Yes, of course. That's been obvious since the end of WWII. But the US got arrogant, greedy, and imperialistic. Third World nations resisted invasion. Minorities protested racism. The poor opposed rapacious capitalism. How dared they!?
But if Stiglitz truly wants the Scandinavian nations to be our role models, the term "welfare state" has been demonized. We need to call them social democracies.

This is a huge problem in society, and because of that, it cannot be viewed in the Church apart from society. Obviously, zero tolerance is a must, in all aspects of the crime -- -including cover up. But we also must be realistic, if the Church (with its priests and religious) exists in the real and often messy world, and this is a major social issue (which it is), then things might happen.
But, priests and religious should be held to higher standards ... people say. Should they? Suddenly they are holier than the rest of us? Clericalism in this is acceptable? Aren't we all called to the same holiness?

Lets be real, not all employees are able to move up the ladder for a variety of reasons. It's a pyramid with executive/owners at the top supported by the wide base of wage earners that lack influence because they lack power. It's Not a morality play it's a fact - very few can fit at the top. It's simple geomotry. | 10 | Or we could just tell the public employee unions to shut the heck up.
They brought on the PERS debacle - making outrageous, unsustainable pension promises to a generation of public employees - based on earnings projections that far exceeded what the national business cycle could possibly deliver - stemming from investment of those public pension dollars with KKR and other leveraged buyout kings - who took it and plundered/raped private companies operating right here in the Northwest - with no regard to the jobs of the employees of those private companies.
Then, along the way, they compounded the outrage - convincing almost all Oregon public employers to engage in a political lie: Most private company employees were suffering through years of little increase in their wages. So the unions said to the elected officials, "Why don't you just "pick-up" our employee contributions - hiding our wage increases."

When you see the word “is” think about working with mathematics. The word “is” is really an equal sign so you could say that “sin = lawlessness.” What is the Biblical definition of sin? Answer: That sin is the breaking of God's Law's and so everyone who sins is breaking the Law of God. That leaves us all guilty for we are all sinners. What bible do I read? Answer: The Holy Bible, numerous translations.
The truth is that sin, as defined in the original translations of the Bible, means "to miss the mark." The mark, in this case, is the standard of perfection established by God and evidenced by Jesus. Viewed in that light, it is clear that we are all sinners. | 4 | I've read through the bible more than once and spent hundreds of hours in meetings with others who also read the bible. It is not a simple answer unless you take every word at face value. Jesus himself seldom lectured but often posed parables and conundrums to both the unchurched and the scriptural experts. He taught that we all had access to agape' love, not just the few who could recite the rules.
Faith is not passive, it's an active search by each of us. Jesus turned the hierarchy and expectation of the Jewish faith upside down. You might find it fun to take your faith with serious intention and share with others who believe in the guidance of the Spirit and living revelation.
The God of Jesus teaching was not found in the walls of a church with a preacher teaching 'the law'. Jesus taught an inclusive faith driven by love, not an exclusionary faith driven by judgement.

"So when I got in the cart with Eric," Dodson says, "as we were setting off, I said, 'Eric, who’s funding? I know no banks — because of the recession, the Great Recession — have touched a golf course. You know, no one’s funding any kind of golf construction. It’s dead in the water the last four or five years.' And this is what he said. He said, 'Well, we don’t rely on American banks. We have all the funding we need out of Russia.' I said, 'Really?' And he said, 'Oh, yeah. We’ve got some guys that really, really love golf, and they’re really invested in our programs. We just go there all the time.' Now that was three years ago, so it was pretty interesting."
The total sound video is a little over 9 minutes. | 4 | A Day (And A Cheeseburger) With President Trump Link below. wbur provides transcript and actual telling by Dodson. It's incredible
This excerpt is taken from an interview that was w/Trump, plus son Eric by James Dodson. Here is a very, very interesting quote from that interview:
"Trump was strutting up and down, talking to his new members about how they were part of the greatest club in North Carolina," Dodson says. "And when I first met him, I asked him how he was — you know, this is the journalist in me — I said, 'What are you using to pay for these courses?' And he just sort of tossed off that he had access to $100 million."
Shortly after that conversation took place, James Dodson and Eric Trump teed off behind the foursome that included Donald Trump. And shortly after that, the promise of those clouds was fulfilled.

In what insane world is he 'more left than LePen'?
That you would think for a moment that Macron is 'more left than LePen' is a function of the globalist press colluding to keep the dumb plebes dumb.
Even far left gov has tried to curb unions, it resulted in total breakdown of the state in protests ... it will happen again soon ... and more people will vote for something like LePen.

Our goal is to keep motorcycling free from unjust and unwarranted laws and to promote those that benefit motorcyclists.
