A free market is a market free from regulation, of any sort.
No, absolutely positively not. You don't even have the foggiest understanding of the meaning of the term. Unfortunately, you're far from alone, but damn are you as wrong as it's possible to be.
You're describing an *unregulated* market. An unregulated market will *never* be anything like a free market because regulations are absolutely necessary to allow a market to even approach anywhere close to free. Free markets don't exist, and in fact *can never exist*. They're useful hypothetical abstractions, like the frictionless planes and pendulums from high school physics, but in reality all you can do is approach the ideal. How you approach that ideal can be done in one and only on way: Proper regulation of the market.
This is so incredibly obvious that you should be very embarrassed that you couldn't come up with such an obvious example by yourself Here's a really simple example: Say my family has been in the business of making widgets for generations and we've done well for ourselves financially. Then you come along, develop a new method of making widgets that's far better and cheaper than what I'm doing.
Now, let's look at the 2 cases
Properly regulated market: Your business takes off, or I buy you out, or buy/lease/license your technology and things go on, widgets are cheaper and better and everybody wins...except perhaps me if I fail to react appropriately to the changing conditions but that's really my own damn fault.
Completely unregulated market:
I use some of my wealth to hire some goons to trash your business, murder you and your entire family and burn the whole thing to the ground.
Do you understand now how your way can't possibly *ever* lead to a positive outcome? If you think that laws that weren't put into place with the express purpose of regulating a market therefore do not actually regulate the market and can thus be left out of the discussion, then you clearly have no understanding at all.
which is a stance that allows the rich (and everyone else) to not be taxed as much
LOL. I mean, seriously, you're going to try and sell a ridiculous idea like *that* in spite of 30 years of Reaganomics devastating the middle class and leading to the greatest wealth transfer from the overwhelming majority of the populace to the top 1% in the history of the country? Trickle down doesn't give you lower taxes, it just puts it on a credit card at high interest while privatization of various industries (prison/military industrial complex) is a still socialized costs, only the profits have been privatized which are then used to bribe your government to put more people in prison to increase their profits. I mean from using the CIA to sell crack to fund terrorism to intentionally misleading the country into Iraq, there's really not much you could even use to support your position.
This isn't a stance that allows for people not to be taxed, it's obviously impossible for it to do so.
A Liberal is a person who believes that individual rights are paramount. The Catholic Church is an organization whose head has stated that it is official church policy to aid and abet child rapists. Therefore a Catholic, being a supporter of said organization is *by definition* a supporter of raping children. If they don't like supporting the rape of children, they're welcome to find another social club.
So, no, you didn't fix anything, you just continued to demonstrate your ignorance of basic facts.
I can tell you that many of those in the flyover states have a nice seething hatred for the rich and frankly wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.
If there were any truth to that at all, then they wouldn't keep voting to give the rich more of all of our money. These are the Republican areas of the country, they asked for exactly this because they couldn't be bothered to think and only thrive on their hatred of gays, atheists, Liberals while pissing in the face of every decent thing this country was ever supposed to stand for.
I have a legit copy I got in a combo pack. I tried running it under Wine/Cedega, and it blows up after 30 seconds. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that they detected his piracy on my computer(s). I assume this must be due to sunspots or such since it couldn't be a glitch in the detection code as those are impossible.
. When it came to actual elections, which can't be astroturfed (well, not with committing crimes with jail time), a different story appears.
Wow, comprehension in general is a real weak point for you.
When it came to the elections, the Dems were trounced for a variety of reasons. That Obama gave up immediately on single payer without even trying to take steps in the direction before immediately surrendering to the Repugs. This is reality, it happened right in front of you and you'll still cling to the deeply idiotic lies of your masters. You're a good little dog, but you're complete shit as a citizen.
How did the Republicans hold on for so long without any credible move towards single payer? How did they win now with no credible move towards single payer?
The same exact way they convinced people that "keep government off of my Medicare" isn't the insane babbling of a really stupid idiot. By convincing primarily ignorant fools to vote for the insurance company death panels and agianst hteir own best interests.
You might be "skeptical", but I wager "delusional" is a more accurate description of your beliefs here.
I've clearly demonstrated that fact that that's you, Sparky.
but I think your older self could pick up a bit of wisdom and humility from the experience.
Well, I'm 40 I've been a keen skeptic my entire life and the ideas I presented are entirely backed up by every relevant fact bar none, so I really don't think I'd gain anything by rereading what I wrote. It's correct, factual, and will easily stand the test of time. Hell, it was just as true 30 years ago when that Fascist crack dealing traitor Reagan sent the country into its current tailspin.
The health insurance thing being a good example. Supposedly there was a "reform" of health insurance that was what Republicans wanted, back in the 1990s. This vague story never actually explains why the recent bill and the long ago Republican proposal are supposed to be the same, it's just asserted without proof. Since, I've treated such claims with great suspicion.
WTF Dude, at least learn what the issue is before babbling unrelated nonsense.
The Republicans wanted to rob the American people and give it to the insurance companies. The American people overwhelmingly want single payer government health care and made damn sure Obama knew that. He caved in more or less immediately and now we have the current bill which helps the insurance companies far more than it helps anybody else.
So the republicans got *exactly* what they wanted...it's their bill...and yet still spout idiotic "opposition" that only the deeply stupid are unable to see through.
It's the same thing with the first bailout. The RepugnantCunts opposed it until they added in an extra hundred million of complete pork bullshit then they voted for it and now they claim it's Obama's bailout.
So, there is no cognitive dissonance. It's a fact that that is exactly how the Republican party operates and has done so for longer than most people here have been alive. Your failure to pay enough attention to know that just demonstrates that you're a subject rather than a citizen and will repeat the craziest lies the rabidly anti-American right wing (that is to say Fascist) hate media without ever letting your brain engage.
Even the collapse and then massive bailout of the banks failed to raise more than a mumble.
Hell, it's worse than that. People voted back in the party that directly and intentionally caused the freaking problem with their diseased policies of the last 30 years. The stupidity and insanity of that proves there is no fucking hope for America. It's largely populated by slaves who are desperate to be allowed nothing but to lick their masters' boots.
and I hate democratic over-taxation and nanny-state tendencies
And yet you've completely failed to notice that the Republicans are the big big spenders and have been for 30 years now?!?!
My problem with people sharing your views is that while I might agree with your views in an ideal situation, your complete swallowing and regurgitating of Republican propaganda will always prevent you from ever being an informed citizen or even appearing to be capable of having a rational view of the world. Reagan beat the record set by FDR for Government growth and that was beaten by Shrub.
Republicans are the big spenders *and* they spend that all on the rich to fuck the American middle class. You want to be rich someday and think the Republicans will help you?!? That's a deeply stupid idea. They help the rich stay rich and get richer off of your back.
Think now, Sparky. Why (TF) would they want to help you join the club. That would mean less for them hence it ain't going to happen. This is called using common sense.
I don't know a single person, religious or otherwise who doesn't generally accept any of this.
Then those people are not fundamentalists. Learn what words mean before using them and you won't come across as stupid and ignorant as you do. Fundamentalism is going to the fundamentals meaning biblical literalism. Given that we know that most of the bible is blatantly false and contradictory bullshit, fundamentalists are necessarily by definition fringe loonies. Believing the bible is true defines you as such because it's known not to be true. Quite clearly and obviously to the point where not recognizing it as obvious immediately defines one as really stupid.
So if the people you know don't think the earth is 600 years old and reject petty much all of modern human knowledge, then they aren't fundamentalists. They obviously aren't Christians either though. If you know the bible is bullshit as all non-fundamentalists necessarily do (otherwise there would be no way they could pick and choose a couple verses out of context and declare that they know god's will better than he does (as all nonfundamentalists necessarily have to)) then you're putting yourself above your own god who we know wasn't even invented until over 1000 years after the pyramids were built.
That is how dumb you have to be to be a Christian and there is no way around it. If you're not so deeply retarded as to completely reject reality, then you are absolutely rejecting your god's supposed word. This is stupidity of a deep and disgusting level and there is no possible way around that fact.
However, as further contra-evidence, I can think of many seriously horrible acts that were not done in the name of religion... the Holocaust,
Lying about basic obvious historical facts does nothing but paint you as a vile fucking liar.
The Holocaust was a purely Christian event carried out by the explicitly and intensely Christian Nazis following the script laid out by Martin Luther founder of Protestantism and with the eager and willing aid of the Catholic Church.
So pretending that the holocaust, the most purely Christian of all atrocities isn't Christian makes a lying delusional piece of shit and a deeply dishonest animal lacking even the most basic rudiments of human decency. In other words you are a typical Christian in every way. Please go kill yourself rather than going around spouting your gleefully ignorant support of the fucking Nazis. Seriously, that shit is sickening you subhuman fucking monster.
It is just a less nice way of saying "completely free market".
Nothing of the sort. It's a different way of saying "completely unregulated market." An unregulated market is absolutely necessarily far from a free market.
Not all necessarily believe this is a bad thing.
All who actually understand the concepts and understand history, on the other hand, know for a fact that it's absolutely a bad thing as backed up by every shred of evidence bar none.
Perhaps you should take some time and try to understand what these words actually mean instead of just ignorantly repeating blatantly false propaganda you're being fed by the right wing fringe media?
I mean, it's kind of your responsibility as a citizen to do do rather than being nothing but an ignorant tool. It's called personal responsibility. You should really look into it.
These companies paid money to build this infrastructure. It's theirs. You don't like it? Pony up and build your own damn billion-dollar network.
If this were true, you might have some sort of a point. The fact that this is complete bullshit destroys any possibility of what you said being anything but sycophantic boot licking bullshit.
We paid for their infrastructure out of our tax dollars. They were to deliver fiber to the door for everybody based on what they were already paid to do so. Instead, they chose to steal our money and pay it as bonuses to their execs etc.
The fact that you're so ignorant of the issue that you don't know that makes it amazing that you would even open your retarded mouth on the subject. I mean you have to know that you don't know shit about the topic...or you're lying through your teeth..there's really no other possibility.
Now, think about why you would spout idiotic nonsense proving yourself to be a fool. Do you have no self respect at all, or is there something else wrong with you?
enacted "Obamacare" in a nearly completely partisan vote with little to no real input from the right,
I'm not sure if you are completely insane, dumb as a post or just a deeply unethical liar, but this is exactly the opposite of the truth. Obamacare was passed with nothing of its original intention remaining due to completely surrendering to what the Republicans wanted.
Single payer government health care is what the intelligent people of the country wanted. It would have massively reduced costs while eliminating the insurance company death panels. That was tossed aside from the start in order to cater to the Republicans.
The rest of what you spewed is just as false.
Claiming that the Democrats did anything partisan makes you a ridiculously idiotic liar, sparky, seriously. Look back at the "your either with us or against us" Republican way of doing business. That's partisan. Trying to work with obstructionist thieves isn't partisan, it's just stupid since we know that Republicans are incapable of working for anything but their own personal profit. If you had a shred of integrity or a shred of awareness, you would know that and you wouldn't be spreading insanely stupid lies. I mean, wow, what you said is *really* stupid.
I don't like the Democrats at all, but they're nothing compared to Republicans when it comes to jacking up the size of the government and fucking the economy and our freedoms. Not one fact bears out your insane babbling of the lies you heard from right wing hate media, and if you cared at all about the truth that would be obvious to you.
This is incredibly stupid. The word "liberal" doesn't even mean the same thing in different cultures. In my country, "liberal" means right-wing.
Wow, that's dumb. "Liberal" is what you're right or left *of*. It's by definition a distinctly different political philosophy that either the right (kings, aristocracy, the government exists to keep the people under the thumb of the elite) or the left (the government exists to lift the people up and promote and enforce equality). This recent attempt at redefining Liberalism out of existence and redefining the right as Liberal is batshit insane, had no basis in reality and serves only to promote the right wing which has never had any redeeming qualities.
I suppose the human population will quickly fall apart as such conservative views as "don't spend more than you have"
LOL, the inability of Conservatives to even deal with reality on any sane level is astounding. Spending more than we have is *Reagan's* policy that has completely fucked our economy. Reagan is the saint of conservatives. Therefore, spending more than you have is a conservative value by definition, nitwit. Oh, right dealing with that fact would involve integrity which as we all know is like kryptonite to you vile thieving murdering subhuman pieces of shit. I mean after 30+ years of conservative polices destroying the country that there are still monkeys as dumb as you trying to convince everybody that more of what fucked us will magically stop fucking us if we keep doing it is truly amazing.
Why not put out the fire and then bill him for the $75?
Because this is exactly the type of whining welfare leech who keeps voting Republican because he thinks he hates government even though he wants nothing but to suck off of its tit while leaving everybody else to pay for it.
People like you are why people like him still exist. Allow him to reap the penalties of his idiocy and you'll maybe just see him wise up. Keep rewarding stupid choices as you suggest and we'll keep seeing idiots voting against everybody's best interests for the benefit of their corporate masters and fucking the country.
In short, you demonstrate the point that evil will always triumph over good because good is dumb.
Plus massive increase in the war on some drugs, which increased violence and therefore required increased spending on police.
The savings and loan scandal which the Bushies were neck deep in cost the country around a trillion if you add it up in the way that gets you the biggest number.
Oh and a massive propaganda campaign misusing footage of babies affected by fetal alcohol syndrome presented as crack babies to demonize black women while Reagan and co were actually selling crack to treasonously buy weapons for terrorists.
Yeah, there was nothing good about the Reagan administration at all... Well, Reagan was an actor so made a much better liar then Shrub, but apart from that they were pretty much identical in policy and approach.
