To bad Marx confused "Capitalism" with "Corporatism" and corporatism is nothing more than Government and Big Business playing patty cake and having a big old circle jerk. Free market capitalism leaves the economy (aka you, me, and the consumer) help determine demand and business fill the demand. This is far more efficient then central planning which is almost always slower to react then diversified parties providing demand.

I agree citation is needed but isn't your restriction like saying "anyone who doesn't agree with me does not count?" As for citation: http://edlabor.house.gov/documents/111/pdf/publications/AAHCA-SHAREDRESPONSIBILITY-071409.pdf [QUOTE] ALL AMERICANS WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING HEALTH INSURANCE, EXCEPT IN CASES OF HARDSHIP The reforms in the bill will make health care coverage more affordable so that all Americans have access to coverage that protects against catastrophic costs. Individuals who choose not to obtain basic health coverage will be subject to a modest penalty based on 2.5 percent of income. In no case would the penalty exceed the average cost of a health care policy in the Exchange. Hardship waivers will be granted to individuals based on criteria such as affordability or religious objections, among other reasons.

I don't think "Blacks" have been fair with that assessment. Context is everything. When a black youth walks down the street with a strut and the "I'll kick your ass if you look at me wrong" look on their face then they are asking for the treatment.

I've seen white British kids get the same treatment because they were walking, talking, and acting like hoodlums.

A gent from Kenya that was all smiles and friendly as can be never had a problem. He always dressed nice and carried him self well. He always wondered what the African-American's were talking about.

Wow people discriminate? Say it ain't so!?

My problem is not that people discriminate, it is that they take it to far. It's one thing say I'm white and only date Caucasians. It's another to go a beat someone down solely because they are black or some other race.

If someone wants to have the Latino's only club then power to them I think you should be free to associate. Heck even employers should be free to discriminate (stupid if they do since it impacts their income) as long as it isn't causing physical harm to another people group.

Maybe I want to start the Neo-Spartan mercenary company and only want to accept homosexuals. I say "Go for it" and power to you.

Ah but to many people today don't want freedom of association when it means they can't be part of some group. I didn't get bent out of shape when college had exclusive clubs for all minorities. However it's just pure hypocrisy when those groups got bent out of shape because someone wants a "Whites" only club.

All men are created equal, but that doesn't mean they all have to be forced to associate with one another.
