Private Enterprise? Yeah, Right

So often you hear the corporate lackeys... er... to be politically correct: the conservatives... squawk about how much better private enterprise is than the government. How the government fucks shit up, but private enterprise gets us through just fine. Yeah right,

Keep your knees tight, or bring along some Saran Wrap.

Another Milestone

This is from THE PROGRESSIVE magazine. It's in an article on how students are the new indentured servants. They start life with a huge debt, and so become slaves to banks right from the get go. And now... well, check it out!

To be fair, it's not only the Republicans who do the stealing... only MOSTLY the Republicans.
