About Left Behind

Fundamentally unsound
examines what the Left Behind books say about fundimentalists in the US and
the fundimentalist politicans. If you have not heard of the book series yet
the Left Behind books cover the time when the “true believers” are called
up and the 7 years til the end of the world. They basicly put forth the biblical
end of the world, Revelations, via pop fiction.

Buchanan Right?

I feel dirty for saying this but Buchanan might be correct, saying “right” would be an understatement. He pulls some examples of terrorism that worked and stopped. It is all aboutbeing somewhere you are not wanted. Leave and it ends.

Repealing the Estate Tax

Opening A Trillion- Dollar Hole , how congress is tryign to remove the Estate Tax, which currently only affects 2% which are only the incrediably large estates. Really liked the Roosevelt statement.

The estate tax was signed into law by Theodore Roosevelt, who was stunned by the vast fortunes being accumulated in the first decades of the industrial age. Roosevelt had the quaint notion that great inequality of wealth was unhealthy for a democratic society, and — foolish man — he even believed that young people were better off making their own way than living off the fruits of their parents’ success.

The Rise & Fall of the American Empire

How the Great Fortunes Grow: The State Lends a Helping Hand, a review of Wealth and Democracy: A Political History of the American Rich, by Kevin
Phillips. Intresting sounding book best summed:

Ranging from chapter to chapter across oceans and centuries, Mr. Phillips constructs a complex analogy between the United States at its superpower zenith and its imperial predecessors in Spain, Holland and Great Britain. His argument isn�t easily summarized, but in essence he�s warning us of certain symptoms that eventually grip all the great capitalist powers: concentration of wealth, polarization of classes, irrational speculation, excessive luxury, technological mania, government corruption, market idolatry and political alienation. He believes that we are being led down the same spiraling path, toward the same dead end.
