Re: "What you are not seeing is that unbridled capitalism will eat up liberty the same way that Wal Mart ate up the small ma and pa businesses in the towns that it entrenched itself." Why above, do you ignore my other reply and the grand error you made in your prior post? One comment about Wall Mart. You defend the status quo here. Very static thinking, IMO. Capitalism allows change. So you don't believe in this kind of change, eh liberal? Ok, you feel it's right to hang on to mom and pop stores. How long will it be 'til you might decree that they no longer suffice? Would you contend they would always suffice? Would regulate them into existence(regulating Wall Mart out, as criminal LaRouche has instructed you)? Ok, you go stand in the way of history and benefits realized(which we as yet likely scarcely understand). Fine. Capitalism is designed to ensure liberty. Your traditional notions are to create liberty by the design of public servants(or hold on to otherwise passing era's, freezing in time what free markets temporarily wrought, though free markets would indicate evolution is in constant order). Our public servants shuffle too much money now, and fail dramatically at delivering fairness and liberty. This is hardly unusual, in fact this calamity is an historical deja-vu repeated many times over across the globe. America was nigh a first. Understand it(America). Hold on to it, because American Freedom is not just the guts of an economic tiger, but a blessing to all. Merry Christmas, Dan B.
