If someone spends themselves into the ground, that's one less person paying in. Multiply that by the millions who do it and it goddamn well does start affecting you.... Once the patient is bled out, there's no saving them. The key is to do something before it gets to that point. Originally Posted by WombRaider

The process works even faster and more efficiently on the corporate side. If you weren't so utterly clueless about economics, you would understand how "the perennial gale of creative destruction" is capitalism's biggest strength, not its weakness.

Look, dumbass, what you did was tell half the story. You're required to have health insurance in this country. That's government telling you how to spend your money and it's not included in your number. Originally Posted by WombRaider

It's a horrible law that has not done anything close to what it was supposed to do. You and your ilk want more and more government. The bigger the better. The conservatives want smaller government and less intrusion into our lives. That doesn't mean zero government.

As for me being angry. Yeah it does piss me off to see people like you trying to destroy this country. You keep throwing out Denmark as this utopian form of government and a perfectly run country where everyone is happy. It's the size of El Paso and doesn't do shit in the worldwide scheme of things. Again, if it is so fucking great then move.
Wall Street is a giant scam, but that's for another time. I'm actually reading a book called 'Hedge Hogs' right now. Quite interesting. My point about us not needing all this shit. It's all bullshit. The need is created. It's not real. Originally Posted by WombRaider

That's like saying banks and insurance companies are scams. Like many Wall Street firms, some of them are involved in unethical practices, to be sure. The answer is reining in the destructive activity, like Brooksley Born tried to do with derivatives while at the CFTC.

Industries as a matter of course need to raise equity capital, and wouldn't be able to do so without Wall Street. And industries that are heavy consumers of various commodities and raw materials benefit from hedging risks with futures contracts and other instruments. The same goes for producers of said commodities, who can smooth out the adverse effects of cyclical pricing collapses and spikes.

Capitalism needs well functioning markets in order for a healthy, growing economy to prosper.

Oops! I typed a dirty word there, didn't I? OK, never mind ...
You're beyond your depth. You're also very lost. That's not what I'm saying at all. You're beyond saving. Originally Posted by WombRaider

I shouldn't have to move to live in the best country in the world. I thought I was already living there... at least that's what we're force fed every day of our lives.

When there is a natural disaster anywhere in the world who sends help? Denmark? Yea right. You may not like it but we are the worlds police. From WWII on we have been the country most likely to come to the aid of others. Have we made some mistakes? Of course but we have done a shitload more good that harm and you want to model us after Denmark.

You're a fucking coward and an admitted hypocrite. What was your number for the max a CEO should be paid? Wasn't in the $200,000 dollar per year range? Now you want to preach about a living wage yet you refuse to tell us what that is. Fuck dude, try for one damn second to use a little bit of common sense.

He won't come out until his mommy and his gubmint tell him the neighborhood is 100% guaranteed safe and he will never get hurt in life and never fall down or scrape a knee (and if he does, he will blame everything on the neighborhood bullies while crying for gubmint protection for him and all those other LGBT sissy boys who will grow up to be tort lawyers and libtarded bureaucrats churning out endless stifling indecipherable rules to kill off all private initiative).

Do you ever listen to yourself, widdle woomby? Cock an ear sometime (while eyeing your next cock) and this is what you will hear:


WOOMBY IS A FUCKING PUSSY!!!

But little of any beneficial nature gets done. Dodd-Frank is a jumbled mess that arguably does far more harm than good. Although Republicans are constantly lambasted for deregulation efforts over the years, Democrats are just as complicit. The failures are bipartisan.

Sure, many Democrats talk a good game, but at the end of the day don't even try to do much more than put on a show designed to appeal to voters and certain constituencies. Why is that? Well, just recall the hackneyed old expression "follow the money."

Financial crisis: 25 people at the heart of the meltdown

Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator, former US president

[Sizteen] years ago Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, which had ... ringfenced banks' risky "casino banking" divisions from the more pedestrian high street banking departments. Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator's move, which came after fierce lobbying from bankers, heralded the birth of superbanks and primed the sub-prime pump.

He also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation. Around the same time Slick Willie the Perjuring Sexual Predator also beefed up President Carter's 1977 Community Reinvestment Act – forcing lenders to take a more sympathetic approach to poor borrowers trying to get on the housing ladder.
