Ray if it is a free market why do things cost so much?
What you fail to state is the true cost of free enterprise. One man's luxury is paid for by another mans sacrifices.
If anybody says they made a million by hard work then ask them....WHOSE?

"Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog. Nobody ever saw one animal by its gestures and natural cries signify to another, this is mine, that yours; I am willing to give this for that." (Adam Smith 1776)
...... and we have been behaving like dogs ever since. We prey on and steal from the weak, sick, infirm and elderly and cower or suck up to the big bully dogs who are the pack leaders. Are we dogs or humans?

Bill you are probably right I do not like people who are successful in business...well folk successful to the tune of millions anyway....probably cause they are greedy crooks who rip us all off....they do not pay fair rates to their workers avoid paying their share of tax and charge too much for their produce.
You accuse me of not stating facts but spouting rhetoric.....well my opinions are based on my observations, my conscience, morals and principles. What are yours based on?

Please tell me where this following observation is wrong......Illegals are illegal yes? so why do people employ them?.....employing illegals I take it is also illegal? so why are these companies not prosecuted? or is that stepping on the toes of free enterprise? Stop illegals finding work by imposing prison AND hefty fines on folk who employ them That would stop them coming into the country.
I agree that people should be productive and I also hate laziness BUT some people for health and various other legit reasons cannot work....do you propose starving them all?

Finally to all you right wingers why is Obama coming in for so much flack when the problems you blame him for are ongoing and have been there for generations under many governmants....if these probs could not be solved by the clever Republicans who preceded him how can a mere democrat solve them.
