…God is not dead! He has morphed into the capitalist global free market: his disciples are us as we pursue the standard greed “mantra” of the me first syndrome, worshiping such examples as the accumulated wealth from a red-hot and manipulated real estate market, leaving behind ever growing numbers in our communities, cold hungry and homeless.

...Capitalism is a greedy conspiracy aided and abetted by Democracies the world over, its heart a “fools paradise” of Global free markets and universal deregulation.

…God is not dead, Democracy is: What is Democratic about joblessness, eviction and hunger ?

Interestingly another american trend is that of "internships" or unpaid slave labour.

Talking about companies with employees run by unions, the days are drawing to a close, the government will take this control back, if a company believes it's profits are under the 10% margin required and that general employees are eventually going to be paid more than the managers due to unions, then companies have no choice. My advice is dump your unions to gain growth in Australia, let's start now and not follow America, this change must be made and people have the vote. A free wig at life is drawing to a close, so let's take the change and move on. Our government should have been more communicative about this issue, they should have spelled out this problem a long time ago.

Ah Comrade, if only they'd re-erect the Berlin Wall. That'd keep out the capitalist dogs.
