Krugman on Corporate Cash

Krugman says that corporations are sitting on cash. The idea here is that we shouldn't give corporations any money, because they already have enough to spend, and it won't lead to economic recovery.

But, as an anarchist, I want to end taxes on corporations because of a desire to end the violence of the state. To no longer see tax dodgers in prison. And to reap the benefits of a wealth, free society.

But everyone is focused on economic recovery. That's the only way to push these measures. So Republicans say this will put people to work. But we have bigger aims.

Another Rightwing Conspiracy

Today I heard about the Council of Foreign Relations for the first time. Apparently this is a target of Glenn Beck and the John Birch society. Its supposed to be an agent of one world government.

What's maddening is that so many of these rightwing apes take an idea with some truth "government is bad" and then just run with it to have all sorts of crazy ideas, like the 9-11 truthers. Attacking the CFR isn't as crazy as the 9-11 truth movement, but we should be wary.

Note the article also mentions liberals such as David Halberstam. Apparently many people like to diss the CFR.
