Price controls, subsidies and socialism

[jonriv]

Actually- most revolutions are very similar and share similar traits. Not sure we are anywhere near Weimar Hyper-inflation or Czarist collapse- perhaps you should wake-up?

I'll keep enjoying life, being productive- you can go hide on your compound with the rest of the paranoids worrying about the impending apocalypse

As for the feds wanting your guns- Supreme Court upheld the Right to Bear Arms District of Columbia v. Heller and McDonald v. Chicago

I feel sorry for all of you- it must be frightening to live the way you do....

I am doing great! My concern is with the future of my kids and grandkids.
I think you are in the financial world, how about that market today? QE is not having the effect it did, huh?

But keep believing DIII softball can beat DI. LOL

One day does make market. I'm an investor, not actrader

Man my feeing exactly!.!.!.! Ha ha.

One side note though. JonRiv is correct about revolts. They all have a handful of common traits. The biggest is when the general population as a whole get tired of who's in charge. Right now there's a lot of pist people in America!

Similar traits yes, always different circumstances. Don't be under the illusion it can't happen in the US - again. The only reason our economy has not collapsed is because the artificially low inflation rate and gov QE. The market will crash, then turds will hit the fan. And yes 33, people are pissed.

FBI Uncovers Al-Qaeda Plot To Just Sit Back And Enjoy Collapse Of United States

Happy tax day!

The U.S. government does not represent the interests of the majority of the country's citizens, but is instead ruled by those of the rich and powerful, a new study from Princeton and Northwestern universities has concluded.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... ludes.html

The peer-reviewed study, which will be taught at these universities in September, says: "The central point that emerges from our research is that economic elites and organised groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on US government policy, while mass-based interest groups and average citizens have little or no independent influence."

Researchers concluded that US government policies rarely align with the the preferences of the majority of Americans, but do favour special interests and lobbying organisations: "When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or with organised interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias built into the US political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favour policy change, they generally do not get it."


Tell me something I don't know.
If voting made any difference it would be illegal.

Perhaps they would be more aligned if more than 57% voted (the was the last Presidential election) This also not a new phenomena- been happening for 200 years

Voting turnout is is actually far lower for state and local elections(where their vote has a bigger impact) Too many people take our democracy for granted and are apothetic about the whole process(then bitch and moan when things don't go the way they want)

If you look by education and income levels(the elites?) the voting levels are twice the national average-- might be so correlation??

These Princeton and Northwestern Academics should have just listened to George Carlin 20 years ago.
