    When you frame it as a free market of course it appeals to people like cnaps and deathboy. When you frame it as a monarchy somehow I doubt most people would be in favor of it.

    So the question is which do we really live under. A system where there is free competition in most industries, or a system where one or two huge corporations dominate most industries, and also the government agencies that regulate them. Do most people who get rich come out of nowhere or are they just rich because their parents were rich?

    • in the case of busienss vs gov. gov is parent, they hold sole authority on rules. corp is kids. i blame the authority people

    • my general view which cant be held as false or true. only as one judges individuals reponses. for every left their is an equal right likely
      ********
    • a equal right misjustice likely. and thats on an individual level. can only talli individual acts that you know
      ********
    • I don't know what you mean, individual actions. Parties generally vote as a block on many issues.ukit
    • Your view of politicians as individual principled people is very quaint.ukit
    • its collective vs individual. how to weigh and measure how to relatively look at things
      ********
    • a republican votes for a democrat. that would contradict the generalization.
      ********
    • so you take that at different relativies. on this level its this on and individual level you can get closer to truth
      ********
    • evil vs good without relating the different shades of grays to + or - on a scale. and the fact scales can be different..
      ********
