Quote: Why, We elect our government! So when do I get to elect a new CEO of Monsanto??? I contend businesses do have the power to level cities... The only factor driving buisness is profit. There are no morals in profit. Second only to Religion, wars are fought over resources.. Why are...

Quote: I am not prepared to write a business plan for the US economy here on a chicken forum on this Sunday morning.. But YES... I 100% agree instead of bashing others ideas it is wise to simply propose your own... (One of the reasons I have a level of disdain for the recent approach of the...

Quote: Unfortunately there is no empirical evidence to support this mythos. It's a Randian fallacy that the wealthy will act in a socially responsible manner or even with enlightened self-interest. They act with just plain old self-interest. Like the rest of us. Agreed Nonseq, I believe this...

I have WHAT in my yard? : Q9 said: Both Republicans and Democrats have been buying Keynes' bull for a LONG time now. That's why we're in this mess. As for your "neo-liberal" economics, you really need to study history better. We have been kneeling at the altar of Keynes' discredited...

Quote: I'm more of a revenue tariff guy myself. MODEST revenue tariff, mind you. Just enough to fund what is permitted by the Constitution. That way, it favors no one, and it can be quite small, to the point of being unnoticeable. Total agreement on the IRS - THIEVES!

It's actually my position that the mess began in 1913 - founding of the Federal Reserve. You're right, we can't blame Obama or Bush. We CAN blame the Fed, corporatists, and Congress, however.

Quote: True about Republican spending; they're mostly hypocrites. However... You're saying we should keep corporate welfare? And I always though cocoa, coffee, and sugar grew a lot better in South American/Caribbean countries. If there weren't protectionist tariffs making South American and...

Quote: Keep on dreaming. The spending isn't going to stop. Look at historical spending from the party of NO. Historically the party of NO runs the debt up and cuts taxes, particularly for the wealthy. The party of common sense usually spends less and gets the deficit down. This time around the...

Meh. Aside from a very few Tea Party folks (Rand Paul in particular) I figure we're still royally screwed - just in red this time. At least Pelosi *Shudder* isn't Speaker of the House anymore.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/02/AR2010110207118.html Sweeping Republican victory. I like the way Rubio phrased it, though. "This is not an endorsement of Republican principles. This is a second chance." Politicians need to remember that they can't just keep...
