Economic Fascism and The United States

If I do not believe in, trust, or support the US Federal Government, my home should not be in jeopardy. The Federal Government, whenever they choose, through the IRS, will take your home if you do not support them. This confiscation of property by the Federal Government is absolutely and unequivocally wrong, and it is illegal.
For the Federal Government to threaten me with stealing my home because I want them to fail, is economic FASCISM.
Let the Federal Government collect it’s taxes but to put my home in peril because of taxes - is ECONOMIC FASCISM.
I want the Federal Government to spend itself into bankruptcy and irrelevance; and it is my patriotic right as a human and and an American to have control over my money to do so.
I believe in local taxes, and local representation of those taxes; to me - the FED is DEAD.

Helmut Schmidt
This crash was avoidable. The fact that American investment banks are not subject to any normal bank supervision is scandalous. Financial transactions must be subject to rules and security standards. The heavier the traffic, the more rules are needed.

"We are in an epoch shift"

Peter Bofinger
Free markets became wild markets. The post-socialist blessing became the turbo-capitalist curse. The state allowed the monitoring of banks to be de facto privatized. Politics allowed the markets to run wild. Contracting debts was trendy and saving was Philistine.

Illegal use of Equity - Average and Normal
08 Oct 2008

Kenn Spacefield
People have made bad and improper investments with credit and equity.
My family and friends (who I would say are "average" and "normal" Americans) have used home equity to buy other homes, invest in the stock market, to buy "stuff", and to pay expenses. This sometimes illegal and improper use of residential property equity is the problem! This equity does not exist yet and no one knows when or if it will, or how much it may be; and it is all ready "at work" - multiply times over. I have seen many people live off of credit and use their money to invest. This "hyper-capitalism" of equity on equity - on credit and debt appreciation, is a flawed and failing economic model, and it is failing - just as it should.
