...Medvedev has learned what most capitalist CEOs have known for years. Putin plays the heavy. He is the ex-KGB bully who is willing to say that invading neighboring countries is fine. Medvedev gets to play the role of the leader with balanced views, the cooler head, the man that foreign leaders would like to meet. And, for the privilege of being loved, Medvedev is paid $13,300 less than Putin. It shows the flaw in the US system. Of the people in the Administration President Obama is clearly the most well-liked as well as being the best paid...
...free market crowd still wants to let the capitalist system sort itself out without substantial government intervention. They posit that, no matter how painful the adjustment, it is better for the economy to move to or beyond the brink of collapse on its own so that the resulting inexpensive labor, goods, and services can eventually cause a tiny spark of demand which will eventually turn into a raging recovery.

Rather, it's suddenly capitalist piggishness that provokes genuine rage. When nearly half the House Republicans vote for a confiscatory 90% tax on Wall Street executives' bonuses, the old "class warfare" lines seem moot...
...some of creator Michael Green's inventions are puzzling or simplistic. Gilboa and Gath have modern armies, so why are they facing off across trenches as if it were World War I? (Apparently so that David can have dramatic moments walking across enemy lines.) Gilboa is an advanced capitalist state, so how can Silas be manipulated by his brother-in-law (Dylan Baker), who runs a single corporation so powerful it can bankroll the entire government...
