Bhairitu: I've been saying for years that the Republicans want to trash the economy so that they and their cronies can buy it for pennies on the dollar and turn the rest of us into serfs.
Mike Dixon: I've been saying pretty much the same thing about Democrats. Get everybody dependent on government assistance and they'll vote for whoever offers them the most . . . Now that's serfdom. A plague o' both your houses! If the Republicans turn the rest of us into serfs they'll still have to provide basic welfare provision to the unwashed masses if they're to avoid revolution. If the Democrats get everybody dependent on government assistance you can bet your sweet ass the Democrat politicians and hangers-on will safeguard their own privileges and wealth. Can't you see that the apparent opposition masks a shared goal: the politicians win; we're screwed.

Why do they take the risk of toppling down the entire country for the sake of their ideology?
