| Message | We provide the basic education, higher levels should be paid by the individual. And if you happen to be poor, but you are talented and gifted, you will most likely get into scollarship program and your education is paid by them. This removes the non-wanted students from Universities and other higher education facilities, providing the rest better learning environment and increasing our competetiviness in the global market. |

| Message | "Fascism is an authoritarian political ideology that holds the state above all else and seeks to forge a type of national unity, usually based on ethnic, cultural, or racial attributes." -Wikipedia "Fascist governments are often closely associated with large corporations and sometimes with extreme nationalism and racist activities." -naiadonline Fascism is so loosely defined; some forms nationalise though many do not. Mussolini for example, removed lots of the regulations in the Italian economy. Hitler (who based most of national-Socialism on fascistic ideals) gave the big businesses perks to buy their support, and handed more and more power over to them. Both advocated the natural superiority of the 'Capitalist' and wrote about how the businessmen were the only people truly fit to govern. Giving them free leave to govern by monopoly and coercion is worse than handing them the keys to the country. You too are guilty of this crime. |

Everybody else profits. Soldiers are the ones losing their lives, losing friends, having their lives disrupted. The real victims of American imperialism are its soldiers." - Fred Gardner |
