Thread: I have finally figured it out...

I finally understand how liberals view society including the intricacies of how members of this society exchange goods and services.

You can sum it up in one sentence. They have a great dislike for the concept of a free market. Everything is based around that simple concept.

Class warfare, subjective salaries, progressive taxation, opposition to profit. All of this is centered around their failure to have any amount of faith in the system.

They want to take us back to England at the time of our revolution and tell us what the peasants will earn, how much the wealthy will pay, who is allowed to keep the profits of their labor. They want to be King!

And to call themselves progressive. HA!

The only consistent theme I've been able to identify among "liberals" is their unshakable faith in the rightness of their own subjective value system.

yes yes. They do want to establish their own value system, and doing so gives them complete control.

The only problem is that their "value system" is entirely dependent upon the individual espousing it. A "fair" wage, for instance.

So the left believes faithfully in the free market concept?

republicans want to do away with the min wage, imagine what that world would look like, corps would not have to outsource for cheap wages, they could hire people for slave wages here

remember the only reason for doing away with the min wage is because some want to pay workers less then the min wage

The minimum wage increases unemployment, so they should get rid of it.

You didn't answer my question.

Does the left, no scratch that, do you have faith in the free market system?
