Hate speech does not lead to thoughtful discussion.
I'd like to see one instance where unregulated capitalism has worked, they can't provide one.
Not working? Oh come on, it's working better then unregulated capitalism ever did.
The points that I made were thoughtful. Furthermore, on the point in question, he did not note the entire response. As far as I am concerned he was making an excuse.
Is there any possible way to get you to provide an argument that is backed up by data or reason. I know we are of a generation where are politicians have convinced us that if we say things often enough and loud enough they will become true. But I'm a bit old fashioned.
I would ask you to explain that a bit further. To me crony capitalism is when a capitalist engages a politician for mutual benefit, ie the capitalist gets favorable treatment in regulation in return for monetary contributions.

It appears you're making an excuse. Maybe its contageous.
If you define capitalism as free markets then you have to accept that it worked for hundreds of years. And it works very well here in black markets.
I was talking about the states. Regulation and intervention isn't bad, every other country does it.
yes... if you mean states, because state government is closer to the people and is always better government, easier to root out corruption, and to structure laws which better serve the people of the state and the community, then government 3000 miles away.
regulations are meant sure rights and to protect the health and safety of the public, and those are the only reasons to have them...regulations are never meant to be used for social engineering of people.
State government isn't always a better government, look at our history and "social engineering" how so?
Again, another myth of impression. The unemployment rate amongst college grads is 3%, which is full employment.

If you did a little research to validate your impressions before you make posts, you won't look like an ill-informed.....
They obviously struggle, the minimum wage can't substantiate debt and cost of living.
government which is closer to the people is always better government.
government is not here to make you the sort of person they desire, government is here to secure rights, that is governments purpose only.
Not from looking at the normal people that frequent public forums I'm not. If the Democrats in congress are making voting decisions that favor corporate interests over those of the middle class then they're not representing our values.
Republicans appear to be determined to block any sort of efforts designed to help the middle class. For example they opposed this effort to allow students to refinance their student loans
GOP blocks Warren
They also have voiced opposition to Obama's plan to provide free community college and opposed extending unemployment insurance to unemployed Americans.
Are Republicans against helping the middle class?
Good luck exposing those democrats for who they are.Because when we conservatives expose republicans who do not represent conservative values we tend to get called extremists, teabaggers, and other epithets by the liberal media.
The middle class should be paying their own way.
And at least if a state screws up, it only screws things up for the people of that one state and not 49 others. When the federal government screws up, it screws everybody and there is no escape.
And those complaining how Republicans 'hate the middle class' don't seem to realize that the one thing that has hurt the middle class most is more and more power taken by the federal government leaving less and less power to the middle class.
The very rich can go elsewhere to advantage themselves and the poor are largely in favor of the federal government forcing the middle class to serve them.
So who hates the middle class most? The Republicans who at least recognize the problem? Or the Democrats who argue to not only keep such a system but to make it bigger and stronger?
So you don't think regulated capitalism can be a benefit to everyone?
the poor are largely in favor of the federal government forcing the middle class to serve them.
This is the type of thing I am talking about. Even when its regulated it ends up with the wealthy having so much power that they can make people believe this

That is dangerous.
That's the beauty of capitalism, it inevitably favors the wealthy.
