I'll stick up for you. Hey, everybody, citizen is not ignorant.
Which reminds me of something else that my dad liked to say. It really works better as a back and forth...
Hey. Some of the guys were making fun of you today. They said you eat shit sandwiches. I stuck up for you. I told them you didn't like bread.

dreamtrove - I suggest you check out the website and educate yourself on the fair tax. Much of what you're basing your views on is contradictory to the facts. But if you still feel that way after you've checked out the site or read Neal Boortz's book on the FAIR TAX, then we'll simply have to agree to disagree.
People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

"Clinton waited for 8 years". Ass-wipe, get a clue. I have the real story here but I'm waiting for you to post ANY documentation for your fabrication. I'm not going to spend my time proving you wrong. You made the claim. Now back it up. If you can.
"(Halliburton')s a tired old song." But true.
I know who trains you to parrot their talking points. It's so obvious you haven't got a single idea in your head. You CAN'T talk about Katrina, because you just ain't got it.
rue, you're a moron. Plain and simple. I'm not lying simply because you don't like me talking about your messiah, Clinton. What I said was right, and if you don't like it, piss off. Truth hurts. Hold your breath, I'm not dealing w/ a pencil necked geek like you over this.
As for Katrina, I know far more about this than you. It's not even worth going over, you're such a clueless myrmidon.

Citizen,
I said I'm not getting baited in to your flame war. You are now the troll I have decided not to feed. 90% of everything you say is cr@p. Probably 100% of what you just posted re: me is wrong.

Signym,
Key as in Haliburton. Corporations which essentially aren't private sector businesses. They have basically one customer, and that is the federal govt. I hope you can see how that isn't free market capitalism, and much more closely resembles corporatism.

Auraptor who's so fearful he'll give up ANYTHING to feel safe.
I used to think this, but I'm beginning to suspect that he has a defense contractor job which depends on the current situation, but it actually makes him more nervous than he's letting on. Kudos btw to Finn for admitting to be for a policy (spending cuts) which was actually anti-Finn (cut his spending). I don't think there are a lot of us who would. I don't think he wanted his own spending trimmed, but still ideologically agrees with the idea.

Bush is not really interested in privatizing everything. He'll create favorable laws in return for mere contributions.
Sure, this is the part where they're hopelessly corrupt. But the problem is much worse than that. This is what happens with the logging companies and whatnot. The situation with big pharm and oil is more sinister.
Quote:
So I ask my question AGAIN: Who will blunt the power of corporations?
This power is essentially handed to the chosen corporations by the govt. Big media, and big pharm, essentially exist in all their bigness because of exclusive govt. licensing. Govt. decides who can run cable lines where, who can broadcast, which channels can go where. If it weren't so, there might be three different cable providers competing with completely different lines of channels. It would be chaos, with real competition. We're starting to see that with satellite, but the govt. through the FCC, is constantly skewing things in favor of companies like time warner that are intimately connected to them.
Even worse with big pharm. The right of a company to charge $600 a bottle for pills is a govt. enforced guarantee. The govt. prevents anyone else from making that product, and pays the lions share of the bill, thus allowing for the rediculous overcharge which a free market would not support. It's these extra billions big pharm mis making which makes them able to throw hookers at doctors, which is where the decision on your perscription really got made. Should there be govt? sure. Limited govt. which makes little rules that prevent drug companies from bribing doctors. But in general, since Bayer, and Now Foods aren't doing it, I humbly suggest that without the big payoffs this might not be a problem. One doctor only perscribe so many pills for a particular condition. It's only worth throwing a hooker at him if those are hundreds of dollars a hit.
The power of the corporations that you site is handed to them daily by the federal govt. Govt. keeps the price of oil high, and even hands free oil to the oil companies, thus, big money. It does what it can to interfere in any competing technologies (did you notice the import laws on cars? Toyota Prius was originally going to ship with 250mpg, until govt. regulation parred that down.) Or knocking stem cell research.
Govt. doesn't keep corporations in check, govt. keeps corporations in monopolistic megapower (it's not without govt. support that the walmart fungus grew.)
The free market will keep corporations in check. It's a far more democratic system than the govt. we have. If you don't want a service, you don't buy that service. Simple as that. All govt. should be doing is making sure that competition stays alive and that no one goes out and hires the mossad to remove their competitors.

Rue,
Halliburton is Clinton's baby. Who set Halliburton up with it's sweet deal position in the US military? Who fought the first wars for Halliburton? Who had secret meetings with Dick Cheney to set up the Halliburton take over? When did Halliburton become the tail that wagged the dog?
It all happened in 1995, and Bill Clinton was doing the driving, and Dick Cheney was CEO of Halliburton. Bush is just an heir to the Clinton throne.

Auraptor,
I read the webpage. But the fair tax is hardly a new idea. This has been dancing about for years in Europe, where it's called the VAT. If you think it aids commerce than think again. Not tons of euro-exports headed out way. Big govt. is to blame, slowing down the overall european economy, and the particular place where big govt. is a vampire in europe is on the VAT, or fair tax as its US proponents call it. I think this one is a proven failure. Like socialism. I'd like to move on to new ideas before we go through the horrid rigamarole of installing a completely new tax system.

100% of everything you say is crap, and everything you said about me, just like everything you ever say is wrong.
Quote:Pure capitalism as a system on it's own is also a failiure, but you won't hear that from this dickheads face, and he won't debate the idea because it knows it's wrong.

From now on I will treat you with the contempt you show everyone else. I will only lie to foster a bull shit point of view I know to be wrong, basically treating you the same as you treat everyone else.

Ass-wrap,
Quote:REALLY. Give me ONE link that backs you up. You can't b/c you you lie straight up. So you pretend you just won't be bothered. That's why you go away in a shit, oh, I mean sNit.
"What I said was right, and if you don't like it, piss off. Truth hurts. Hold your breath, I'm not dealing w/ a pencil necked geek like you over this."
I still have the whole 30 year story here about why the arsenic rules came about when they did. And it had NOTHING to do with Clinton, except he was president at the end of the process.
So, ASS-WIPE, put up. Or reveal yourself to be a liar AND a coward.
