Check out this sweet hat I just bought online.

Upton Sinclair was NOT the catalyst,nor the cynosure of the PURE FOOD AND DRUG ACTS. Neither did his book do anything much to the CBOT's ways of operating.

Congress passes laws and dear old Upton never did win a seat,Bob.

Not "everyone" worked for the railroads,oil business,etc., so claiming that all would have been in thrall of those " evil" Robber Barons, without good old Teddy R.,is hyperbolic, nauseating bloviating;not to mention revisionist history. And,in point of fact, men were still "serfs",well into the mid 20th century ( think coal miners ),which easily refutes your spurious statements.

Yes, your posts are rather yawn inducing, when they aren't hysterical laughter producing, from the laughably rotten,factless,error filled contents. ;^)

[Texasforever]

And while you are doing what needs to be done he will still be posting these pitiful calls for sympathy. Good luck bro.

[nopardons]

GREAT hat and your previous post was worth one of my rare BRAVOS ! :-)

Tell that to the wife of my friend who died from emphasima because he couldn't breath.

Tell that to the wife of my friend who died from emphasima because he couldn't breath.

Look, the guy is NOT dying and given his complete lack of knowledge of the disease it is likely he doesn't even have it. His entire tale stinks like fish. A lot of people die of emphysema every year and all over 60 years old. Look it up. He is 35. He only uses an inhaler and he says his last PFT was 4 years ago. That is crap, when diagnosed with the disease a pft is standard once a year. The guy is as phony as a 3 dollar bill.

No the super capitalists do not want a command economy. Command economies don't give an opportunity for real competition or allow the business to expand as they wish, command economies are not capitalist in nature and have the exact opposite goal of capitalism.

[discostu]

I support restrictions that will WORK. The anti-offshoring restriction protectionists demand won't work, at worst they'll make businesses go under, at best they'll make businesses setup legal fictions and won't slow down offshoring for a second.

[discostu]

No I state that they have no DUTY and don't even touch on whether or not they should be regulated. Your basic problem in all this is that you don't know what the words we're working with mean. Here let me help:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=duty
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=regulation
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=restriction

See corporations have a DUTY to profit.
Government has a duty to REGULATE.
Regulations create RESTRICTIONS.

No one, no person or corporation, has a duty to be regulated or restricted. That doesn't mean there shouldn't be regulations, just that it's not the corporation's job to MAKE the regulations. That's the government's job. Seperation of duties is an important concept in the American republic.

[discostu]

A pretty lame excuse, expecially considering you stayed up later than I did.

You're right it's going nowhere. But it's going nowhere because you refuse to understand the most basic concepts of business and law. And the liar here is YOU. You're not worth FR's time, you're a communist who hates freedom and the economic system that has given you the tools you use to whine and complain about it. Take a BUS101 class, you'll learn a lot.

If I remember correctly, The bad economy was caused by bad capitalists, kulaks (the only capitalists left in russia), who, in spite of a very bad and dangerous wheat mold, poisonsous, harvested their wheat and made it into bread, which ended up killing millions of people either from the bad wheat or from starvation.

Wow, this is a first. Stalin slaughtered the Kulaks, but they deserved it?

Did the Jews deserve it too? Just curious.

Yes, they most definitely do. Command economies mean executives don't have to worry about competition. They can come into the office at ten, have a two hour lunch, and leave at five. They can merge into the New Class and be polite and urbane and comfortable. They can insure that their children will be able to follow in their footsteps and have it easy because connections are more important than raw ability in command economies.

[discostu]

It also means they're not in charge of their business decisions. The government tells them what to make, how to make it, how many to make and what to charge, and if nobody wants what you make that's just too bad. There's no room for innovation, there's no room for horizontal market expansion, there's no room for verticle market expansion, there's no room to be a business.

Which would you rather be CEO of: IBM or Amtrak? That's the difference between capitalism and command economy.

Bingo!! I think Willie Green is CEO of Amtrak, what do you think?

[discostu]

I htink he's Gomez Addams... and we all know what Gomez liked to do with his trains.

[Toddsterpatriot]

It's been so long. Did he crash them? Or blow them up?

[discostu]

Both. first with model trains, put bits of explossives on them and ran them into each other, then he ran out of model trains and bought a railroad company, ran a line through a swamp. One of my favorite episodes.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Yeah, I vaguely remember explosions.

[Havoc]

I didnt' say I was dying of it Texas. I said I have a terminal disease. A term which you then perverted by using the insurance definition of the term rather than the textbook definition. Beyond that, how I handle my medical affairs is my business. I tend to see the doc and let him tell me if there's anything new to worry about. He knows my charts. When I was in 6 months ago, they checked me and said I might consider breathing treatments but that it didn't look at the time as though it were really needed. You're not my doctor and as far as I'm concerned you can stuff it. If it becomes necessary to pour over my medical records to prove my case, I'm quite ready to have someone of authority do so. You don't merit such consideration. I misrepresented nothing. And since you can't stop me from talking about the issue I took up, you're going after me personally. Sounds vaguely familiar.

[Havoc]

I'm not crying on anyone's shoulder - note the complete absence of me asking anyone to do anything for me specifically. Oh, missed that huh. If it all get's fixed it won't have any affect on me personally. Gee, wonder why he's talking then, huh. Maybe because he has a conviction that what's happening is wrong and he wants to try to do something about it - even if that means being savaged by a bunch of complete jackasses here...
