Are governments complicit as to the inequality amongst peeps

[Blaggard]

It just goes to show you are a massive hypocrite bob doesn't it really.

The way you think is like looking at a mushroom in a field being constantly fertilised by shit. You claim that the rich are entitled, that they should not have to pay tax. And yet when you actually boil your mythology down it's just the contradictory bullshit of a person who is lost in a sea of hypocrisy.

You laud things you don't understand, you preach politics you don't remotely understand. And use sophistry to drive home a point you don't even remotely understand.

Bob you are just embarrassing yourself with this mindless babble, we all know it, you need to go out into the real world learn how politics works, and then come back when you have a clue. Becuase at the moment all you are doing is making yourself look like a fool. But then when did anyone ever expect sense from the Tea Party mushrooms?

Mindless babble? I must be learning from the master. No, I could never live up to your billing.

Bob everything you have ever said on this forum is mindless babble, not once since I have been here have you ever said anything that wasn't complete and utter mindless word wank: trust me, it is I who would learn anything from the master of talking utter shit at length about something you clearly know nothing about, and most likely never will.

Brag, you're being a bit harsh aren't you, is that how you see knowledge, a weapon so as to abuse people, where's that humility you spoke so highly of? Lost in the egomania? Or maybe megalomania?

@Bob It wouldn't be so bad if not for the irresistable compulsion of corporations to get bigger and bigger, and more and more powerful, gobbling up competition and creating monopolies. Here, you can forget about visiting your friendly, family dentist that is actually owned by the dentist. Most are now owned by multinational corporations based in fuck-knows-where by fuck-knows-who. Electrical companies have mostly gone the same way.Veterinerary clinics seem to be going along that path too. Doctors surgeries will probably be next. Some Western, developed countries have only two supermarket chains left, and about the same number of power and communication companies! I fail to see how someone who claims to be for 'freedom' and 'free-market capitalism' could possible approve of anti-competition monopolising like this.

I'm afraid you've got the wrong slant on things. Take Walmart for example. They've put a lot of small independent retailers out of business by providing larger selections at lower prices, which is something that customers apparently prefer over friendly neighborhood service. What's wrong with that? Nothing prevents other small retailers from going into business against Walmart.

A bit harsh? No, a bit idiotic would be better phrasing.

Bob I truly don't know how you handle the onslaught, you got grit my man, you got grit. Have you ever lost your cool in a reply? If so, I've never seen you do it! Though it's true that you and I disagree on many things, I'd fight for your right to say them!

As Roger Daltrey of The Who would say, "I don't need to fight to prove I'm right, I don't need to be forgiven."

The Who is awesome, good one!

Though my favorite one is from Quadrophenia: "Love, Reign O'er Me." Roger is bad-assed in that one, not to mention Pete for coming up with his Rock Operas, those guys really knew how to ROCK! Shame what happened in Cincinnati, though!

They provide Chinese-made crap at cheap prices, but I suppose if that's what idiots want. It's a shame for those who don't want it though, because there's little or no choice any more.

I lived in Cincinnati at the time, poor crowd control to say the least.

I'm afraid you've still got the wrong slant on things. Apple smart phones are made in China. Do you consider them crap?

I didn't say everything made in China is crap, I said Walmart is full of Chinese-made crap. There are different levels of quality-control. Why do you always bring up Apple? Is that the only company you can think of? I bet if i-phones were made in the US they would last a lot longer. Remember my 1950 American cake mixer, given to me by my grandmother?

Apparently, you have declared yourself Crapmeister of the world.
