I think you would like "Zeitgeist"
I also think everyone in the world needs to see the truth with eyes and mind open.

Call me when you figure out the whole the egalitarian thing without the brutalizing centralized authority thing.

Here in the USA we are going to try that communism thing all over again (since it worked so wonderfully for everyone else) so I guess you'll get your shot at this 'crisis' trying to be solved at least once more! (alas, BunnyPuncher hits it -ironically - on the head)

Communism has only killed 100 000 000 people... I think we should give it another try...

Our government is now in the business of:
healthcare
welfare
auto
banking
housing
sports entertainment
education.

None of these were in our founders plans. The US was not supposed to have a government dictating to everyone how, when , where, and how much. It was supposed to be DIFFERENT. This is quite a bit more than the recent Obama changes and spreads a lot further than one party (Bush was an incredible booster of bureaucracy).

"BunnyPuncher... ironically... on the head" I crack myself up too.

Hehe, this is the only one I really wanted to reply to.
1. I'm not preaching communism.
2. History is a guideline, not a theory. I beleve the capitalist system and mindset that goes along with it, has a serious amount of deaths on its watch too.

Also, I dont beleve in communism. But there are certain absurdities in this system which could be set aside by common sense. You just have to adapt the monetary system to it.
Next to that, you also have to change the mindset, this starts in schools. Just be a bit more critical, and try to see other vieuws as well. Teach as open as possible, meaning, teaching them left and right ideas and let them go in debates. In the hope that they can make the world look a bit better for every next generation to come.
Capitalism is a fase in evolution, don't be afraid to evolve.
