well Ray, I won't go to sarcastic and just ask a question.
What is the question about? Well about if you think in terms of numbers the
following is a really stupid proffer.......
"Michael, when I look at the practitioners of "free markets" and their strongest
advocates, I find people like Jeff Skilling, Ken Lay, Michael Milken and other
outright criminals. That's what troubles me about "free markets". They always
devolve into abusive swindles."
The questions.
How many times have you been swindled in the tens of thousands of
transactions that you have participated in????
What is my personal answer to that question???
Your perspective is always and my life experience is, hmmm when have I
suffered from an abusive swindle in the marvelous Free Market American
economy.
I have shopped thousands of times and bought tens of thousands of stuff and it
all worked pretty well or was what I wanted. A few times I've encountered
problems and especially with the huge retail chains I got my money back just
like they advertised. I build all my own computers and that's a few dozen. I've
bought the parts, chasis, software over the internet (200 times), at computer
flea markets (100 times) and at huge retail chains (100 times) at commercial
resellers like tech data (50 times) at auctions (40 times)
I've never been swindled once.
So if because you can think of three names of guys who were dishonest out of
the millions of folks around your town, your county, your state and the USA
and from that ratio of millions to three conclude that "free markets". They
always devolve into abusive swindles." Then I by the numbers would conclude
that maybe you are just a very unlucky consumer or a really really stupid
consumer or just full of stupid ideas or you have no understanding of simple
arithmetic.
