50-year-old CARTOON TRIED TO WARN US

dannnynieves Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - The real people of the "capital generating persuasion" the top 1% are making more money today than the Robber Barron's of the late 19th & early 20th century. Mitt Romney did not want to show his tax forms because he did not want people to know that his tax rate was only 15%. Romney also did not want people to know that he was keeping his money in Swiss banks and in the Cayman Islands just like right wing dictators and the mafia does. Suffer, talk that crap to the Paulbots.

Mar 10, 2012 - : Mitt Romney generates nothing--he's just another political tick in human form. His net worth is hugely inflated by the popular media--he's worth about 2.5 million in real financial terms. Ron Paul is worth his weight in gold because of HOW he made his money--bringing life into the world, and enhancing it. He's a CONTRIBUTOR, and our next president.

Think4Thyself Says:

Mar 10, 2012 - No, it's happening anywhere capitalism is prevalent. Industry is not being crushed by labor unions. It's been taken over by corporate greed that will stop at nothing. Ron Paul is a career politician. Do you really think he is going to change anything? No, a victory for him would just be icing on his political cake and you would have just another do-nothing president. Thank goodness he has no chance of winning.

Mar 13, 2012 - @buzzclick500 @Think4Thyself I like an idea of employee-owned enterprises, everybody has vested interests and incentive, thus is fully engaged in the outcome that benefits the community as well as an individual within that community that form this enterprise. Socially conscious and responsible capitalism. I think it is a good idea and a way forward. What are your thoughts ?

LeftiesWillRule Says:

Mar 18, 2012 - I'd like to hark back to a Rush song from 1978 called Hemispheres. It stresses the importance of balance in society and though it was referring to a balance between arts and the sciences it can also apply to a balance between government control and corporate control. The cartoon here preaches against the government control but fails to emphasize the dangers of extreme capitalism. This is why America runs on a partially socialist economy: there are certain things we shouldn't trust to either side

jcline9244 Says:

Mar 20, 2012 - Can you give us one example of extreme capitalism without 1: lying and 2 Making an idiot of yourself ? for every zero examples you give on Capitalism I can give you ten reasons why socialism is evil , has been a caused of genocide and just plain kills people ....c'mon smart guy stick a spoon in your mush , stir it around and give us an example ...

jcline9244 Says:

Mar 20, 2012 - The Philosophy of Charles De Montesqiue and John Locke summed up in a compact entertaining cartoon from the 50's ...we knew then that Socialism sucks and socialists are zero's ...Eugene McCarthy was 100% correct ,,the minority of Communists occupying our shores don't belong in America ....If their Lord and master FDR could inter the Japanese American people when we were attacked bu Japan , Surely we shall be able to inter the American Socialist when the Communist attacks ..

LeftiesWillRule Says:

Mar 20, 2012 - I certainly can't give you an example from America because we run somewhere between complete capitalism and socialism, but I can't wait to hear your examples on how socialism kills people. I do hope your definition of socialism is the same as mine, because the way you describe it makes it sound like you think socialism = systematic murder of rich people

mikedonn71 Says:

Apr 3, 2012 - In the 50s, when this cartoon was made, were federal income taxes greater or lesser than today? By how much?

mikedonn71 Says:

Apr 3, 2012 - In the 50s, the richest Americans paid 90% of their incomes in federal tax. Not paying off the war debt was considered unpatriotic. Under Bush, the GOP cut taxes and borrowed from Red China to finance the optional and unnecessary Iraq war. Republicans lie.

GuardianOfWhatsRight Says:

Apr 20, 2012 - Problem with this today. In the 50s Capitalism allowed corporations to build and grow stronger making more jobs for Americans. However, most major corporations now send all their jobs overseas and find ways to skip out on paying much of their taxes; creating less jobs here in America (hurting our economy as a whole) and giving the government less revenue (hurting its ability to look after our citizens). I'm not saying that this is the only reason our economy sucks right now, but its part of it.

rebelgamer Says:

Apr 23, 2012 - "When anybody tries to pit one of us against the other, through class warfare, race hatred, or religious intolerance. You know that person seeks to rob us of our freedom and destroy our very lives."Class warfare, race hatred, and religious intolerance... Huh, it sounds almost EXACTLY like what is happening in the United States today.

Apr 27, 2012 - The world is going to hell.

mkoijnbhuism Says:

Apr 28, 2012 - It is, and Obama needs it to win. But with Mitt Romney not being any better than Obama and the rest of the candidates, with the rest of the candidates having slim chances of winning before September and beating Romney before he gets all the delegates, i'm throwing my lot with Obama.

rebelgamer Says:

Apr 29, 2012 - I think I'll take my chances with Romney. Since he's, yah know, not trying to divide the country and fundamentally change the economic system that created the most prosperous nation the world has ever seen.

mkoijnbhuism Says:

Apr 29, 2012 - I'm too young to vote, so i won't really be able to back anybody up, especially because nobody knows what will happen when Obama or Romney takes office in September. But i think the problem isn't just what obama's doing, it's that and more problems. I just hope it doesn't get any worse.
