The Slaves

Praxagora: "I want all to have a share of everything and all property to be in common; there will no longer be either rich or poor; [...] I shall begin by making land, money, everything that is private property, common to all. [...]"

Blepyrus: "But who will till the soil?"

Praxagora: "The slaves."

Aristophanes
(tr. O'Neill 1938, Perseus)
Ecclesiazusae, line 590-591 & 597-598 & 651

Obama Still Refusing to Take Responsibility for the Coming Economic Disaster


Even the Obama Times, I mean the New York Times cannot ignore the projected fiscal disaster on which the current liberal administration has set America. Faced with the dire predictions of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office regarding the disastrous consequences of his irresponsible, unsustainable tax-and-spend plans, Obama once again resorted to hiding behind the tired campaign argument about the deficit his administration "inherited" and the current economic crisis. I wonder when Obama and his lackeys are going to start assuming responsibility for the long term results of the disastrous socialist philosophy they are implementing.
