How should you view the economy?
"Treat all economic questions from the viewpoint of the consumer, for the interests of the consumer are the interests of the human race."

Guys, I got tired of having to hide the screen from my kids when I was reading the Forum posts because of the widespread use of the F-word and other profanity. So--it's not personal if I muted you, or your thread.

The Pope's visit to Cuba
So the Pope reckons that "Marxism no longer corresponds to reality".

He claims to be the earthly representative of an all-powerful invisble sky wizard. What the fuck does he know about reality?

Alright, say some of your friends dated a chick who is, let's say, a whore. Now, you go after her just for that reason; not to date her, but just to get a little somethin somethin. Does that break the "bro code"?

Why we should keep Government WEAK!!!!
Those in the human race who are lazy, dishonest, unmotivated, drug addicts, drunks and unreliable want government to be strong so government can provide them a life they would never or could never provide for themselves by their own efforts. This thread is dedicated to them, and to keeping Govt. weak

This article tells the story of a auto parts supplier sent to prison by government prosecutors for fixing prices.
http://goo.gl/HtPxz
Don't jump for joy celebrating the good that powerful government does protecting society until watch this Youtube video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMJbx--kWdA
The youtube video describes the story of how established limousine and taxi companies in Nashville corrupted city government to regulate the taxi & limousine market to keep prices artificially high.
They should all face the same prosecution as the auto parts dealer.
A fine example of why government should be kept WEAK!!!!

The Youtube video tells the story of Bokhari who bought a black Lincoln sedan and began offering cut-rate rides — an average of $25 — to and from the airport, around downtown and in neighborhoods not well served by taxis. After one year he had 12 cars. Now he has 20, and 15 independent contractors with their own cars, and a Web site, and lots of customers. He also has some enemies, including the established taxi and sedan companies and a city government that is, as interventionist governments generally are, devoted to regulations that protect the strong by preserving the status quo.

With the quiet support of the taxi companies, which have not raised rates since Bokhari and some similar entrepreneurs went into business, the limo companies got regulators to require a $45 minimum charge for any ride. Not content with that gross injury, government added crippling insults: It limited the age of cars and number of miles on them — regardless of the cars’ condition — and forbade dispatches via cellphones, which is how start-up limo companies operate.

Strong Government is the enemy of the Free Market.

The free market

Companies that operate in a free market generally work as hard as they can to make that market not free.

By creating lock in, monopolies, patent protection, long term contracts, chasms in pricing and other barriers to entry, companies profit out of proportion to their risk or investment. That's their job.

Acting on their own behalf, self-interested companies will almost always work to make the playing field unlevel, to create loopholes and to generate barriers that keep the market unfree. It's what their owners profit from.

Their adversaries? Technological change, enforced transparency and regulation in favor of consumer protection and against monopolies. There's no question that an unfettered authoritarian corporate regime is more efficient and effective--in the short run. In the long run, though, the free market triumphs, as long as it isn't destroyed by those that get to play first.

The free market is a great idea, which is why we need to be careful when market incumbents lobby to make it un-free. We need to keep government weak so corrupt elected officials can destroy the benefits that the free market brings to the vast majority of people.

A question for the Webdip Theological Seminary
I am curious, what is your take on Mark 12:24-25 and Matthew 22:29-30 (nearly identical passages)? Jesus claims to be quoting scripture, but the scripture is not locatable in the Tanakh.

Allow me to make the first post, please.
