NPR Interview with Wash Post/NY Times Blames Capitalism for Greek Collapse - Dooms America to Same Fate

Today May 18 on the NPR radio show "All Things Considered" Robert Seigel interviewed representatives from The New York Times and Washington Post on various topics which made the headlines throughout the week.

Near the end of the segment Robert asked them about the events transpiring in Greece. Specifically Mr Siegel was interested in their take on the difference between the US political and financial system compared with the Greek system. The specific question from the host was "is America better situated than Greece"?

The answer from the guests was astounding. It boggles the mind - though it shouldn't considering who these people are and who they write for - but I digress.

The answer they gave was this: "The collapse in Greece is a failure of capitalism and America will end up like Greece". The show's host never questioned that assertion and the segment came to an end as though what was said was simply a matter of fact.

It's a stunner, really, that these idiots have jobs that don't involve asking people if they'd like fries with that. Failure of capitalism? Greece? Evidently no one ever schooled these talking heads at NPR, NY Times, or the Washington Post on what capitalism really is. So here's the best education you'll ever see on it.

Capitalism is 1. Invention 2. Effort 3. Reward. That is the truest definition of capitalism. Remove one of those and the three-legged stool collapses. Here's the problem with Greece - they took away two of those legs and expected to support on entire economy on reward alone. No invention requirement. No effort requirement. All that's left is the reward for simply existing and that, my friends, is a failure of socialism - not capitalism.

Greece is a welfare state! It has been a welfare state since the 70's and has collapsed under the weight of a populace trying to balance on a one-legged stool which we are witnessing the collapse of. How imbecilic of NPR and the liberal rags to suggest that capitalism is the bad guy here.

Capitalism works every time it is tried... every time. It has nothing to do with greed. It has nothing to do mistreating the environment. In fact the best way to protect the environment is to implement capitalism which always protects its inventions, investments, and interests and always works every time. Capitalism is the answer and Barack Obama's socialist policies will destroy America if he is allowed to persist. That is the truth about Greece. And that is why NPR needs government assistance to survive and why the liberal "news"papers are bleeding money. Capitalism - invention, effort, reward. Learn it, live it, love it.

NETFLIX - A Great Example of why Obama Economics is an EPIC Fail

Netflix, the giant movie supplier widely credited with the demise of Blockbuster, raised its rates recently by sixty percent. The result saw the company’s shares tank 19 percent, wiping out their entire 2011 gains after revealing that a price increase caused one million subscribers to disappear.

This is what happens in economies of both large and small scale and this is what will happen as the result of the Obama tax increases - over a trillion dollars worth. People will go elsewhere to do business. The tax increases proposed by Obama are said to effect only the rich and wealthy individuals and corporations. Yet there is a hard and true fact of life in economics that corporations do not pay taxes. They simply add the corresponding percentages to the bill handed to their customers. This becomes a trickle down effect until the tax burden is spread among the ultimate end user - you and me. So essentially any corporate tax increase is a back door tax on the population as a whole. This may give the appearance of a government which cases for the little guy but in effect it simply exposes the tricky nature of the ruling party.

Beware the nuances of liberal thought. Especially when it comes from the top. Liberalism, rightly believed to be a mental disorder, requires a nanny. Liberalism is, by definition, a mental disorder. It is defined as an "unrestricted" lifestyle. This requires the ones living the lifestyle to have barriers artificially imposed on them by big brother - the nanny state. This promotes a population heavily dependent on the government for everything. This is not a problem so long as they keep voting for the ones giving out the welfare checks and/or unemployment extensions. It really doesn't matter if they get out of bed to vote in large numbers either. It has been historically proven that low voter turnout translates into Liberal victories anyway.

Netflix has shown us a living short term example of what is happening to America in the long term and what we see manifesting today. In fact as we watch the happenings in Greece and the rest of Europe we see the exact same dynamic at work - liberals running around all upset that the nanny ran out of money. Meanwhile the producers, innovators, inventors, and everyone else who makes the world work are heading, and have been heading, to more capitalist friendly territory. Capitalism works friends - everywhere it is implemented. It just... works.
