Wrong wrong wrong! The massive corporations we have are because of the lobbying. It has lead to less competition allowing these monster corporations that buy other companies and become so large they are just as bloated and inefficient as government (well not that bad but pretty bad). If...
In a true free market system people vote with their dollars. Corporations would be beholden to the people and not the politicians that in a system like we have now, corporations lobby for special deals and regulations that would prevent competition from hurting them.
This is so wrong in so many way's. It goes completely opposite of what you previously quoted from me. Corporations have NO power without the government giving it to them. No matter how big they are. A true free market (Capitalism) isn't controlled in any way. That's why I've been saying, we...
Sometimes you can't do the things that may sound good in the long run because it will hurt and many times cause the deaths of millions of others to get there.
"A lot of people object to the power of corporations that they see and falsely associate that with capitalism. Some don't know that the term capitalism was invented by marxists, possibly even before Marx himself, but they still understand it in the marxist way, where a term like 'capitalocracy'...
Soooo.... you'd rather have little to no good invention and production? Have you seen the stuff that have come out of full on socialist countries? They are garbage! Your arguments are weak at best.
Nobody said they won't, but it's equally irrational to put a date on when that will happen because mankind has continually been able to find more and find ways to be more efficient.
Where did I ever say we should be completely unregulated? I'm only suggesting that the regulations have gone too far and need to be dialed back. Hell even congress mandated that the FAA needed to dial back their certification requirements because the costs were too great and the FAA basically...
Umm no, capitalism has nothing to do with why we still use 747's vs Concorde III's. It's regulation. When it costs nearly half a billion dollars to certify a newly designed airplane that probably only cost 20-30 million to design, innovation tends to fall to the wayside.
I think the...
If Canada's socialist healthcare is so good, why are they crossing the borders to come to our doctors?
When governments get involved it gets more expensive. Healthcare, Universities, Education, etc. Government is exceedingly bad at these things on a large scale. Especially when money and...
I agree there are pollution issues. The sad part is that we could be more clean now that we currently are, but the damn green movement is preventing this. Ironic isn't it? There is nothing more clean and that produces the amount of energy that nuclear power does. I know that the argument...
Wow, thin skinned? Saying easy to please wasn't a slam on your country, nor was it meant to be a slam in any way. I was making a general comparison that it's easier to make smaller groups of people happy with a set of regulations vs large groups. Sorry, but in comparison to the US, your...
I'm being too harsh. Look, there are things that are wrong with Capitalism, sure. There isn't a perfect system. You will always have people pissed/upset for one reason or another. Capitalism single handily brought most of the human race out of poverty. Yes, there is a huge income disparity...
Lol, some socialist programs don't make them full on socialist. Their basis is still from capitalism. Full on socialism will look like Cuba. Plus these are rather small countries. It's easier to please your people. Take a larger country like the US and socialism of this degree would be...
