[quote author=Negro_Ntns link=topic=304656.msg4304639#msg4304639 date=1249491570]The End of Imperialism! The UK, for many centuries, trotted round the globe forcing its parliamentary system of government and capitalist economy on natives in different continents.  America is in that same position UK was many years back in the sense that its overbearing power shrinks and to maintain scale of revenue flow, which is dwindled from foreign earnings, it collapses inward on its own citizens. The citizens start to feel what the colonies felt under the imperial power of foreigners.  The fact that the same scheme of subsidy for cash purchase exist in UK does not excuse the practice as anti-capitalism.  Anti-capitalism is reason why Cuba has for many years been economically cordoned off from rest of the global economy. Anti-capitalism is reason why America invaded Panama. Anti-capitalism was used diplomatically and militarily to wage war and destroy societies that supported their own indigenous industries against imposing influx of American corporations on their soil.  Why would America and UK practice, in effect, the very same policies that they advocated against?  Is that not fraudulent?[/quote]While I agree with everyting you mention above. It must also be said that "Anti- capitalist' invasions did not give the ideals of a socialist system any breathing space to evolve as this so called "Western Capitalism" is evolving. This same sentiment was used virtually to destory south american economies during its early stages of democracy by way of the the US interferance using  political sabotage, assasinations and opposition funding in south america.

Many African states have also sufferd this gripping authority which has led to several grotesque policies supported by this system including Apatheid and Privitization schemes to the detriment of the people, This economic imperialism propagated by the west is dependent on the ideals of capitalism as the best system possible in any society without taking into account individaul societies unique history or make up and how well this system can be intergrated into such societies.

Trust me I understand the reasons for capitalist based societies and the issue of Government interferance and control judgng from historical records. However one must take into account the other side of the coin as well.

Which is the overwhelming power these big corporations wield over citizenry not only within but outside of the US  and how it is essential to create equality in the face of such greed and individualistic gluttony seeing that these self created "monsters" do not have overwhelming influence over life and death situations.

If i have to delegate this authority to the government, then I am willing to do so in this instance ( talking about health care).

simple answer

Don't fly them

It is obvious they are playing us for fools knowing we are desperate enought to follow their rules regardless.

JeSoul:
And the march towards socialism continues. Americans are getting exactly what they voted for and hence exactly what they deserve. You cannot vote in a socialist and not expect socialist policies/programs.

I don't see what the gripe is about socialism. America needs to fall into these cycles when necessary.

As if Capitalism does not have its evils.

RSA:
I know Zuma will do something,unlike Mbeki who was raised in exile,he felt he owed everybody something,Zuma owes nobody a dime,and will chase all this illigal people who are tarnishing our country's image.

What's this issue about Mbeki being raised outside of the country? Hmmmm!

I advocate for xenophobia on the Indians and Pakistani's.

Mzanzi! Who's with me!

Next time you people should go burn down the Indian embassy

With their population size compared to Nigerians which is about 1000:1 they don kill una for SA tire, not to talk of Chinese.

But of of course again the Nigerians/Africans will bear the full brunt of xenophobia.

EAZY TARGETS!! don't you think.

I would love to hear from those who have fought valiantly in support of President Obama's stimulus plan. Please enlighten me on why your cousin in the White House is doing this?

CASH FOR CLUNKERS. . .

But first, did anyone see Geithner on abc's This Week? Does the guy suffer from autism or something? He sounded like whining Palin. . , .no sorry, Palin has more testosterone than this guy.

Anyway, why should my tax money subsidize a car purchase that I am not driving?[/quote]It's called Demand Side Stimulus.

The govt can't imagine just giving money out to its citizens . That would be some sort of socialism so why not disguise it in programs such as of "cash for clunkers."

By the way don't worry. They haven't taxed you that money yet but will do so in years to come to recoup so you still have a chance to escape back to Naija to avoid it.
