Do you deny that we have a corporatist government and have had for several decades?

Great many people throw around the word "corporatism" but don't specify what it means to them. It has meant many different things to great many people (see, e.g., Wikipedia's article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatism).

You could also ask, are you for or against capitalism? A person may be all for capitalism (as I am) but still be against unbridled capitalism that allows for a few monopolies to be formed.

The point is, one has to be careful with such all-inclusive notions. The devil is in specifics.

As I said many times on this forum, if you have specific events, tendencies, etc. to discuss, by all means, let's do that. But wholesale notions and accusations do not help us to identify true enemies trying to ruin this great country of ours.

I gave you specific examples.

government (taxpayer forced) bailouts of private companies.

government (taxpayer forced ) subsidies of private companies and nearly entire industries in some cases

government writing/enforcing tax codes and regulations which specifically favor one or more corporations (or entire sectors of the economy) to the detriment of open competition.

What a funny liar you are!!!!LOL!!!!!!!

“...are you for or against capitalism? A person may be all for capitalism (as I am) but still be against unbridled capitalism that allows for a few monopolies to be formed.”

But you are blind to the monopolies growing at the top. No, look away, you say. You did not see that right. LIAR. The banks since 2008 have been concentrating their power NOW, as the good banks get eaten up by banks THAT SHOULD HAVE FAILED. That is NOT CAPITALISM!!!! That is COMMUNISM!!!!

You are a tiring piece of retarded work. YOU are not smart or bright. You are an ivory tower idiot who can not even read, can only ask questions without bothering to read the answers, or answer them without being a pompous @ss.

“But wholesale notions and accusations do not help us to identify true enemies trying to ruin this great country of ours.”
The true enemies trying to ruin this country are idiots like you who do all you can, pick on women, and try to obfuscate the REAL ISSUES so that

COMMIES
