"Greed" is the wrong word. The speaker supports free enterprise, as did the Founding Fathers. That's what they meant when they said "[Men] are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are ... the pursuit of Happiness".

We are well on our way to being a corporate communist state. Could you work in your vocation if you didn't have the government's permission -- e.g. a license? I cannot work as a (construction) consulting engineer or as an electrician without the government's permission. It seems nearly every vocation is now government-regulated, or soon will be. Work without a license, and you pay fines and/or go to jail. Private businesses are being crushed by regulations; only large companies can afford full-time people to deal with the red tape.

Under the "economic stimulus package", I think thousands more Americans are going to find themselves employed by the government and millions by government contractors. The model is simple: the more workers the person at the mahogany desk in the corner office has working on his government contract, the more money his company makes and the more money he can give to the political campaigns of his pals writing the laws and regulations. It's a win-win situation for the CEO's and politicians.

Some outward signs of communism are:

1. You work at a government job.

2. You live in a government house.

3. You eat government food.

4. You wear government clothes.

5. You drive a government car.

6. You receive government medical treatment.

7. You send your children to government school

8. You read/ watch/ listen to government-approved entertainment.

9. Your choices at the ballot box are limited to dominant party candidates.

Do a mental estimate of an overall percentage of the above factors for all Americans over our lifetimes. Notice a trend?

Now are you ready to join the Constitution Party?
