money and madness

[pms]

could we lay a window of socialism over the DOS of capitalism? maybe the
other way around. or both ways, like mandlebroc's set.  how do you spread
power around. won't it take more than a command economy. whatever that means.
we should redistribute wealth because the costs of keeping this capitalist
crap shoot afloat are enormous, and a huge part of those costs are paid by
people for whom the system is not set up to benefit.  when the fed floods
the brokerages with liquidity,when the banks are bailed out, when gatt is
negotiated, the wars being planned for at the pentagon, these are all
subsidizing the system.  if the system works, everyone should do pretty well.
people have got to understand that corps. and big cigars don't pull their
own weight and that they're in the grips of pathalogical money-lust
psycosis. oh yeah, and that these same folks are running their lives. then
we'll see what comes.
on exec pay, i just read where Daimler-Benz or whatever was havng a hard
time dealing with the obscene pay gap between the german ceo and the
american ceo of their merger partner. chyrsler?
speaking of social security, do any of the economaists in the house
seriously doubt that in 15 or 20 years the market will be higher? a ten
year bear market that bounces back would certainly help save my ass since i
simply could not deal with money until i was 46.  still i absolutely do not
want the gov't investing in the market, though i do think it should sell
itself lots of bonds when interest rates are high, is this shit for real
though. i mean what's it all about alfie?
do you think the europeans have insisted on being treated better by their
big cigars because when their kings and PMs screw up, bombs drop in there
houses.
the govt already has too much invested in the market and the american
people should demand a decent return for there money, blood, sweat, and tears.
ralph naders comments and new book can be grooved on at the web active
page, it's about how corporate lawyers run your life. if anyone reads it
i'd love to hear about it. i've gotta read all these damn computor books.
who are these real player guys anyway. pretty cool capitalists maybe. and
anyone who expounds loudly and often about how the system that has made him
wealthy is inherently unstable and a deadly threat to an open society is a
favorite of mine cause i don't get to talk to the people he gets to talk
to.  maybe that's bad. i'm talking about Soros here.  Lewis La--whatever of
Harper's had a two part piece on a heap-big big cigar get together in some
glorious place, really amazing stuff. i'm thinking of the speech Soros gave
at that gathering, but then i bought Enron, but my $500 is in the
wind-power part. yeah.

ps-so how do you redistribute the means of production?
