Welcome to the Slave New World.

I cannot believe the SEC won't shut this down. Rush says Terra Pass has hit up 23,000 people for offsets. They then take the money and invest it in the stock market. They get the gains and the purchasers get nothing.

Liberals are elitist. They expect every one else to live like the plebs they are but because of their superior virtue and leadership skills, they are entitled to live like patricians.
