Sorry, I'm not an economist but I'm not seeing a connection. It seems like you just may not like the idea of capitalism and are trying to connect it to something else which you con…

What definition of "capitalism" are you using to refer to this as a "capitalist endeavor"? The "return on investment" (as you put it) aspect? Wouldn't, say, a communist make simila…

If a politician promises to take ALL of the rich people's money and give it to me, would I be voting "against my own interests" if I thought that was a stupid idea which would resu…

I suppose I should expect this from the NYT but they really managed to spin this one. They bemoan that "the rich" "save" money from the deduction. Isn't it relevant that in order t…

Wouldn't many such shareholders be Americans as well? Americans who could do something more productive with these payouts than the government might with taxes? (Non-American shareh…

That's true. I didn't look into how exactly Swedish rates are computed. A 25% effective rate sounded about right to me for a single-filer US salary in that range in most states whi…

Everyone throwing around "free" healthcare as a valid explanation for this wage gap needs to account for taxation levels too. using estimates via Google: "average programmer salary…

Because "make things the cheapest" implies: (a) more people having access to more, better products for cheaper (b) the people making those things ipso facto prefer to be doing thos…

Yes, it may be "easier" for the ACLU to abuse/"reinterpret" the Constitution rather than work to amend it or work within its strict framework... but doing so makes things worse for…

I agree that "a good argument" can be made about some of them but it appears to me that ACLU always goes "left" with such nuanced issues. If I knew of examples of them going "right…

Some "left-leaning" stances they take where I'm hard-pressed to see how they are defending civil rights, if not outright violating those of one party for the benefit of another: af…

I'm not sure about this but my guess is that a man who refuses to abide by an establishment's rule of "no men in the women's showers" would be asked to leave. If he does not leave,…

You're not taking into account that this "Issuer" claims some right to decide (by force, obviously) who can do business in the first place. So if some entrepreneurial lady begins, …

You earlier referred to Business as a potential "parasite". Sounds like you are clarifying that you hope such a parasite will starve and wither away. Which is fine. Others might ad…

"un-construct it... drag it out behind the shed and shoot it." Can you "un-construct" this newspeak for us? It sounds like you're advocating that you or some other force besides fr…

In case this is not obvious to you... to be entitled to employment (or anything) means someone must provide it. If nobody is voluntarily hiring a man, you would force someone to hi…
