Conservative Lunacy and Public Paralysis

18-02-2007 11:19

The Australian Federal Treasurer, Peter (supercilious prick) Costello today impetuously let one cat out of the (tactics) bag! Responding to a question relating to the economy, Costello took the opportunity to state that “the people wouldn’t trust their mortgages to the opposition party or to the leader of the opposition”.

The conservatives are the problem not the solution.

Capitalism and Corruption

11-02-2007 13:53

Until recently, the bribes paid by German firms abroad were deducted from the corporation tax as operating expenses.. The neoliberal dogma doesn't need any religion any more since it makes capitalism itself into a religion.. The cult of abstract riches cannot replace morality.. In structural over-accumulation, surplus capital presses on the finance markets. Mergers and takeovers become central.
