There isn't any point in rational discussion with most of the ideologues here. Essentially most of the opinions on this forum are from the perspective of the
'anarcho-capitalists' , and virtually every argument they dredge up is just recycled dreck from 50 years of that philosophy being batted around. IOW, they ain't got nothin' new to say.
Suffice to say this: Football has rules; baseball has rules; every game on Earth is defined by its rules. The American economy's rules are defined by its people - assumptively for their benefit. Restricting competition for jobs to members of the team - i.e., citizens - is one of the rules. That is clearly to the benefit of the team members. People who break that rule are....cheating.
And that's all they are: cheaters. And cheaters get thrown out of the game.
I like the analogy. By the same ethos that welcomes illegal labor, we'd have the richest little league team, or high school team winning every time -- they could hire pros. Why not! It's a free market! That is a anarcho, illegal free market. It falls apart every time it is tried -- observe Russia today, the mobster oligarchs who arose in such anarchy are now being overthrown by the the military autocrats -- Putin at al.
Everyone prefers the free market that endures and prospers -- and history shows that's only the one with some clear simple and honest rules.
Yup. But hey, I'm always interested in hearing an opposing viewpoint that's rational and laid out properly. IF it even exists, that is.
