2009: The War on Capital(ism) Must Be Stopped

Confusing piece of writing. The author is spot on when he describes the Republicans as guilty in eroding personal liberties by overseeing "an historic advance in the police state." The first place one needs to look at for proof is the Patriot Act.

But how does a migration towards a more European model mean an erosion of liberties? Because most of the European states have universal health care? On the contrary, their industries are able to better compete without the burden of funding health care. Their people are not impoverished when illness strikes. Free from the worry of high-priced, mediocre health care. Sounds pretty liberating to me.
