Have ya heard the recent retort supply-siders are voicing toward taxation?: “When was the last time you were hired by a poor person?” This conservative/libertarian b.s. holds as much water as an my old man’s bladder.

Capitalism by definition is unfair- the more you have, the more you can make, ad infinitum. The lower class have felt this this Midas touch-in-reverse for more than a decade. Now, the middle is feeling the heat.

Unless we go back to an agrarian Jeffersonian society of yore, when do we realize that we, as citizens, are no longer little islands beholden only to ourselves by supporting a patently unfair system that perpetuates inequality?

The implicit message in this image is that socialism is less stable than capitalism, since the red man in the gun shouldn’t find it too difficult to get the blue man’s money. And, I suppose, I somewhat agree with that, in the sense that capitalism is already so implicitly corrupt that it really doesn’t have much room left to be corrupted further. Of course, this is why I believe stateless socialism (i.e. Anarchism) is the best option, because there is no red man in such a system (the red man is the state, because he as a monopoly of violence).
