I'm confused ? Exactly what part of the Bible was it that God wrote?If free market capitalism is so natural, why didn't God include it in the Bible?

Read the post I actually replied to, genius.HUH? What is your point?
Every word of it you heathen!I'm confused ? Exactly what part of the bible was it that God wrote?
First, I CARE.Who cares how the US Govt was cajoled/coerced into engaging in this stunningly bad policy?
At this point, what does it matter?
The damage has been done.
Otherwise the two operative words are cronyism and entropy.
The dynamic duo.
Great answer, I'll put U on my list of scholars with Red and Doer.Every word of it you heathen!
The damage has been mitigated and stopped? Reversed?First, I CARE.
Second, it matters because without addressing the cause, merely treating the symptoms won't solve the problem.
Third, it's a construct of Man- there's nothing irreversible and therefore the damage can be mitigated and stopped- even to an extent reversed.
Your attitude is exactly the one they want to see; self effacing helplessness.
How is that attitude going to get anywhere productive?
Neoliberal economics; yes, read the other seven pages and the Wikipedia definition while you're at it.So are you saying that neoclassical economics somehow means neoliberal? Because neoclassical economics is just a system of mathematical equations that explain supply-side economics, generally championed by a small number of elite universities because of the mathematical rigor that goes into setting up the model. Mathematical rigor that makes it difficult to use real world data to back up what they would expect.
Mostly you will find that the other schools of thought are used for guiding and evaluating the economy that is mostly build from the old keynsian system of equations. These are the ones that get called 'liberal' and have nothing to do with the article you posted.
Ill read the other 7 pages later, just realized that they were there.
The only way to throw the bums out is to change the system, which is how things got this way to begin with.The damage has been mitigated and stopped? Reversed?
News to me. Surely you jest.
I want to throw all of these elected bums out of office, that is the only solution.
And methinks it may be too late.
Cronyism and entropy.
lol haven't you been around a while?Great answer, I'll put U on my list of scholars with Red and Doer.
Every word of it you heathen!
I think his response can be summed up as 'sarcasm.'Great answer, I'll put U on my list of scholars with Red and Doer.
If this can be changed...of course the system is awash in money, how is this to be fixed?The only way to throw the bums out is to change the system, which is how things got this way to begin with.
The system is awash in money and therefore totally corrupt, unless of course you have lots of money, in which case your power to influence things is out if all proportion to the democratic ideal of one person, one vote.
This can be changed, and blathering about cronyism and entropy is both unhelpful and simply silly.
I propose that no entity save a living, breathing registered voter can donate money to a campaign or candidate, and that no registered voter may spend more than $100 on campaigns or candidates in total in any election cycle.If this can be changed...of course the system is awash in money, how is this to be fixed?
What change do you endorse?
Read to me like he was defending his position: GOD wrote it all.I think his response can be summed up as 'sarcasm.'
Revolution...If this can be changed...of course the system is awash in money, how is this to be fixed?

The amount of money is staggering but transparency of the money may be as big or bigger issue.I propose that no entity save a living, breathing registered voter can donate money to a campaign or candidate, and that no registered voter may spend more than $100 on campaigns or candidates in total in any election cycle.
GET THE MASSIVE TIDAL WAVE OF MONEY OUT OF POLITICS, PERIOD.
It's simple, and it's draconian by comparison to the million loophole 'system' we have now. It's also completely clear and transparent.
These are of course all reasons why the current politician leaders and their donors will hate it AND try their best to discredit, weaken and overturn it.
This is why it needs to be a constitutional amendment.
If our current political system won't allow its passage, We the People must demand a Constitutional Convention.
Clear enough?
Didn't he address that by saying "no registered voter may spend more than $100 on campaigns or candidates in total in any election cycle."?The amount of money is staggering but transparency of the money may be as big or bigger issue.
Soros/Koch give 100 Million
1Billion Chinese give a dollar donation through a website
Damn, half-assed reading on my part. OK, I likey now.Didn't he address that by saying "no registered voter may spend more than $100 on campaigns or candidates in total in any election cycle."?
That's how we got the system we have nowRevolution...
Revolution gave us the Articles of Confederation: A "Confederation of Sovereign States". The Constitutional Convention gave us the form of gov. that has morphed into whatever it is we have now. Just curious, where did U go to school?That's how we got the system we have now
