You think those people are simply trying to jerk TB around?
Do you believe that capitalism is working for the majority of the people in the world today? That it is supplying the food, shelter and health issues for the majority of people?
Of course it's not. Unrestricted capitalism is a corruption, a stain upon humanity, a cruel way to do things. The US gets away with it because it spends 5, count 'em five" times as much on the military as the rest of the world combined.
Instead of spending 5 times as much as the rest of the world on medical technicians, personnel and equipment. It's a tragedy, especially since the same people would be getting richer.
Nope, TB is not being jerked around. He's making a fool of himself.
