@Crackshot1983 Think about this a while, and you will

see why If capitalism is allowed to exist, then I want a

government that might be big enough to have a chance

to oppose it to an infinite extent!!

[rstevewarmorycom]

@Crackshot1983 The courts have not found landlords in violation for

doing precisely that, can you tell me that wealth is not in

and of itself corrupting of freedom? Or can you convince

me that such a thing is not allowed to occur under capitalism?

I don't think so. And any corruption by NeoCons in the manner

you described would be a million times smaller than the corruption

of freedom I cited just from the normal utilization of wealth in a

capitalism.

@Crackshot1983 Are you saying that we would then

have a fair society, even if he didn't use his wealth to directly

corrupt government? Are you saying that having infinite

freedom of speech his wealth would afford him, while he

would be free to evict anyone from their rental homes if

they spoke out against him would not be corruption on its

own?

@Crackshot1983 What you say in that regard may well be

true, but I see it as as mere side-effect. That being true is

in no way central to my thesis critique of capitalism. Think

of it this way: I haven't ever heard of any mechanism in

capitalism that would prevent one man from sooner or later

coming to own absolutely everything, the sum total of all

wealth in the society.

@rstevewarmorycom The corruption in government is caused by the government being too big and not strictly adhering to the constitution. Bailouts are NOT capitalism, free market capitalism means that there is a seperation of the state and the economy and bailouts ARE not seperation of state and the economy. Libertarianism also supports a seperation of the state and the economy. It is the Neo Cons who are to blame

[rstevewarmorycom]

@Crackshot1983 But that's caused by the rich hijacking the electoral

and legislative process. If they weren't permitted

to do that, government would be democratic, and

that means it would be all about taxing back what the

rich stole away from them and returning it to their

victims.

@Crackshot1983 So you're saying that capitalists

steal because the government is nasty? That's silly,

the corruption in government is all caused by the

capitalist special interests looking for favors, from

laws that let only the rich steal to bailouts, it's all

the same continuum. Welfare for the poor and

disadvantaged is extremely tiny compared to the

corporate welfare and favors to the rich, that's

how the congress gets re-elected, you know!

[Crackshot1983]

@rstevewarmorycom The way capitalists steal is caused by the very thing Libertarians oppose Government Intervention. Government Intervention is exactly what the TARP Bailouts and governments serving special interest groups is.

[rstevewarmorycom]

@Crackshot1983 Nonsense, the way capitalists steal

is with the very rights that Libertarianism wants them

to have, rights that permit the rich to steal, but not the

poor. Taxation isn't stealing, it's the recovery of lost

or stolen property for the body politic from those who

steal by wealth.

[Crackshot1983]

@rstevewarmorycom Libertarianism has nothing to do with stealing, far from it libertarianism supports property rights and also opposes government sanctioned stealing otherwise known as taxation
