Leftists are obsessed with money, but just for the record, the media rules America. Money is mainly concerned with protecting and growing itself, not ruling anything as such.
- stcredzero 16y agoMoney rules the media. (In large part, not completely.) Through the media, corporations, and lobbyists the rich rule America.
- jraines 16y agoAgreed; reminds me indirectly of Arthur Jensen's speech to "off the reservation" media star Howard Beale in Network. "It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet -- it is the order of things today" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sySuIXG_IM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7sySuIXG_IM

- antidaily 16y agoLeftists are obsessed with money I believe it's actually the other way around.
- stcredzero 16y agoI wonder what the earliest historical mention of "mass uprising" is? Does the idea go back to Egypt? What's the earliest revolt?
- endtime 16y agoThe right is obsessed with its own money; the left is obsessed with other people's money.
- kenjackson 16y agoThe right is obsessed with ensuring that other people don't get the money they inherited, even it is for things like subsidized lunches for poor children. And the reason I call out "inherited" is I notice a fundamentally different position between people I know who have earned their wealth versus those that have inherited it (even for relatively poor/middle-class people who have inherited their position through things as basic as being white in the US -- which tends to mean you've had generations to accumulate capital that can be transferred).
- sigzero 16y agoMoney is obsessed with leftists?
- space-monkey 16y agoLeft, right; both look the same to me. And viewership numbers rule the media, which isn't that great a thing either.
