Make sure when you start laughing to begin with an M. MUAHAHAHAHAH is much more villainous than your everyday peasant sort of HAHAHAHAH.

Jack chick disagrees. "haw haw" is the preferred vocalization of humorous pleasure by the evil or villainous

Who said the government is filling the void, and why is the a precursor to the solution?

I know I've said numerous times in this forum and I teach the same every semester:

By examining extremes it is easy to see that there can be "too much" and "not enough" inequality. The extreme of "not enough" is that everyone makes the same amount and it is easy to see how this Socialist Utopia creates disincentives to certain work (why devote your life studying to take the liability of being an ER surgeon when you only make as much as the fry cook?) and falls apart. The extreme of "too much" is that one person controls 99.9% of the wealth, leaving everyone else fighting for the scraps. It is easy to see how this would quickly fall apart (probably in quite bloody fashion, as well).

The questions facing us right now are those of a) how much is too much? b) how did they get this way? c) what can we do about it?

In the long run, if we do nothing, the market will eventually correct itself with a massive contraction of the business cycle. I believe 100% that markets are generally self-correcting, however there should not be a misunderstanding of how markets self-correct. They don't do so quickly or painlessly.

I leave this forum to debate questions a, b and c. I've gotta go take my Ferrari in for service.

a.) Who gets to decide that? The obvious answer would be an elected person of some sorts. How many truly trust any of these clowns to be that directly invovled. IMO allowing that would allow much much more. #slipperyslope

c.) IDK. What do you think?

d.) Do you think that people making that money means they are taking it away from others?
