    People like to blame anyone except themselves for their woes.

    As time goes on they will confiscate more and more wealth, raise taxes, increase energy prices and force more and more to the streets, poverty and crime......
    The system is wrong and something drastically needs to be done asap!

    This just raises more questions!

    * Who are "they"? Can we all agree on who they are?
    * The system? What is the system? Are we part of the system?
    * In what way is the system wrong? I assume not wrong in the sense that 1 + 1 = 3 is wrong.
    * "Something" needs to be done? What nee [ins]ATTENTION ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A TEST.[/ins]

    It's easy to be a socialist when you have $15M in the bank.

    Jesus was a socialist. Probably a communist. Upper middle class lad too by all accounts.

    Granted, but a lot of woes are pushed on to people because od bad government management. Our grand children will still be feeling effects of Joe's excessive and unwieldy spending.
    Obviously the RBA needed that 8 billion, and can't wait for those strike force lemons.. who would be reasonable to blame for that, and the trickle down In more taxes with less spending leading to more middle poverty

    What has he spent? Swan is the one that took us from a 20 billion dollar surplus to a 280 billion dollar debt. Hockey is trying to cut spending. Seriously, are you trying to blame this government for the national debt? Really? Give me a list of big spending that Hockey has done in the last year.

    You mean the world treasurer of the year swann??
    You are aware of gov deficit atm yeah?? Hockey has loaded more debt in a short time than any other treasurer EVER. All the facades of cuts while increasing our debt by (from memory 180 B this year) I'm sure someone has a link here to a story on it, many of them out there...


    Edit. From this don't assume I support labor. I think only a revolution and new way of thinking is our only way free. They are just the lesser of two evils..

    Jesus was a socialist in the same sense that he was a capitalist, ie. none at all.

    In fact, I really think attempts to frame everything in terms of these two contrived opposites is very misleading. If anything, Jesus was for personal liberation through self realisation and opposed centralised controls and rent seeking monopolies. Of course his legacy was not respected and corrupted by a Church that developed as part of future societal control structures.
