    That you have no interest in actually researching the subject matter means that you have effectively disqualified yourself from any further meaningful interaction on this topic as far as I am concerned. If you change your mind and want to actually discuss the topic in depth then read the linked article and quote what you disagree with and we can take it from there.

    Your choice.

    This is interesting. Can you refer me to Marxist currency theory? Perhaps also refer to their inflation theory?

    Perhaps you know the fifth plank of Marx's manefesto? I'm sure you do.

    oh so there were 100's of banks that went bankrupt but you wanted them all to go bankrupt to cleanse the system so it could return to pure capitalism?

    Come now. I simply ask for theoretical detail. Can you refer to it? Given your 'divide and conquer' approach, the inflation theory might be right up your street!

    Argue? Nah! Given you seem to know all about Marxism, I thought you could treat us all with more information over their inflation analysis. No problem if you've gone all shy on us!

    So you don't actually know any Marxist inflation theory? That's darn inconvenient, so it is!

    why play trivial pursuit? Are you afraid to defend liberal statism?

    I'm not a liberal. You've been told this numerous times. Why not try 'learning'?

    From my personal life experience the country as a wholewas far better off under Eisenhower and his top tax rates in the 90% tax range than it has been at any time since.That was when the interstate highways system was started and infrastructure was state of the art,and we were the envy of the rest of the world.Oh how we have fallen.

    Are you using Marxist theory when making that evaluation?

    Given I am educated I know that "libcommie statist" is cretinous. You manage three errors in one mind you!

    not to our Founders who made libcommie socialist fascist monarchy statism illegal in America, and thus built the greatest country in human history by far . Do you imagine that if they had know about market socialism they would have an exception? See why we say liberalism is based in pure ignorance? Is any other conclusion possible?

    The owner of the road should set his prices such that those who do the most damage to the road (the farmer) pay the highest fees to use the road. That seems only reasonable.
