That's what I've been doing the past 2 days since you replied to me :\

Most businessmen are decent people,who want to put out a good product or service @ a fair profit.You have taken the excesses of the worst government crony capitolist multi-national corporations & imputed their abuses to the vast majority of fine people as though it's endemic to free enterprise in general.It is not.

You're free to go back and read my post if it wasn't marked as spam by people who wish to censor those whom they don't agree with.

Insufficient competition is the problem. When all you're concerned about is self interest, you find ways to eliminate competition, which is what massive corporations struggle to do on a daily basis.

What a coincidence that eight years after Clinton was out of office "it all came crashing down". Bullshit. The real root of the problem was the degradation of the regulatory safety net put in place by FDR the first time the unregulated banks destroyed the world economy. Bush removed more of this "red-tape", as you would probably call it, than any other pres, therefore i blame him. The equivalent safety nets in Germany and France almost completely protected their economies from the crash.

I don't think so,@ least from where I tuned in,but that is even dumber. Free market supply & demand is enlightened self interest & has raised the standard of living more than any other system in history.It only falters when there is insufficient competition,& that is where our concerns should be focused.

No my original claim verbatim was "Supply and demand amounts to greed, I can get more money for this therefore I'll make more money off of this."

[thrummer1953]

No,since your original claim was that supply & demand doesn't work,which of course,it does.

Yes, the military industrial complex is the largest business in america...

So basically you're supporting my original premise. If I make a product that cost me $5, and sell it for $500, I'm taking advantage of consumers. Since Linux doesn't get support because it's not a commercial operating system, Microsoft is perfectly justified in charging that much for their operating system because no other operating system is as user friendly. Supply and demand amounting to greed.
