The minister of finance cannot make changes to the company on a whim. There's a protocol to follow just like any other company. I've already agreed that it's socialism, but your attempt to compare it to the Federal Government taking over GM is beyond stupid. It basically stops with government holding a stake in a corporation.

Are you ever going to explain your 30% calculation???

Allow me to grant your every argument - and no, because it is not relevant.

The issue is that the government owns a sizable portion of the market, and uses the socialized proceeds to keep "free" market taxes down. That is a major socialist aspect to their economic success, with which I have no disagreement and which I would happily defend. But there are three queers - gooey, str8t and Glory Hole - who are all INSISTING that government ownership of a sizable portion of the market is not AT ALL "socialism."

I guess believing in God is not religious, and believing there is no god is not atheism. The gayness of their position is what I am attacking - and I really don't give a **** whether the government controls its socialist share of the economy, hires that control out to an entirely independent agency, or leaves the whole **** thing to a magic 8 ball. Nor do I care if you want to claim they only own 25% of the market - or 20, or 15. Go ahead. I have googled and done the work - they actually own about 28%. I say thirty to bait the liars into admitting what it really is (hasn't worked yet). .
