Thoughts and Musing
Articles from my inner view of the world or some days just a rant at injustice.
A Controlled Corptocracy not a Free Market Economy
I find it curious that so many, apparently educated people jump up and down about free market capitalism whenever some socially responsible agenda or suggestion is put forth. They howl words like Socialism, Communism, Marxism and big government control, and whilst...
