    The free market doesn't care or not care about anything because it's a philosophy you twit. A true free market (which we have never had) is the optimum way for people to live and prosper in freedom. If you didn't have an international Zionist cabal in complete control of our money supply using a fiat debt based credit scheme, the quality of life for everyone would be a lot better for 95% of the population because they wouldn't be slaves to a devaluing currency and inflation which has the whole world making interest payments on everything they own.

    Being poor in itself is not a problem for anyone in a free market system. In a real free market, you can always get by. Being poor with no hope of ever improving, or being poor and totally reliant on others is the real problem. Being poor in a socialist economy where you must rely on a large corporation or a government to live is a nightmare (and more and more of a reality in today's broken America).

    there has never been a freer marker than victorian england. of course we all know the miserable poverty the masses suffered during that period. if you aren't familiar, give dickenson a read.

    in a "free market" everyone would be reliant upon "large corporations" (monopolies would dominate). and with zero redistribution it makes it basically impossible for all but the greatest/most cunning/sociopath to improve their lot. you know... can't bootstrap it when you don't have any penetrating boots. redistribution is prerequisite to mass economic mobility (like when government taxed rich people and gave any citizen of california who could qualify academically a tuition-free college education).

    not looking for you to respond - as i don't care to engage with some alex jones "zionist cabal" wackjob - just looking to counter your shitty arguments.

    Yet they were hamstrung by their belief in the key tenet ofpolitical economy – that the free market generated natural, fair andefficient outcomes. In fact, no market is natural or free, and the market inVictorian England incorporated legal biases that operated in favour ofdifferent interest groups, particularly those owning capital.

    i'm flat penetrating shocked that anyone with half a brain would want to revert back to discredited 19th century economic theories.

    Would love it if Bernie finally fights back after what the DNC did. He's let BLM run all over him. He gave Clinton a free pass during the first debate when it came to the internet scandal. It's time for him to summon his inner-Trump. Would be pure entertainment for the 7 viewers watching tonight.

    I can't do it. I just can't do it. Found myself falling asleep just trying to watch the ABC guys talking about it. Might glimpse at it during the commercials of the Rockets-Clippers game.

    People care about profit above all. Don't kid yourself into thinking that just because the profit isn't in the form of a higher stock price no one is profiting.

    wonder how butthurt ole dwight is that bernie crushes trump?
    Stop the presses! According to a new poll by Quinnipiac University on Tuesday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) destroys Republican candidate Donald Trump in a general election by 13 percentage points. In this new poll, Sanders has 51 percent to Trump's 38 percent. If this margin held in a general election, Democrats would almost certainly regain control of the United States Senate and very possibly the House of Representatives

    Sanders isn't going to get the nomination (unless the email thing mysteriously turns on Hillary), so its really a moot point. Would love to see a Sanders 3rd party campaign similar to Nader in 2000 though.

    bernie will beat that pandering oyster. all non-brain dead progressives (which is the overwhelming majority) realize this sellout doesn't represent our values. on what planet is someone who supports/supported so-called free-trade, mass-incarceration, financial deregulation, the iraq war, welfare reform, had the republicans position on gays till 13', etc. etc., a lock to win the democratic nomination? this is why she lost to obama the first time. she couldn't show her progressive bona fides. and she's struggling to do so again (like when she responded to her wall st ties by saying, "vagina, 9/11").

    now some may be dumb/misinformed enough to believe that hillary is the more viable general election candidate, but that's laughably false. a candidate who turns off large portions of their own base is hardly the better candidate in a general. polls say up to 20% of bernie supporters would never vote for hillary. no hillary supporters say they wouldn't back bernie. this is why hillary is the republicans best chance at winning.

    bernie is going the distance in this election. he's going to win iowa, then new hampshire, and that momentum will carry him to the nomination. then it's just a matter of what republican dumbass he's up against and how much he beats them by (with polls showing trump and cruz lose huge and rubio is the best positioned against bernie).

    one part was kind of strange: putting farmers, urban residents, "people of all walks of life" on the board.

    but everything else he said sounds perfectly reasonable.

    i don't need a piece. i'll just take yours and pistol whip your teeth out.

    i'd like to see how that would play out IRL. i'm certain that if i'm within 10 yards, it's impossible for a redneck simpleton to reach into his waistband, pull out a gun, level it, and pull the trigger. that gun would be my gun.
