No, she needs jailed for encouraging the public to steal from others.In the United States, if you encourage others to commit a crime, then you're guilty of a crime.And WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD is a Canadian trying to dictate U.S. Policy? There's a ticket to persona non grata

She should be jailed for disagreeing with you. You´re quite the democrat yourself.

The only point I'd disagree here, is that it's pretty easy to determine who is doing what. But then again, I'm an investor, and I do that full time. It's why XOM is not in my portfolio, and neither is Walmart.But other than that? I agree completely. A government is supposed to protect it's citizens. That's all. That's all Adam Smith preached in the "Wealth of Nations". He hated when Govt tried to play "merchant".

The problem is with some corporations ( we done know how many) is that these corporations are devouring the more honest corporations through mergers because they have the finances and the power. So if this system is going to work ( and unlike klien i believe it can) we need regulations and requirements. I still think her aim is admirable and she makes many good points.

Instead, the looters become the government with SOME corporations
AirelonTrading (December 31, 1969 at 5:59 pm)
Of course they should. Adam Smith DESPISED governments in bed with corporations.It's the "Wealth of Nations" "East India Trading Company" all over again. But the evil that Smith saw as the East India Trading Company, did not carry over into other corporations. He adored and created capitalism as we know it. The portion Smith saw as far as the Govt is not to 'get out' as Friedman preached, but he wanted them to protect the citizens from the looters.

Pardon me but isnt that the same thing that these corporations ask of us. Money is stolen from everyday working Americans and given to industries. It is pretty much a reverse robin hood and honestly I find it more noble to steal from the rich and give to the poor than the alternative.If Klien should be jailed for her suggestions then so should "Fanny" and "Freddie".

Klein needs to be jailed. She is publicly espousing and supporting the concept of stealing other peoples assets. People own shares of Exxon. She espouses NATIONALIZATION of all things. That's pure communism, and is the same old rhetoric that Marx and Lenin fooled people with. Appealing to public sentiment.She should be dealt with accordingly (Jailed)

Situational equality is just a fact of life. If we were all equal, then we would all be robots. People make choices that dictate the quality of their lives. I know people fall on hard times and that people should help their fellow human beings. However, it should be done through private charity and not the federal government. I donate a lot of money to charity, I'm not some heartless a-hole. I believe what I believe because of practical reasons. Think outside the box, think outside the state.

It's not like I'm afraid of the state, I simply HATE the state. I know it is a necessary evil and it should only be there as a referee and not a player. I'm not for anarchy, I understand we need government to make sure people are playing by the rules and there is no unfair advantages to particular individuals. It is there to ensure procedural equality. (every one can vote, courts, etc.) My problem is when the government tries to solve situational equality and it ends up screwing everybody over. |
