The Economic Tyranny of Government Product Recalls

You buy a product, I don't care if it's a pair of scissors or an automobile, if there's a product defect, unless it's a question of fraud, it's caveat emptor, let the buyer beware!
caveat emptor
noun
1. let the buyer beware: the principle that the seller of a product cannot be held responsible for its quality unless it is guaranteed in a warranty.

Voting is an anachronism that should be abolished!
Posted: Thu Jun 11, 2015 9:55 pm
In modern society, going to the polls and voting in a political election is an absurdity that should be done away with. Can you imagine how bizarre it would be have an election for TV programs? The crap you see on TV would be even worse than it is now. Commercial television and its advertisers wouldn't put up with such nonsense. They use sampling techniques and data provided by the A.C. Nielsen Company to provide low-cost and accurate viewer preferences. The same thing should be done for political elections. Let a market research company determine the winners and losers!
It's time for the government to get out of education altogether!

First the federal government needs to abolish the Department of Education, and then force state and local governments to do the same thing, selling their schools and universities, and firing all administrative and teaching personnel. This is not to say the government should not ensure that children receive an adequate education, in the same way it ensures that children receive adequate food, shelter and clothing. But just like food, shelter and clothing, education should be the full and total responsibility of their parents or guardians.

Can you say why, or is this just more of your "divine inspiration", Bob?Re: It's time for the government to get out of education altogether!

Public "education" at all levels is a putrid mockery of the subject. That's because it is a monopoly run by bureaucratic stooges beholden to unions and operating outside the discipline of the free market. The fact that public education is non-profit is in itself a recipe for disaster. Furthermore, private non-profit educational institutions (e.g. Ivy League universities) should be forced to reorganize into profit-making organizations with shareholders, and no school or university should receive tax breaks or government support of any kind.mickthinks wrote:

The economic basis is the perceived value of Race, in particular the White Race.
To understand the above sentence one would need to understand the impact of perceived cultural value on economics.

An economic basis for race taxation would be if you instituted slavery of a particular race, and a person of that race was considered property that could be bought and sold.Brit Dems wrote:bobevenson wrote:Racial taxation has no economic basis.

Very good but what if one instituted slavery of a number of races, and persons of those races were considered property that could be bought and sold?

Okay, you've not said why, but just posted more of your unsubstantiated beliefs. I guess "inexplicable", "unjustifiable" and "implausible" is all your "divinely inspired prophesy" amounts to, Bob.
The fact that public education is non-profit is in itself a recipe for disaster.
I disagree. Can you say why you think that?

A property tax has no economic basis, and is uncollectible.
"market values" are by definition not intrinsic.

Are not "market values" the values set by those who control / regulate the market?
The market regulators will need to charge (tax) for their regulatory services.
Is not the success of a market dependent on the skills of the regulators?

Intrinsic is what you get when you melt it down into its constituent parts.
So a gold watch is worth is weight in gold intrinsically.
