Greetings Comrades!

I’ve been thinking a lot about the state of our economy.  I must say, I’m not very optimistic.  I’m very angry with the politicians in Washington right now.  Given the economic circumstances that our country is facing, spending money to save failing companies that then turn around and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on retreats is just complete stupidity in my opinion.

In his Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, Karl Marx proposed 10 measures that were to be implemented after the proletariat gained power.  The purpose of this was to centralize all instruments of production in the hands of the state.  Measure number five was to bring about the “centralization of credit in the banks of the state, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.”  Let’s all give communism a great big welcome to the United States!
