Post by Peter FranksWe don't live in a capitalist economy. What we live in is a
socialist/communist economy that attempts to masquerade as capitalism.
Nice try, FrankenLoon
But tossing out the "commie/socialist" canard just
draws laughter at you
Laugh all you want. The facts are on my side, those laughing are on
your side -- the side without the facts.

No one said it isn't. What about that 5% -- who or what authorized the
socialism/communism of that? I sure can't find it anywhere in our
Constitution.
But thanks for bringing that up. Even at 5% socialism/communism, we can
see it wrecking our economy, our lifestyle, our everything. Excise the
cancer now before it grows beyond your 5%.
Post by G***@Whipped.comFree enterprise (within rational regulations) is alive
and well. You simply cannot do things just because you
want to----to the detriment of others or society
No one is advocating that except you.
Free enterprise is alive, but not well.
Post by G***@Whipped.comPost by Peter FranksAny time there is a problem, 'capitalism' is to blame, even though it
had nothing to do with it. The solution? More socialism/communism.
Surely, you haven't gone off the deep end and actually
believe that ***, FrankeLoon?
I've provided substantive references to support that claim. You have
countered with -- wait -- nothing...
Post by G***@Whipped.comThe problem with capitalism is PEOPLE who engage in
it---and the NEED for regulations to control excesses
of money and power in the society that allows it.
Nothing wrong with engaging in free enterprise---but
those with the ability and drive to do so---have a
marked tendency to excess and use of their power and
money to take advantage of others. That includes
shoddy, or dangerous products, creating health hazards,
ruining enviornment or air, water etc
Appropriate regulation is fine for the purposes of protecting and
securing the rights of others.
Regulation is not appropriate for the redistribution of wealth. The
current economic condition is due to that very type of regulation.
Post by G***@Whipped.comThe reason we have rules, regulations and policy that
restricts capitalistic endeavors is to allow those who
work within the rules and protect the rest of us.
No, the reason is to protect the rights of others.

But that's a CONSERVATIVE goal, you dumb twit.
Label it whatever you want, I really don't care. The advice is sound.
Post by G***@Whipped.comPost by Peter FranksTHE BEST INDIVIDUAL ADVICE that can be given is *get out of debt, NOW!*
Then stop supporting conservatives, republicans
Who said I was. Are you capable of a discussion without injecting your
made up garbage? If so, then do it.
Post by G***@Whipped.comRepublicans/conservatives are the party of choice of
capitalists.
Fantastic. I really don't care if that statement is true or false. I
advocate responsibility in action and deed in the preservation of
freedom. If you want to get hung up on your badges of honor and party
politics, find someone else that enjoys time wasting exercises in futility.
