The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Please tell me where you found this "democratic capitalism" , it certainly doesn't exist anywhere I've worked. 21st Century Socialism is making progress in some of the countries , south of the border. They are on a difficult path towards a better worker controlled future while we and much of the world cling to a degenerate system. Capitalism guarantees that Democracy will be controlled and neutered and the few wealthy and powerful will decide what freedoms we enjoy. If you believe we live in a Democracy just because we parrot some of the functions of democracy, like voting for leaders chosen by the elite, you are truly deluded.

Seconded. If Peter is against democratic capitalism, what does he have that is better? Certainly not socialism; that has failed time and again.

I guess I need to retract my statement about Warren Buffet and the ACA, it was unverified propaganda and we see too much of that from many sources. I do wonder why something like this Repug SNAP bill causes such an uproar since it has zero chance of becoming law. The law we will get will be a compromise with more modest cuts with bipartisan support and some will call it a victory for the poor. The real tragedy here isn't that there will be modest cuts to the SNAP program but that the program has doubled in size since the Great Crash. This is just a symptom of our sick Capitalist system's inability to create decent jobs and keep people off of relief. The outrage and hysteria shown by some people on this issue and the national debt may provide useful talking points for the next election but it will do nothing to stop the spreading rot that our Capitalist Masters believe we deserve.

Do you really believe she added anything of value with this comment, other than insulting other contributors who might want to offer a different perspective?

What are the Republican

In reply to Anyone who disagrees with you

What are the Republican solutions to the problems? All we have heard is that they don't want to do what Obama thinks we should do Oh and that Republicans want to keep minorities from voting.
