Late Cycle Capitalism

[Montegriffo]

I'd be more than happy to give those teachers and Betsy the exact same federal income tax rate (zero), and those downtrodden teachers the opportunity to earn an excellent salary in the voluntary education sector.

I guess you're the handyman who solves the leaky roof problem with a match and gasoline. No more roof problem for sure.

Businesses, like foxes, are amoral. People who forget that will suffer the consequences of not putting a fence around the chicken coup.

I think it's worse than that, though. Look at that article I quoted. This character thinks he has a moral imperative to drive up prices as high as possible for a life-saving antibiotic, all based on an artificial monopoly the state granted.

Most of the republican party is infested with people like this, and they are the only thing standing between us an the oblivion that the democrats promise this country.

To say I am worried about it is an understatement.

Absent a state granted and enforced IP monopoly, competing for top price is just the ticket.

Kill the state, and we kill the graft.

There’s an irony filter built into my iPhone that prevents me from typing anti-merchant screeds from the comfort of my own home.


Shoulda bought a jail-break version I guess.

Good guess.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but is there a thread or website that explains how your "tiny govt" society works? I'm truly curious, half the reason I drop by here is to see how some people think completely differently from me.

Spengler baby where are you?

Hundred years now from the publication of his first volume of Der Untergang des Abendlandes.

Talk about things that take very long to come... if they come.

On average Americans buy 68 garments a year? That's insane. I probably buy less than 5. I suppose it's women buying 120 a year.

Bingo.

Break it up by sex to see the truth.

Whole lot a metro dudes out there and lots of credit cards to go around. Consumerism. Our god is a consuming fire.
