Only Capitalism Can Save Us By: Curtis Ophoven 12/14/2009 - 5 Comments In the end only capitalism can save us as the economy continues to spiral out of control.  Your Ad Here The U.S. economy is in big trouble as noted by refusing to create new jobs, burdened by the government bailout programs and bad monetary policies. Capitalism is the only chance we have to rebuild the economy and rebuild the value of our currency.  Capitalism is bold and fresh and it can leap over a building in a single bound.  Steve Forbes, one of the greatest business leaders in history has just released his new book, How Capitalism Will Save Us: Why Free People and Free Markets Are the Best Answer in Today's Economy How Capitalism Will Save Us: Why Free People and Free Markets Are the Best Answer in Today's Economy   Capitalism has been miss-represented by the political leaders in their attempt to dodge the blame for the recession. But the reality remains that capitalism is the greatest success story of history and the only system capable of providing an effective way of meeting peoples needs while fostering the democratic and moral values of a free society. This book shows how the economy really works. The foundation of economy growth is limited government and a reasonable value of money - with higher interest rates. When free people in free markets have energy to solve problems and meet the needs and wants of others, they turn scarcity into abundance and develop the innovations that are the foremost drivers of economic growth. Everyone should read this book, so that the true potential of our economy can once again be restored.     Subscribe via RSS Copyright © 2010 PennyJobs.com. All rights reserved.

Period. All non-wooded areas are potential gardens or pasture. The sooner you stop putting chemicals on your yard, the sooner you can use it to grow food. Encourage your neighbors to do the same (if necessary, under the guise of being environmentally-minded). Your yard and theirs may become your garden or pasture. You don't want 3-tetra-methyl-weeddeath in your red wheat flour before grinding it to make biscuits for supper." Comment 3 REAL AMERICAN MONEY Says: on Tuesday, December 15, 2009 7:28:13 PM http://www.marketoracle.co.uk/Article15740.html "Take a good look at this five dollar bill in this article. There is one thing that is different than any other bill you have seen in circulation. That difference when viewed in the lens of today has profound implications. Can you spot what the difference is? (It is not the red seal) Take a few moments before your read the answer below. Take a good look. What is different and what is the implication? What many people don't know about JFK is that he was the last American President to print money that was NOT backed by the Federal Reserve. Let me repeat the last portion of the sentence. ..........MONEY THAT WAS NOT BACKED OR PRINTED BY THE FEDERAL RESERVE!!! What you are looking at is a "UNITED STATES NOTE" - So ordered by John F Kennedy, president of the United States. Look at the very top of the front of the bill, at the very top middle. See how it says "UNITED STATES NOTE" instead of "FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE"? Constitutionally, JFK had this money printed. Only Government has the legal authority to coin legal tender money. The ramifications are too much for me to contemplate, but the bottom line is that JFK was issuing money (REMEMBER THE 2 DOLLAR SILVER CERTIFICATE BILL) that was either backed up by silver or in this case above, was not "BORROWED" from the Federal Reserve. Now if the Feds had gold to back up all that they would print it would be a different story. But they do not. It is often said that if you want to get on the trail of the truth in history, follow the money. While we will never know the entire details of the JFK assassination, I find it interesting that these bills were QUICKLY CANCELLED after his assassination and not issued? Why?"

Comment 5 long term treatment centers Says: on Monday, December 21, 2009 10:54:54 AM I am sure the person who related to corporate-sector might be concern with this topic and looking informative.

The Revolution: A Manifesto Dr. Ron Paul's THE REVOLUTION: A MANIFESTO is a concise and convincing argument for a return to America's libertarian principles. But the best and most important chapter, without a doubt, is Chapter 6, "Money: The Forbidden Issue in American Politics." Here Dr. Paul details the operations of the Federal Reserve System in stunning clarity. You see, the effects of inflation are not uniform -- the Fed System works as a wealth redistribution system from poor and middle-class to the rich and politically connected. This is the true cause of the increase in inequality and the diminishing middle class. A Demon of Our Own Design Why do markets keep crashing and why are financial crises greater than ever before? As the risk manager to some of the leading firms on Wall Street–from Morgan Stanley to Salomon and Citigroup–and a member of some of the world’s largest hedge funds, Rick Bookstaber has seen the ghost inside the machine and vividly shows us a world that is even riskier than we think. The very things done to make markets safer, have, in fact, created a world that is far more dangerous. Bookstaber gives readers a front row seat to the management decisions made by some of the most powerful financial figures in the world that led to catastrophe. Increase Your Financial IQ For years, Robert Kiyosaki has firmly believed that the best investment one can ever make is in taking the time to truly understand how one's finances work. Too many people are much more interested in the quick-hitting scheme, or trying to find a short-cut to real wealth. As Kiyosaki has preached over and over again, one has to truly under the process of how money works before one can start out on trying to escape the daily financial Rat Race. Freedom: America's Competitive Advantage in the Global Market Gamble argues that globalization brings far more benefits to the U.S. economy than it takes away. Gamble shows that both Europe and emerging economic powers like China and India have serious long-terms problems linked to their cultures, political structures, occasional instability, and state ownership of companies. These and other factors will eventually put a brake on the economic growth of hot emerging economies. The fundamental protections of property and free speech, a culture that promotes and rewards entrepreneurship, banking policies that make capital easily available, are still more supportive of economic growth and wealth creation than can be found anywhere else.
