    Ah. Now I get it. You're saying that in order to be on the right you have to subscribe to all of the right's tribal oaths but in order to be on the left you don't have to subscribe to all of the left's tribal oaths. Thanks for clearing that up.

    10 or 20 years ago i read the actual cost of gasoline would be close to 20 a gallon if we factored in the security provided by our military for the oil industry, do you think our armed forces are not actually just oil company security in the mideast?

    The worst possible example you could have used.

    A CARTOON, which just happens to have exactly the right number and sizes of characters, to make a BS picture look like a noble thing.

    What if there are five or six of them. What if the smallest one 'made himself small' so he could get more free boxes? What if the tallest one has to do three times the work of the others to see over the fence without a box?

    Equity is the very devil.

    ~Socialism


    " Today, many socialists have also adopted the causes of other social movements such as feminism, environmentalism and progressivism"

    "The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which the means of production are collectively owned but a completely classless society has not yet been achieved."

    Conservatives, are more about God, Family, and Country. You know, things that Democrats are against in America.

    Not in the sense you probably mean. That's the very last thing it should be doing.

    Provide the free education and healthcare, by all means .. but that's it as far as personal support should ever go. The rest of Govt focus should be on maintaining strong infrastructure, national self-sufficiency, and borders. With that work done by our Govts, we are free to grow as we see fit.

    It could actually be argued that debt causes the worker to work.
    It could be argued, companies borrow creating debt, thus binding them to fulfill a need.
    Economics is theory, that always starts with a problem needing to be solved, or a demand needing to be met.

    I'm called everything from communist to conservative.

    It's what happens when you're politically atheist. It's one thing to vote in a particular direction (as I do), another to make politics your religion.

    Sure. That's infrastructure, not spoon feeding individuals.

    "Equality means equal treatment, unbiased competition and impartially judged outcomes.

    Equity means equal outcomes, achieved if necessary by unequal treatment, biased competition and preferential judging."
