Throw Out the Money Changers

By Chris Hedges

The two most destructive forces of human nature-greed and envy-drive the financiers, the bankers, the corporate mandarins and the leaders of our two major political parties, all of whom profit from this system.

Lost in the American Undertow

By Joe Bageant

The United States has always maintained a white underclass - citizens whose role in the greater scheme of things has been to cushion national economic shocks through the disposability of their labor, with occasional time off to serve as bullet magnets in defense of the Empire.

Why are we suddenly winning?

Liberty Unbound Liberty Unbound

04/16/11

Several recent stories help us understand why rightist Republicans, usually pathetically lacking in anything remotely resembling electoral savvy and political street-smarts, are beginning to achieve some measure of success in enacting their agenda. The stories have to do with the looming approach of the public choice tipping point - the point at which rational ignorance ceases to be rational...

Hypocrites, left and right

The news that we have been lied into war yet again should hardly come as a shock. After all, our two-party system means that the different parties take turns doing the same thing. Yes, but how could the American public fall for it so soon after the Iraq debacle? Easy: you only have to fool some of the people most of the time, and with the Democrats in office, it s their turn to put one over on a different audience, their 'progressive' base...

Welfare and warfare are a renunciation of freedom

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

04/15/11

Perhaps the most damaging effect of public (i.e., government) schooling is the malleable mindset that it produces in American children, a mindset that defers to the authority of the government in important matters. Day after day, year after year, state officials mold the minds of the children into accepting popular, albeit false, doctrines. While some succeed in breaking free of the indoctrination (libertarians are the premier example), many people carry their molded mindsets for the rest of their lives...

On the tyranny of the majority

DFW Alliance of the Libertarian Left
by laicite

When it comes to practical issues, it may be perfectly sensible to go with majority rule. But I believe that the majority (or even a political or moral authority) should not be given that power when it comes to issues of personal liberty (as long as these liberties are not in violation of the harm principle). Allowing the majority to deny rights and freedoms to minority groups is no better than despotism...

"Spillionaires": Profiteering and Mismanagement in the Wake of the BP Oil Spill

Kim Barker, ProPublica: 'The oil spill that was once expected to bring economic ruin to the Gulf Coast appears to have delivered something entirely different: a gusher of money. Some people profiteered from the spill by charging BP outrageous rates for cleanup. Others profited from BP claims money, handed out in arbitrary ways. So many people cashed in that they earned nicknames - 'spillionaires' or 'BP rich.' Meanwhile, others hurt by the spill ended up getting comparatively little.'

After Pledging to Not Raise Taxes, Walker Proposes Hiking Taxes and Fees on the Poor and Students

Zaid Jilani, ThinkProgress: 'In his newly proposed budget, now-governor Walker appears to have already broken this pledge. While the budget would lower taxes overall - it includes $83.3 million in tax cuts 'primarily for businesses and investors' - it would make up for lost revenue by eliminating tax credits and exemptions that primarily benefit the poor and even some in the middle class.'

Bradley Manning: Whistleblower or Scapegoat?

Michael Nagler, Truthout: 'When is a whistleblower not a whistleblower? When he s a scapegoat. Pfc. Bradley Manning is an unfortunate - and challenging - case in point, and to understand why, we need to see his situation in context... If, as a society, we scapegoat them [Assange and Manning], we are only trying to shift our own burden of guilt onto their shoulders, and to think we can get away with that for very long is a dangerous delusion.'
