Remember, I am speaking to you not as a republican. in 1987 as a 13 year old me, my father and my mom came to this country with absolutely nothing. And we HAVE been in desperate situations, and that is precisely what I do not want to wish upon anyone, other than perhaps the bankers who created the system in the first place. do not take me for a libertarian, I'm a human being.As for the "willing forced" quote. I actually didn't say that but I referenced a market situation where someone can find themselves in a desperate situation. A common illustrative example is the person in the desert dying of thirst who would be willing to pay anything for water. The real world example is the labor market where labor can have inelastic demand for wages producing results like child labor, poor working conditions, etc.
BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK DEEPER INTO THE PROBLEM IF YOU WANT TO SOLVE IT (something I believe GOP and the LP due to their attempt to play the same game, fail to do)
YES, a person dying of thirst in the desert should be helped and not be taken advantage of. But is that as far as we should look, when there may be at least two options: 1. no one is there in the desert with his water fountain stand, because there are not enough customers, or 2. when he sees an occasional victim, he better rip him off good. And that has a lot to do with why I'm not too in love with American system, anyway.......
Deserts are one thing, but as we know there are man made deserts (recessions). I think in America, there is no better example than market crash of 1929, the great depression. and if you want to continue looking short term, then we really are just not speaking the same language, but if you want to understand as I decided to wake up and understand, you have to realize WHY the founding fathers were warning about money lenders years and decades before they finally took it over in 1913, WHY the people, starting with children in schools are now being taught that they were slave owners, WHY just less than a year after that WW1 started, WHY depression in USA was a good way to get USA into the WW2, and WHY wars are a way to create those deserts, teach kids to keep smiling while a class of billionaires who controls those governments hide in the shadows.
It is IMPOSSIBLE for me to believe that these billionaires would be anything without their full control of the government, but sadly many people are easily bamboozled, when the propaganda plays in stereo (left vs. right circus, MSNBC vs. FOX NEWS etc.)
