Conservatives Worship the Market

the purpose of the stock market is not, and never was, to help the poor. However, if you are a poor or middle income person with a 401K, the market is helping you be able to retire in relative comfort some day.
Indeed, especially if you retired in 2008/2009 :alcoholic:
If you retired in 2008/2009 and had just lost a lot in the market, it would have been your own fault for having too much of your nest egg in the market at that age.

Between January 1 2007 and December 31 2008, the overall bond market (VBTLX) was UP 1.70%.

The government did not do nothing in 1920.
It is their true God. It can do no wrong. It solves all problems. The ultra rich are the Market God's chosen ones, and the conservatives believe that if they worship the market and enslave themselves to it, they too will become chosen ones.

Market worship is a religion that has de facto supplanted Christianity, although they use Christianity to hate on gays and science. The Bible and Christianity at times provide useful justification for Conservatives in their development of a fascist state cloaked in Christian Theocracy, but ultimately bound to the One True God ... The Market. You see, in the Conservative Utopia which they strive for, the conservatives use Christianity to control the peoples' minds, and once the minds are under control the Christian God becomes one in the same as the Market God. And then the Market God will be unchained. 90% will become slaves who live in huts, and their Corporate Masters will raise armies to control their domains. You will be the slave of your corporate owner, working 7 days a week, and if you disobey the punishment will be death.

That is the America that the False Conservative Utopia promised by their Idol the Market God will actually become, not a thing like the utopia that was promised. You will be a slave, and your life expectancy will become 45 because you will be worked to the bone and Healthcare will become a "priviledge" not a right, and they aren't even hiding that they believe that.

Only Progressivism can save you from this fate. Repent and believe.
Geezus, they got nuttier and more stupid as time goes on. This moron might beat Billy Triple Fail in the stupid department.
No, dope. We dont worship the market. We recognize the market does a superior job of allocating resources than government control does.
Go take an Econ course and come back.
Which explains the wonderful job the "markets" did for the poor before FDR stepped in.


FDR prolonged a depression and turned it into the Great Depression. The Depression of 1920 also happened and the government did nothing to "fix" it, the Market was allowed to correct itself….it lasted about 1 year. FDR stepped in in the 30s to get us out of the depression……and it lasted till the outbreak of WW2. And unemployment never fell below 14%…….so FDR did nothing for the poor but keep them poor…….

That's totally false. The depression that started in 1929 was far more severe than previous depressions/panics. It is your religion that leads you to believe that the Market God would have solved things itself.

FDR saved this nation. Progressivism saved this nation. Without them, the Great Depression would have destroyed our country as we know it. And they created programs that have improved our quality of life to this day.


No….FDR pushed us into a deeper, more desperate economic situation and we didn't recover until WW2, nothing he did helped, it just made it worse. AGain, we had a depression in 1920, the government did nothing…..and we were out in a year.

Completely false

1) The government did not do nothing on 1920

2) FDR didn't take office until the depression had been raging for 2 years.

3 ) FDR didn't cause the 1930s drought that was one of the major factors slowing economic recovery

One end worships their God, the other worships government.

Worship closes the mind.

I humbly disagree. My experience with worshiping the Almighty has enlightened my mind and expanded my vision quite extensively.

Weapons Grade Stupidity illustrated right here folks.

Regressive libtardism is a cult of it's own worshiping at the altar of the collectivist state and willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of people, they've done so many times before and they're trying their damnedest to get our guns and do it again.


You are voting for people who want the ultra rich to own you. That is weapons grade stupidity. I don't care about your gun. So long ad you are law abiding, keep it. I don't want to take it from you. Relax.

You're right. In 1920 the government did do something. They cut taxes and cut spending and got out of the way.
 
"Conservatives Worship the Market"

File this under 'Stupid Things People Say When They Try To Speak For Someone Else'....

Anyone can play this 'game' - Give it a try:

'All Liberals are sexually repressed Islamic Extremist Sympathizing Socialists'

'All Libertarians Secretly Believe Ben Franklin Wore a Corset, Push-Up Bra, and High Heels'

....what you got?

Of course I explained mine rationally and accurately, which you of course cannot do with those.

Democrats support Illegal Mexican murderers and give them sanctuary Cities.
 
Of course I explained mine rationally and accurately, which you of course cannot do with those.

As usual, 'you' are missing the big picture -- maybe my biggest pet peeve is anyone who tries to speak FOR me instead of sticking to declaring what THEY believe. You don't KNOW me any better than you know 'ConservativeS'. You have no factual, historical basis from which to speak FOR them. You're just generalizing and making stuff up by declaring '(all) Conservatives' do 'this' or 'that'.

Usually the person making such statements pretty much hates the group they are doing that to and is over-exaggerating or adding stuff to make them seem negative or dare I say, completely 'wrong'.

In the end, such people should just stick to declaring what THEY believe because they end up usually $u@king at trying to legitimately speak for others....

...but that's just me. Carry on, and just pretend I never said anything.

I say what I say based on the words of conservatives. You can witness market worship in any economic thread here, including this one from 2aguy.

You guys are masters at blaming a President for things that were made inevitable before his term even started.

No, it was the tabs of acid that enlightened your mind. As for expanding your vision extensively , that's a toss up between your new prescription glasses or the binoculars you bought.

So you have heard the words of ALL Conservatives and have the intellectual wisdom, intelligence, experience, etc to appoint yourself as the best judge to translate, interpret, and speak for all Conservatives?! ROFLOL!

They increased unemployment assistance and passed tariffs.

I didn't use the word "all" in my post. I used the word "conservatives" and left the interpretation of exactly who that applies to up to the reader. Some conservatives do not believe they worship the Market God, but the policies you support are developed by people who do.
