"Monopolies are more often the result of government action than lack of action."

Exactly what government action led to Standard Oil? Or any of the other monopolies and cartels that grew up during the 1800s and early 1900s?

Do you just make this stuff up?

Tim can't respond....he hates the tough questions. To answer your question, he doesn't make it all up. He starts with a kernel of truth and fills it in with lies to make his theories work. He's been doing it for as long as I've known him. When you introduce facts, he either discounts them or he doesn't post back. Very typical neocon behavior.

Here's another problem arguing with Tim. A few posts back.......he was saying the US doesn't have extreme capitalism. On the surface, that seems to be right but when you compare our form of capitalism with other developed nations, then it does begin to look extreme. But you see Tim never provided any metrics with his definition of extreme. So trying to argue back is like trying to argue with jello.....the argument keeps bouncing away from your grasp and then reshaping. And all through the discussion, Tim will repeat one of his infamous lines: That's nonsense.

Bottomline: Tim has an agenda....what's good for Tim is what's good for America. <eom>
