I have quoted you, recently, using five. That's with snap backs intact. But let's use YOUR claim. Two? And you use them depending on what partisan point you are trying to push. It's odd that with two to choose between, BOTH of your "definitions" of socialism allow the government (of Singapore, an...

That's what Socialism is, moonbat. Unless you're talking about people living on some commune. Clearly you're not aware that Obama's munchkins have already written 20,000 or so pages of regulation micromanaging the health care sector. Or the thousands of pages written by bureaucrats for Dodd-Fank. ...

This is precisely the religious nutjobbery that made Socialist Singapore "not socialist." The minute a nation's economy takes off, the whack jobs at Heritage tell you it "cannot" be anything but capitalist, since ONLY capitalism can succeed. This is the dame effeminate sillyness that had you declari...

There need to be a few simple laws to govern those who engage in any kind of business. But there are 10's of thousand of pages of them to the point no ordinary citizen or small businessman can possibly follow them. Crushing business activity and making felons out of people doing business in what t...

Who besides you ever said that I want beltway politicians running the economy? If corrupt government is a problem, why would anyone be against fixing it? Against holding it accountable to do its job - which, like it or not, includes regulating the market. Or did you think the Easter Bunny would reg...

Then why would you possibly want Beltway politicians running the economy? Because they and their contributors in Big Business will ride roughshod over the average citizen. As has been seen under FDR and Obama, in particular....

You said "shareholders," which of course you know to be a lie. There is only one "shareholder:" the government of Singapore. Government ownership of the means of production WAS socialism, before you came out, son. And you don't get to say what I want - unless you agree that I get to say what you w...

WTF? The topic is Economics, but you start bleating about foreign policy. China is not Communist. If it were, it wouldn't have a powerful, strongly growing economy. That is a literal impossibility. And we don't "give" them anything. Reagan didn't triple the national debt. No one tripled the nat...

This precisely proves my point. The Golden Rule is the one thing humans can count on forever: He who has the gold makes the rules - and Temasek follows those rules. Who sets the investment objectives? Temasek? No - Temasek FOLLOWS those objectives. And the implicit pretense that phone calls are no...

Agreed on Johnson - but so-called "free market supporters" - whatever you think that means - vote for and empower the type of people who triple our national debt, fight wars of choice off budget, give the world's most powerful communist nation unfettered access to the world's largest consumer market...
