    Socialism works until you run out of other people's money.[W:954]

    The New Deal gave us the longest, most severe depression in our nations history. Kind of tough to go further down in the crapper when you're already dragging the bottom. “We have tried spending money. We are spending more than we have ever spent before and it does not work. I want to see...

    Government Workers__What a waste of tax-dollars!

    Fyi, Enron failed because of losses in the heavily-regulated consulting and technology sectors. Just saying...

    “The ripple effects of letting those companies implode would have been huge.”

    The problem was that the banks stopped being mortgage debt underwriters. Their risk of default loss was very small because of the secondary market, a market funded on the backs of the taxpayer. Fannie bought risky loans for cash allowing the banks to re-loan the same money over and over. Yes...

    Why do you have to make stuff up? I never said or implied that businesses would only make quality stuff and nobody would ever get hurt. If I had said that, there would be no need for me to also talk about recourse through common law. Do you actually believe there would be no way to track...

    Why? That is the key question, but it usually goes unanswered because it's not asked. What you said is absolutely true, but why is it this way? Government tries to regulate anything and everything, but it's patently obvious that regulation can't cover every situation that may come up...

    It's the rules and regulations that allow corporations to run roughshod over the people. What you blame on capitalism isn't capitalism at all, it's corporatism. Government grants special privileges to the rich and to the corporations through regulation. A free market doesn't have room for...

    You just came oh so close to advocating a free market.

    You're missing the entire point. Sure, mistakes are made. The problem is that instead of doing away with the mistake and not repeating it again, government just "fixes" it by adding more rules and regulations on top of the rest, usually making the problem worse or creating different problems...

    If government had kept out of it in the first place, AT&T would never have become a monopoly and a correction would never have been needed. That is the lesson to be learned, but the lesson is ignored.

    It's a truth that some will never understand.

    Are you aware that it was government intervention that created the AT&T monopoly in the first place?

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Apply for a Student Loan

    Capitalism is a system where everyone is free to use their private property however they wish without outside interference. It's also a free market system because it allows everyone the freedom to choose their own jobs, the freedom to sell their products and services at whatever price they...

    A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Apply for a Student Loan

    If you believe in wealth caps and wage minimums, you are not a free marketeer. Besides, capitalism and the free market are one and the same.
