Yes really. It's such a nonsensical statement. Firstly, who the hell is to say the market provides every service the market would like. More importantly, the private sector wouldn't consider whether I would like, or if it's in the best interests of our country. They would only consider whether they could make money, and quite frankly I don't base every decision on whether Siemens can make billions of dollars off it.

why is it that every time a socialist posts on the politics board they have like 5 total posts? could it be because the same person keeps creating new monikers and then getting banned?

if a company can make a profit by doing something, that means they can employ people and expand their business, thus hiring even more people. When government does something, even something within it's Constitutional limits, the result is often expensive, subsidized and not very efficient.

Really? Sounds like corporatist propaganda to me. The government can and has done all sorts of things exceptionally well. My firefighters are run by the government, and I think they're great, cheap, and everyone's covered.

1. Those figure are completely made up.

2. I was referring to how much I pay for firefighter service through my taxes.

3. Let's pretend your numbers were real and firefighters made as much as lawyers. What would be your point? If workers made a lot of money the business is inherently inefficient? Because then you would think the private financial and Tech companies were the worst run businesses in the world.

you do realize that those business you mention MAKE MONEY and those people GENERATE REVENUES. paying people 6 figures to sit around all day and wait for a fire is idiocy.

your firefighters are done by your LOCAL government, not the federal government.

"corporatist propaganda"?

you're a troll, probably a reincarnation of kicker33 or cashvallin. You may even be one of utgibbs' kids typing what he tells them to type.

he's not one of those other guys. While misguided IMO, his posts at least make some sense and aren't just ramblings like the others.

he's clearly the same guy. use of words like "funny money," love of the unions, obsession with class inequality. no way it's not the same person. he must have moved or something.

edit now the mention of the happiness index for christ sake!!!!!

Yeah France and every other country with unions is in utter collapse life expectancy at 48, happiness index in the depths, and failed states. The United States in the 40's -70's were such a disastrous place too.
