Funny that he works for an evil conscience-less corporation and has never had a bad experience with one in 70 years.

This commentor at PJM could h/b posting to koan: Dr.Scott It is truly sad that you can believe such tripe. 1. “Corporations,” are not the biggest problem. See any analysis of Adam Smith’s masterwork, or engage in ECON101 at any reputable college, to understand comparative advantage. If a big, evil corporation is such a problem, why are you working with a computer, created and manufactured by evil corporations? How about that electricity, all from wind and solar power I assume? Don’t decry capitalism and suckle it’s teat at the same time, you sound like a damned fool. 2. Raising taxes on those who produce only increases costs on the goods or services produced. You’d figure that decades of thievery by government overseers would sink in at SOME point…. 3. Corporations have nothing to do with public “education.” If corporations sponsored education, they would create and enforce rules that were beneficial to the practice of education. Education would not be undertaken for no benefit, because it would be a waste of resources in such an instance. Again, ECON101 or Adam Smith; you cannot afford to be so gullible in this world. 4. It is NOT the government’s place or responsibility to provide food, medical care, or other staples of life to anybody. It is the individual’s responsibility to provide for themselves without interfering with another’s right to do the same, and the government’s place is to SAFEGUARD THE RIGHTS INHERENT TO THE CITIZEN’S LIFE. This is precisely why communist visions, such as your comment alludes to, fail miserably. Your rights and your business are not mine, and do not pick my pocket to line your own. When you rob Peter to pay Paul, two things are certain: Peter will love it and Paul will hate it. http://pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/california-the-road-warrior-is-here/?singlepage=true
