You're probably more correct than he would ever admit. I feel it to be
a kind of duty to point out that his posts are little more than ignorant
propaganda supporting a venomous philosophy based on envy. I may be
wasting my time by responding, but I view it in a somewhat similar vein
to the notion that evil will triumph if good men sit passively.


You feel duty bound to lie?


You're standing on your head, pointing at me and claiming that I'm the one who is upside down; not a particularly illuminating situation. If you can find a single lie in any post I've ever made to this or any other forum, I'll surrender and never bother you again. Either you don't know the meaning of the word "lie" or you're simply grasping at straws; I'm guessing both.


As for your oracular wisdom, if you
haven't yet noticed all of your posts just contain the same hackneyed
right wing propaganda fed to the bulk of the Western population
everyday without the slightest hint of critical thought.


<chuckle> That should read:

Marxists everyday without the slightest hint of critical thought." - Briarroot to the phony "Ngo"


Evil will
most certainly triumph if "good men [not women - do they belong in the
house?] sit passively" - as illustrated by the current financial
crisis.


"Mankind" consists of two genders - or did the last time I checked. It isn't necessary to spell out each one every time one mentions the whole.


Or not, given that the "good men" were also busy lining their
pockets at the expense of the American taxpayer who has to foot the
stimulus package.


It's the business of all men to satisfy their self-interest; that holds for bankers as much as it does for ditch diggers. As far as the so-called Stimulus Package, I am very much *not* in favor of any such thing. In fact, were I in charge, no bank or investment house would have been "rescued" by Federal funds either. I think a good dose of short-term severe depression is preferable to a bad dose of long-term recession along with further damage to that already beleaguered document, the US Constitution. Unfortunately, Comrade Obama didn't ask for my opinion when he dumped that monstrosity on our children's children.


Also, if you haven't noticed, it is the very
unregulated and corrupt system that has caused the current mess to
come about!


Not surprisingly, your understanding of economics is as feeble as your grasp of history. There is no single person, group or institution to blame for the current recession, but those *most* responsible are the Federal regulators who over the decades since 1933, have saddled banking and investment firms with a byzantine labyrinth of rules and regulations having more to do with garnering votes than with fiscal responsibility.


Greed is most certainly not good,


One mark of your kind is that you label everyone *else's* natural desire to satisfy their self-interest as "greed" while simultaneously labeling your own desire for control as "public interest." It's abundantly clear in every word that you post, that your *real* desire is to punish those for whom you feel nothing but envy.


especially when filthy
rich (unaccountable) bankers repackage shoddy mortgages and hock them
off at a profit!


And such mortgages were not only guaranteed by institutions of the US government, the banks that lent the money were *threatened* by politicians if they did not acquiesce to making sub-prime loans. It's not the "filthy rich" who at bottom of this debacle, it's the plain old, garden variety politician who's responsible. But of course, you Marxists wouldn't even *think* of blaming the people's representatives, would you? Noooo. It's got to be those "filthy rich." <chuckle>


As for where that hard earned taxpayer money went to,
it appears that banks which received bail-out money spent $1.6bn on
bonuses in 2007 - I thought money was supposed to reward success,
rather than failure? Isn't this the very antithesis of capitalism?


You don't know what you're talking about. (I should make that boilerplate for each response to you). A contract is a contract and woe betide the nation that abrogates contracts, willy-nilly, to please the mob.


As is your want, I think I will finish with a quote:


"Read my lips!"
