But who is to say what the better behavior is? The government?
In the Soviet Union the government throught it knew best about where you should live, what job you should have. Many fascist and communist government have tried to dictate who you should marry (or in Plato's Republic, wives and children in "common").
Whether fascist, communist, or socialist big government always ends in 2 ways: (1) economic, civil, and financial ruin for the government and the people or (2) decentralizing the role of government (see China).
Conservatives are more likely to have spent time in college. So "education" (even with all the government propaganda in schools) doesn't move people away from faith.
Strange advice... the construction industry has negative profit margins (I know construction workers that have been out of work for months). A hiring manager told me last year that if you can't get a C# job in my city you are a real "troglodyte" (in his example the C# guy didn't know what Linq was). Of course, that's in the US. Europe's business environment is far worse right now.

Government should keep everything the government earns.
In other words, very little.
Regulation is a good way solving imaginary problems with a lot of money.
You're claiming all the democrats (including Hillary, Kerry) voted for that war for totally legitimate reasons, but Bush had bad reasons?
Sounds like another, another double standard.
You think prostitutes are happier and have a better path in life than women who are not prostitutes?
You are either deceived or trying to deceive others.
I hate it when people use the phrase "in reality" to disguise their opinions.
(Value of anarchy) > (Value of government that controls how much TV my kids watch)
The phrase "Analysts In The Know" is troll par excellence.
Even if someone conceded the rich don't have a right to pass on their riches, how does it entail the government deserves it?
When I think about evil, rich, greedy people I think about the PhD's on the government dole.
Or they could imitate your apathy.

Like voting present in a presidential debate
The reason companies advertise their proprietary aspects is because consumers want to pay money for that.
As Sartre said, we are condemned to be free.
Food doesn't make people fat. People make their own selves fat.

Even if you're rich a break is a health hazard. You have to bring in a hazmat team to clean up the mercury.
I still think it's worth it to go the LED way, but why is the government making that decision for me?

The folks aren't going to believe anything the scientists say after the East Anglia debacle.
I know I don't.
This is a red herring. They blacked out all the personal stuff from Palin's emails. Btw, would you defend keeping her emails private?
The East Anglia incident confirmed peer-reviewed studies are squewed by political views.
Great post!

If the workers have a better chance somewhere else let them go there.
If it is better for them there, let them stay.
Otherwise this is yet another example of the tyranny of central planning.
We pay for a police force but then computers/gene analysis machines do all the work.
So why are paying a police force?
Or is that just the fallacy of thinking the government should *earn* what it takes?
Nope. Possession is 9/10s of the law.
Sartre would disagree.

And ultimately he wins on this one
This is a slippery slope to everything being public property.
Strange how you accuse capitalism of devaluing human life and then propose killing half the population.
Seriously: modern liberalism is embarrasingly similar to Soviet communism.
