Jerofjung... gave this answer about Congress:


Has to be better than what we are dealing with. Rich getting richer, Poor getting poorer, Borders not secure, Ports being sold to foreign interests, constant sabre rattling, and a Congress that has done nothing in the last 6 years of any signifigance.

Isn't the USA supposed to be a free market capitalist economy? Aren't people in charge of what they do with their lives?

OR

Is it just easier to blame the failures of yourself and your family on the government rather than take responsibility for your own actions?

the premises & conclusion?

1. everyone will readily agree that everyone will readily agree that, if a govt committed the enormous injustice of taking 90% of income and wealth permanently off a randomly chosen 90% of ppl, and giving it to a randomly chosen 1%, violence would increase 100x and happiness [peace, safety, law, order, etc] decrease 100x

2. therefore everyone will readily agree that everyone will readily agree that, if a govt was doing that, and stopped doing that, reversed that policy, violence would decrease something like 100x and happiness increase 100x

3. we have worse injustice than this [1% get 90% of world income, 90% get 10th-1000th of world average hourly pay, etc]

so

4. we can be 100x happier, have 100th violence, by the limitation of fortunes to the just maximum earnable by a person by their work, and giving the overfortunes back among the earners/true owners [which will give every family in the world another US$70,000 income per year]

Was doing some calculations, and I realized I don't have much freedom. In order to move where i want to live it would cost more money, do what i want to do it would cost more money, say what i want to say it would cost more money, solve health problems i have it would cost more money.

America just doesn't seem a very free place for somewhere that is waging a big war for freedom. Seems we should change thet national anthem so it says, 'Land of the expensive and home of the upwardly mobile'. I suppose that the anthem would have to leave out mention of the millions who have no freedom at all, but who are necessary to make capitalism work.

I mean there are thousands of people in places like Africa who are dying of starvation and AIDS and going through Hell and no one gives a ****. Maybe if rich countries like the USA and other rich countries would show some ******* compassion toward these poor countries and not stay in places like Iraq and steal the arabs oil then maybe everyone would live longer and we wouldn't hear about all these little children dying and digging through trash piles in order to eat something.

In 1997 there were 1,500 taxi medallions in the city of Boston, and each medallion generated a profit of about $14,000 per year. In 1998, the city announced that it would issue 300 new taxi medallions, auctioning the new medallions to the highest bidders. Even with the new medallions, the number of taxis in the city would still be less that the number that would occur in an unregulated market. Your job is to predict the annual profit from a medallion after the new medallions were issued. To predict the new annual profit, assume the following….

•The cost of providing taxi service is constant at $2.00 per mile for service
•The initial price of taxi service (with 1,500 medallions issued) is $2.14 per mile.
•Each taxi (or medallion) provides 100,000 miles of service per year, so issuing the 300 new medallions increases the total quantity of taxi service from 150 million miles to 180 million miles.
•For consumers, each $0.01 decreases in the price of taxi service increases the quantity demanded by 10 million miles.

A.Compute the new price of taxi service.
B.Compute the new profit per medallion

Globally, windows dollar sales are almost equal to doors $ sales. However, in Latin America and Indonesia, the sales of doors measured in dollars are more than 50% higher than the sales of windows.

Does somebody have a theory for this pattern?

Norway has the highest standard of living in the world exactly because of the way they manage their oil. If we have gone into Iraq to better the living quality of the Iraqi people then should we not adopt the model used by the country with the highest standard of living in the world, and which attained such a standard because of their management of oil?

It used to be that by making a minority incedibly wealthy, the wealth and opportunities will filter down to the majority...This was the only defence..or aguement for having a capitalist economy.

But now when we have so many people coming here and are - being allowed to take all the wealth and opportunity of the poor, and also capitalism is off to china - so what is the new argument for defending western capitalism?
