I personally don’t read much into an election that will essentially be repeated in 3 months. But a lot of folk seem worried/confident—depending on which side they root for—that the low GOP turnout spells doom for Republicans in November. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-52116584256031703452018-08-07T09:30:07.889-04:002018-08-07T09:30:07.889-04:00From my perspective, monopolies are the result of ...From my perspective, monopolies are the result of the market "not" being able to operate openly and freely. Corporations have for years used legislation to make themselves the only provider etc of goods and services. The best example is the railroads..they would not have been a monopoly if Congress had stayed out of it. Right now the tech giants are very protected by congress and state legislatures.

Honestly, the best argument I've seen (though woefully naive) is that it won't cost $32 trillion, it will save $2 trillion. Unfortunately, that's a rounding error when you're working with numbers that big. In real terms, we're talking about replacing the current system with one that costs an equal amount in order to "save money." And if you think that's possible, I have some smart pills to sell you. tryanmaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09881154741574720094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-43017656834544289992018-08-06T19:49:31.510-04:002018-08-06T19:49:31.510-04:00although I won"t say that all liberals are di...although I won"t say that all liberals are dim bulbs, it certainly reflects the lack of common sense that seems so prevalent among celebrities and others who seem to have a forum to spout off. I think in today's world, people, including actors get paid on their perceived ability to get people to pay to see them. It does seem to be common among the black lives matter activists. e.g. you have privilege and must give up something. I always thought of it as losing sight of the fact equal opportunity under the law is different than guarantees of equal outcomes.<br /><br />if we look at capitalism vs. socialism, we can agree that unfettered capitalism ends up like a monopoly game while socialism robs people of liberty and incentive. It is why I I do recognize anti-trust as a valid function.<br /><br />I am kind of wandering here .... sorry, but yeah this "you owe me free shit" is ridiculous. We have thrown tons of money trying to level the playing field in education but it doesn"t work.

Changing who pays is not saving money. It may save business money, but it will cost all the rest of us the same amount they save. That is not a positive!<br /><br />2. The left HATES business. The populist right hates big business. Average Americans don't care about big business. So why in the world should anyone care about saving business money -- especially when you end up crippling the middle class and "working poor" to pay for it?<br /><br />3. I'd rather have a business need to provide decent health care as a benefit to lure employees than have an indifferent government agency provide whatever budget they have.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-67556444224659436372018-08-06T16:37:40.179-04:002018-08-06T16:37:40.179-04:00Critch, The sad thing is that she's typical of...Critch, The sad thing is that she's typical of liberals. It doesn't matter if something is true or not, it only matters if they want to believe it's true. And then they expect someone else to solve the problem because they don't actually want to work or even be inconvenienced. And finally, the solutions they want have nothing to do with fixing the problem they want fixed.AndrewPricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11312364467936820986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6251675227852122352.post-49761151383935680532018-08-06T14:43:00.674-04:002018-08-06T14:43:00.674-04:00I've had to read her comments three times to m...I've had to read her comments three times to make sure I was reading it right...what a dim bulb, even for an actor.
