What say you?
LMFAO!!! Free markets?? When did we ever have free markets? Please educamate me...duh. Perhaps before 1913? Nope! Perhaps before 1879? Yeah...maybe.
I could give two shitz about your goddman capitalism. It has stymied human evolution to the tune of over 100 years. We had the opportunity to be a more advanced society but unfortunately everything is geared towards "profits". And not ordinary profits...but mega profits garnered on cheap, unreliable products built outside of our country. Yeah...I want that back so I can have some more. NOT.
Everything is capitalized to the nth degree regardless of how cheap and unsophisticated the technology or material. Take for example a simple telephone land line. How many times over have we paid for switching stations and lines? How expensive is it for a archaic device known as the telephone? Hell...the bill is more complicated than the technology itself? Trumped up charges for puffed-up services is the norm. Landlines should be less than $5/month, and everyone would probably have one!
Capitalism is pure unrelenting greed because it is in the hands of man. And all men enjoy the taste of greed and arrogance and power. All can be corrupted. That's why there are no free markets and capitalism is another myth fed to the sheeple.
You wanna fix this world. Make it a law that no one has more than $5 million in cash or assets. How about that? Maybe 99.9% of the greed could then be focused on helping humanity evolved on a more successful and rewarding path. Maybe folks would want to be recognized PUBLICLY for their contributions to society. Maybe we would be more productive and actually produce something...instead of creating paper profits from zero productivity.
Yeah, the worlds a freaking farce and most of you continue to accept the paradigm from the institutional processor placed in your head during your early years.
Venture out for once. Enjoy life and forget the madmen and their ridiculous rules.
Whoa dude, take a pill. It cracks me up when commie wanna-be's talk about "profit" and "profit motive" like it's a bad thing. Why do any ofus go to work everyday except that we hope to profit from our labor? Going all the way back to basics, profit motive is nothing more than a desire to provide for yourself and your family. This is not shameful, it is noble. Does it get out of whack sometimes? Of course, no system is perfect, but Capitalism and the free-market system, particularly in America, have created more good for more people than any other in the history of the world. It is not perfect, but it is as good as it gets.
True, there have note been utterly free markets; but there have been freer markets. And countries have become affluent and free in almost exact proportion to the freeness of their markets.
WOW- Another hypocrite trashing capitalism. Please remove from your life everything that is made based on capitalism- house, car, shoes, shirt, tv, radio, computer.. etc...and get back with us... Until then your statements are worthless...

This is the intended end game of all the Cloward-Piven that has been going on for decades. We haven't had a true free market since who knows when, and these reprobates are trying to pull the plug on what little remains.

Folks, the key missing element here is that some are NOT seeking to undermine "capitalism" here, but a mutant anti-democratic form of monopoly control that we still allow some to label capitalism. It is not just leftist who would like to see the current "system" destroyed. Patriots want that too, but gradually and without chaos. The effort seems now (on the part of even "patriot" tea party leaders in the MSM) to lump us with the terrorist left.
Even Glenn Beck is a long way from understanding that yet, as he basically runs cover for Wall Street, and JP Morgan, Chase and the corrupt Federal Reserve.
As always, we are being fed a false dichotomy. The choice is not between communism or global monopolism, it is between global monopolism m and a return to the Constitution and laizzes faire capitalism...i.e. we MUST revise corporate law so that corporations have a DUTY FIXED IN LAW to once again be temporary and to be beneficial to the interests of the people.
So true. If anyone doubts this, read Foundations by Rene Wormser to find out that the captains of industry heralded by our right-wing heros like Rush and Beck have actually funded left-wing social engineering. Most people don't realize that David Rockefeller did his PhD dissertation on Fabian Socialism and is quoted in the NYT as a big admirer of Mao.
dogismyth is a moron. No need to go any further.

I would suggest that this is caused by YOUR overestimation of your own importance. You are nothing more than a drone working for the man, defending his agenda while undermining your own well-being. Wake up dude, you are never going to be a Wall Street Tycoon, you will always be someone else doormat. Quit chasing the carrot the stick is too long. FYI, I never said i was Defending the plan, just saying, why the hysteria? Hysteria? Cause for concern? You might want to check out this link, from (GASP!) a Liberal site. This "one guy" with his connections to SEIU gives people of various backgrounds cause for concern. Like anyone who has a 401K plan, for example, should be concerned!
