Corporatocracy at its finest. Some interesting info from the FED audit.

anti-trust laws are in place to prevent such a thing. gov't just needs to enforce them more/better instead of letting private america buy elected officials for their own financial gain.
and i've seen both the private and public sector at work, private = much more efficient or it dies. provides a shitton of motivation.
public sector makes sure they spend their max budget every year so it isn't lowered the next year... its all totally backwards, no rewards at all for being better, cheaper, more efficient.

No what we need is a Flat Tax or a National Sales Tax and make it that congress needs 75% vote in both houses in order to pass any changes. This would go a long way in getting rid of Corporatocracy.
Increasing the financial burden on the poor is an excellent idea. Also, we should have floggings for anyone making less than $30,000/year.
Yes, because the economy is always static.
You're right. The floggings should be indexed to inflation.
and with that level of bureaucratic retardedness that pervades our government agencies, I am fully and completely confident in their ability to lower the cost of health insurance while increasing availability and maintaining quality
At least a fucking sales tax would make the illegals pay SOMETHING. I can't believe that you wouldn't agree with a flat income or sales tax. Really?
I don't really understand that reply. My best guess is that you're saying that was a failure of private industry? If so, first I totally disagree with that. The entire mortgage bubble was created by the FED mandating artificially low interest rates. It happens every time we do that (see: tech boom for another recent example). And second, even if private industry were to do that on its own, it would FAIL. There is normally a price for failure, but not when the government steps in saying "youre too big to fail." So what do YOU think the banks have learned from this? Think they will be more fiscally responsible in the future? Think we can legislate their every action, so this can't happen again? Good luck!
btw, if that isn't what you meant, then I typed way too much. Fucker.
And btw, that has nothing to do with: GOVERNMENT MAKES THINGS BETTER, FASTER, STRONGER, AND CHEAPER.
The bailouts are besides the point. The point being that both government and private corporations can and will fuck us over. Both work under a capitalist ideology which is a breeding ground for corruption and greed.
Both can be great, and both can be horrible.
