An Essay on Republican Capitalist Philosophy
I wrote this essay because Herman Cain's 9-9-9 plan is the most ill-conceived and potentially counterproductive economical plan I have heard in recent history. Not only that, it seems to embody everything that is wrong with the republican way of thinking. I'm going to explain my objections to this plan, and also touch on the broader issues of republican capitalist ideals.
For those of you who are unfamiliar, Cain's 9-9-9 plan is to limit income tax 9%, but introducing a 9% business transactions tax and a 9% federal sales tax. There's one crucial problem I immediately noticed, and to make it easier to see, I'l
Good riddance to Herman Cain! by BatmanWithBunnyEars, journal
Good riddance to Herman Cain!
Herman Cain dropped his bid for presidency! Our country dodged a bullet on that one. The reason he gave up was his string of sexual harassment scandals. (A corporate leader using his power to manipulate women? Who'd have thought?) ~cainrapeface-plz (https://www.deviantart.com/cainrapeface-plz)
Although somewhat amusingly, the reason for his downfall was the least of my objections to him. His naive, blame-the-victim attitude toward unemployment should have turned everyone against him from the start; he accuses the unemployed of being lazy, refusing to take into account that there's only one job for every five unemployed Americans due to reasons outside of the working class' co

At the summer 2009, when I, like this summer (2010), was on a bike ride, there is amongst all one thing I remember, the news bills I saw on the newsstands about the fore coming flu of death, the Swine Flu. Free vaccine (two shots), were ordered to every Swedish man and woman, and especially for the children that were going to have their shots first. As soon as the schools would start the pandemy would be a fact. But in September the vaccine would come ;)
However, the vaccine (Pandemrix) was delayed. As a columnist in a news paper wrote, "The vaccine is delayed, and that is the flu too" :lol: Finally in November (if I'm not wrong) the mass va
Pandemic

This is rather natural in my case. I have worked in an epidemic clinic, at the laboratory. I know what micro-cosmos can cause.
Sometimes the Professor invited us to a lecture about one hour. We were of course rather triggered I mean one hour without work. Just relaxation. And still we were paid.
