    No, finance capitalism is part of the productive process - via services rendered. It might have gotten ahead of itself, but then that's why there is a correction.

  2. I don't understand why few people acknowledge in the slightest that these problems were mostly caused by uncontrolled federal deficit spending. Our gov't will, within about a decade, have a 10 to 1 or more ratio of debt to tax income. That is not sustainable. It's like the hypocrisy of someone making 100K trying to afford a 1milion dollar home. Oh wait, the result of someone trying to afford a home well over their income level seems to ring a bell...

    Very true....But the manufacturing base must be established in a competitive manner....

    This requires for the finance portion....the politicos.....and most importantly....changes in the tax structure....

    Of course they are all in the game....

    There cannot be just a partial solution....

    Especially the politicos which are 80% of the problem....

    I am sure random capital will tell you it is jefferson. I am equally sure he will have trouble proving jefferson was for a progressive income tax.

    although he will try make the analogy from quotes being made property tax.
