Anarchist "Nobody owes anybody anything" O'Reilly claims America is being "fully employed"

America has full employment right now. A tax hike might stop that in its tracks.

The redistribution of wealth in America, also by higher taxation for corporations and the affluent. This would result in assets being moved offshore to places like Curacao, which ironically far left financier George Soros has a base.


Read the full article for more bloviating bafflegab. But, one way or the other, if we're seeing assets moved offshore, why is it going to stop and what does Bill have to say about that pesky national debt?

1. Seen the home foreclosure rate, Bill? We've already redistributed income. America knows it.
That's why Bush has a 23 percent rating on the economy. He has been an enormous success - in driving wealth to the top one-tenth of one percent.

Which, after all, was one of his very top goals, along with invading Iraq and destroying the New Deal.

Two out of three ain't bad, Georgie, and you're not done yet.

8. Mr. Natural! Hey, don't give it up yet.
Geez, I'm an AARPer myself, and I for one am going down swinging, because there's too many who have fought too hard to just give it up for George W. Bush. You can do the list yourself, but I feel an obligation to carry on until the bitter end, no matter how bitter it has all gotten.

4. 'government subsidy', you mean? Yup.
SMBs are far more deserving than the likes of McDonalds, Microsoft, et cetera, who are getting quite a free ride from tax dollars. Especially Microsoft, a company people think is ran by a deity on earth. If that's true, why does the company still take a penny from taxpayers? They certainly don't need our help anymore.

6. right on
the people who love to tout "capitalism and free enterprise" fail to recognize that monsters like these big guys are practicing no such thing. And, when pressed, most of the RW capitalista types I talk to will just get down right obtuse in their arguments.

How much are we still handing out to the oil companies for crying out loud? We're paying $3.00+ a gallon at the pump while the oilcompanies are making obscene, record profits and Fat Bastard walks away with a $400 million retirement package. I can see no reason whatsoever for such an enterprise to receive one dime of public monies...:mad:

7. Where's the "anarchist" part?
As an Anarchist, I see nothing remotely anarchistic about what the boob wrote.
