Is Income Inequality Leading To A Crisis For Capitalism?

[georgephillip]

Good god's just another lie the rich tell.
Surely you're not too stupid to notice.

Btw, Stupid. Have you noticed Republicans AND Democrats mandate "health care" that's administered by for-profit corporations? In other words, the 1% add to their wealth by denying medical treatment to those who aren't rich.

Capitalism at its finest, right?

Usually, when I post to you, I respect your little tin deity and use "good Obama," but it doesn't flow well.

Makes sense, he's a pretty shitty god.

So, with not a single Republican voting for fascist care, this means Republicans and democrats?

Yeah, it doesn't really work that way.

In other words, the 1% add to their wealth by denying medical treatment to those who aren't rich.

I'm sure that made sense in context to the hating point you got it from, but as a non-sequitur, it's meaningless babble.

Capitalism at its finest, right?

Obamacare? That would be fascism, not capitalism.

An introduction to economics course would do you wonders.

would you like to see health care and all other goods and services administered by non-profits? why?

Libertarians and Republicans mean to drown government in the closest bathtub while giving corporations even more control over society.

If libertarians drown government then it will not have the breath or authority to give corporations control over society? A child can understand this, just not a liberal.

In a libertarian world corporations live and die based only on whether they produce the best product in the world at the lowest price.

Who controls the monopoly of violence in a libertarian/Republican/corporate world, Mussolini?

1) dear, Mussolini was a liberal fascist for very very big liberal central government!! Libertarians are for the exact opposite??


2) You are 100% confused. I hope you are in High School or less?


3) would you like to see health care and all other goods and services administered by non-profits? why? How will you learn if you are afraid to try?

Are libertarians in favor of privatizing the monopoly of violence?
It's a simple question.
Isn't it?

simple?? I have no idea what on earth you are talking about? Do you have any idea what you are talking about and why you are trying to change the subject?

for 4th time, should all goods be administered by non-profits?

 

[georgephillip]

All goods and services should be administered by whichever economic model provides the lowest overall price to consumers. Health care and education should be provided by non-profits large enough to provide economies of scale, like governments. Simple enough?

Now tell us if libertarians support private courts.
Fire departments?
Police??

and has the little boy deceided whether that economic model is capitalist or communist????

isn't health care a good or service like above?????????????????????

Now tell us if libertarians support private courts.
Fire departments?
Police??

Libertarians since Jefferson have supported courts etc. Why do you ask??? Did you think Jefferson was an anarchist?? Welcome to your first lesson in American History

 

[georgephillip]

Do you think Jefferson owned slaves?
Was he overly concerned with property rights?

George, as a liberal, are you intelligent enough to be here?Jefferson and the others created and lived on the cusp of history. For them it was a huge revolution to believe that they themselves could be free, let alone real slaves after 10000 years of slavery. But even so, Jefferson's original draft of the Constitution was more about slavery than taxes. He and the others knowingly fired the shot heard around the world even when they had no idea if it would hit its target or the personal consequences they would suffer would be deadly. To say that our Founders were born slave holders is true, but it is also true that they did more to set in motion freedom for slaves than all human beings or any other group in all of human history. Certainly they did more than any of us would have had the intelligence and courage to do given the times in which they lived and the consequences they faced; so lets all thank God for these incredible heroes who, most recently, freed 1.5 billion from communism with their undying influence.

Those among us who imagine they are morally superior to the Founders are fools too stupid to know they inheritied their wisdom without so much as a drop of blood, a calorie of effort, the inkling of a thought, or an ounce of morality

How many slaves did Tom Paine own?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

How many slaves did Tom Paine own?

the question is, if you are intelligent, how many was he born with!!

Do you imagine you would have freed your slaves and gone to jail?

Are you trying to make an argument against Republican limited government or just flailing about wildly?

 

[georgephillip]

Are you endorsing chattel slavery or simply being a (rich) bitch?

 

[EdwardBaiamonte]

what???

 

[Katzndogz]

Thomas Jefferson was an abolitionist. He owned slaves because there was no MACHINERY and the idea of wages hadn't caught on.

 

[georgephillip]

Do you think private fortunes would have come into existence without chattel slavery?

 

[Katzndogz]

Pretty much nothing would have come into existence without chattel slavery. Slavery wasn't invented by the Confederacy. It is utterly idiotic to take standards of today and apply them to the entirety of past history. There was no machinery, no industry, there was no concept of working for wages. At best a freeman working for someone would be a child apprenticed out (sold) to learn a trade. In exchange he got room, board and basic necessities. The artists who decorated the tombs of the Pharoahs were slaves as much as those who built them. Temple and court physicians were slaves. Everyone who wasn't a slave owner was a slave or ekeing out some kind of living in the hinterlands.

Lets go back through the historical record and condemn slavery because the slaves weren't employees. Ridiculous and idiotic to the nth degree.
