You just became Andrew Jackson's best friend post mortem.
Many times this winds up being a vote for the greater of 2 evils.
I get your point, probably some truth too there, but I guess I see it more the other way because businesses are spending so much money supporting...
I currently don't seem to have much of a choice when voting. I can: A.) Vote for a Republican, who is bought and paid for by a corporation,...
What if I find that having more things doesn't make me happier, wheres the incentive?
Even if everyone developed a skill, someone would still have to flip the burgers, there isn't an infinite number of skilled jobs. I guess you...
That's the rub. Perhaps if we paid a higher minimum wage people like me would be driven to work. Perhaps if we just get rid of the social safety...
Your problem with me seems to be my honesty. If I hadn't taken the time to tell you, or maybe brought it up in a different light (lied to you),...
Shareholders got the bailout, but yes the people working there got to keep their job too.
They bailed it out of bankruptcy, and then sold it at a loss. Who do you think wanted the bailout? Maybe the private business owners?
Agreed. Why do you think that is?
When you realize more and more corporations are running the government, its not such a conundrum anymore.
I looked into this respondeat superior a bit more, and your very black and white portrayal of this in your quote is definitely the lawyer coming...
I agree that there is graft also involved in the premium, again I can accept it, although I would agree it would be nice to try to reduce THIS...
Read that entire thread, and then get back to me. Especially posts #70 and #76 on pages 7 and 8.
We're on the same page, that's kind of what I was alluding to in this post. It traps people (or I thought it might) into seeing things more...
Great Point. I fear anyone with too much power, I just feel that the pendulum has swung too far right. The real scary part to me is how hard it...
Again cocaine-laced green beans are intentionally satirical. Cocaine in coca-cola was also used due to its addictive nature, not just the jolt....
I'm not an anomaly. Working class people (and even welfare recipients) typically are not short time/money (although assuredly the inclination) to...
Coca-Cola tried it before there were such laws. LOTS of companies put LOTS of crazy things into there products before we regulated it. The...
Interesting take. I kind of agree now that you put it that way, but what about Public Company's indirect control of government, don't you think...
This is true, and I think everyone is aware of it. People aren't saying we don't ultimately pay for these regulations as consumers, we're saying...
Crime, yes because it becomes a crime to use or hold it. Addiction and/or Drug Use no, because making it illegal drives up the price which drives...
I would think that proves the opposite. One entity not needing to be consistent (or even give lip service) would tend to make it harder to see...
Not which is more abusive, which abuse is easier to see.
Separate names with a comma.
