"You don't have to say that" - What a douche!

@DarthKazi Nothing could be further from the truth. He supported the negative income tax because it's less economically harmful then other programs, because people would be spending their own money. Also, He fought special interest and privileges for corporations for years. Watch his interviews about special interests. Watch free to choose. He helped get rid of the draft. He helped get rid of all sorts of special privileges for industry insiders.

Anarchism wount work because it would create a society much like nature where only the strongest survive and where you constantly have to fear for you life and struggle for survival and if you want that you might aswell go live in the forest.

@tuntitommosille sounds like common sense to me.

Government depends on corp america to elect the leaders, get the taxes to pay for it, and then they stab it in the back by telling ppl it is corrupt and must be regulated (to death so socialism can slip in via bailouts) Only the biggest cronies can survive--see how GE and Boeing is being helped w/the India trip.

@Justbeatit999 Free market economy with a minimal amount of government is the closest you will get to a just world. Any other type of "just" involves stealing from one person and giving it to someone else, as well as deterioration of society because there is no incentive for anyone to do anything.

@321lawc

There is something really wrong with you, do you know that?

[321lawc]

@Justbeatit999 Yes. It's called survival. Now run along and go masturbate to anarchist culture.

@321lawc

You wan't to kill people just because you simply don't agree with them?

[321lawc]

@Justbeatit999 Well fuck that, I don't want a just world. I want exterminate Islam, barbarians; and create a global technocracy.
