The Hired Gun Fetish...

a.k.a. The Privitization of Everything...
The most recent thing we've learned about is how soldiers-of-fortune go on killing sprees in Iraq facing no punishment.

Something we haven't heard so much about is how the I.R.S. has collection agencies getting late taxes at a rate of 20% when they could do it themselves for a rate of 3%.

Good ole George W. has just vetoed a bill that would give $35 Million in healthcare to American children. Our lovely Congress and Preznit have just approved another $190 Billion to be spent in Iraq.

The U.S. dollar is trading at the even rate to the Canadian dollar for the first time 1976.
