kind of Kafkaesque "socialized capitalism" or are the supporters of Bill Clinton and his shamed legacy just so two faced that they post here to keep the propaganda mill primed? Is this the dawn of some kind of Kafkaesque "litigation state" or are the detractors of Bill Clinton and their shamed legacy just so two-faced that they post here to keep the propoganda mill primed? Just because someone doesn't agree with your views on Clinton and the impeachment hearings does not necessarily mean they are a harbinger of some new ideology or conspiring with the White House. Do you realize that in every poll conducted since this whole thing began, 2/3 of the public say they don't want Clinton impeached? Don't believe in polls? What about the elections? What did that say about the public's view on this process? What about the stock market? Everyone here follows the markets. Look at every significant event that has taken place in the impeachment process than go to the Dow or the S&P 500 and observe what happens. The Clinton-haters are ramming this thing down the country's throats. They will pay dearly for it come November 2000.
