'We ain't gonna take this anymore.'

Think about it. Maybe the most solid economy in the world is China's. Yes, the place we always thought of as inferior. Communist. Socialist. Autocratic. One thing about China. It's a well-regulated economy. The unregulated economies seem to be in big trouble. Right here in the USA. And in Europe. We've given capitalists more or less free rein. And it's proving costly. Capitalists generally refuse to regulate themselves. Because they are greedy. They think it's all right for the rich to become richer and for the poor to become poorer. And to hell with regulation. Maybe that worked for a while. But now we're in a more competitive world. Conditions have changed. If we continue to allow capitalists to do as they please, they'll exploit the masses. And divide the world into the haves and the have-nots. It's creating bigger and bigger numbers of have-nots. And some of 'em are standing up and shouting, 'We ain't gonna take this anymore.' --Jim Broede
