I assume that you read the part about “crony capitalism” being a primary cause of the crisis... so, why you would call me a useful idiot for corporations is beyond me.
My post is in support of a truly free market.
Based on your attack, I’ll have to assume you are anti-free market.
Do you not see yourself as a useful idiot for anti-free market forces? No, I’m sure you see yourself as being much smarter than the average bear.
So, what do you support, who_would_fardels_bear?
Capitalism? Marxism? Socialism? Fascism? Communism?
Or do you have a new age “ism” that makes you feel all smart and special?
Do tell... I can’t bear the suspense.
You claim to be against crony capitalism, but what regulations would you put in place to prevent it?
Certainly we can't trust Democrats or Republicans to protect us from crony capitalists. Both parties are equally subservient to their corporate masters.
If you are against regulation, which you seem to be, and you believe that all regulation ultimately works to the benefit of crony capitalists, then you have no workable plan to rid cronies from the system.
Gelinas does have some good ideas IMHO of what types of regulations we need to maintain the free market as a free market, and protect it from the cronies that have driven it over the cliff.
