Well good, then it shouldn't be too hard to back up this claim with a few facts.
If capitalism under bush was working so well right now our economy would be sucking so much right now.

The Unitied states is the only developed country in the world that has oil and doesn't use it. The domocratic controlled congress has blocked any and every attempt to drill for oil or build a refinery to increase production capabilities.

And before you go preaching about who is communist, know what one is first
...Gore is a Marxist...
I for one nor anyone has heard Al Gore preaching this either, he is not a communist, he is a registered democrat
Nice try...Marxist - One who believes in or follows the ideas of MarxMarxism - The political and economic ideas of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels as developed into a system of thought that gives class struggle a primary role in leading society from bourgeois democracy under capitalism to a socialist society.Of course you haven't heard Gore preaching communism openly. That would be polital suicide. He is a registered democrat doing it behind the scenes causing civil unrest with the mainstream liberal media helping to cover his tracks. It's all part of the formula written out by Marx...Now come back when you've read all of Gores material and tell me he isn't a Marxist While you are at it you might read up on the Clinton camp too.
Read this book... Then read it again, http://books.google.com/books?id=yhOOvF61XKgC&dq=communist+manifesto&pg=PP1&ots=IEkZJ0QVnr&sig=yGvPEagfuTqFjgAN9sucNvDiid4&hl=en&prev=http://www.google.com/search?q=communist+manifesto&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&sa=X&oi=print&ct=title&cad=one-book-with-thumbnail#PPP1,M1
If capitalism under bush was working so well right now our economy would be sucking so much right now. In addition to that my father wouldn't be without a retirement, and on the verge of being laid off if bush made it so all airlines in trouble could get the loan packages from his administration but no united was denied and they filed for chapter 11, and thus his pension was dissolved.
why would we want to read the communist manifesto? I read it once in HS, wasn't impressed with the whole theory behind it. There is no such thing as a perfect communist society. The way we as people are made up makes it impossible. We are competitive beings, and being forced into a government that is based around complete equality is only destined to fail. It is that competitiveness that has made capitalism so great. The idea that something can come along, and someone says, "Hey, I can make that bigger, better, faster, etc." If no one got credit for their creations, or their ideas, then the system of invention, creativity, etc. would fall apart.
Since when is it the Government's job to bail out struggling businesses? This is a big issue with our government, and one of the things that is causing some of the problems we face today. The government is stepping in to "rescue" the financial institutions that went against everything that they knew was right, over invested, gave loans away to people who had no business receiving them, etc. Now when the hits the fan, and they're left holding the bag, they cry to the government. Don't get me wrong, I have full sympathy for your Dad, who worked his entire career, and has nothing to show for it in retirement. The airlines are certainly struggling, there is no denying that. My dad has taken some big pay cuts and benny cuts recently (he's an Alaska Airlines pilot) so I know how its going.
The idea of communism itself was manifested in that book by Carl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it did not really exist before then. In the times it was written were full of revolution and distrust of the government in Europe, I guess what i am trying to say is that pointing out that someone is a communist about the things you read on the net is naive and rather dumb. I am not saying that is the responsibility of the government to bail any business out of economic trouble nor do i really think that they should have to. In this case though after Carter regularized the airline industry it became so competitive that it was hard for any airline to make money. After 9/11 there was an offer from the Bush administration to aide to them in he form of loans, out of all that applied very few were helped. United didn't get any, filed chapter 11, dissolved pensions, and cut thousands of jobs. I am not saying that if Bush came through that woulds have not happened, I just think that many would still have a retirement or a job.Oh and i am a 19 year old bleeding heart liberal, but i think you knew that lol
Hmmm weird..I am a part owner of a drilling company. We are drilling a few wells right now as we speak. It is very expensive to drill wells. Dry holes are a common thing......No the government does not help us. The only people we have problems with are with the EPA. We have a butt load of oil right here in Middle America but the problem is that it is scattered in smaller fields making extraction a very costly and risky business...... Transporting the oil from from say, Russia (which is the number one oil exporter right now) is cheaper than producing it ourselves...
A lot of people on here were around before the internet was invented (by Al Gore, according to the internet )
