Bastardo_grandes2014-02-26 07:14:52No one knows how many listen to Rush. I'd bet his audience is 50/50 of conservatives who agree with him and liberals who enjoy being outraged by him. I'd estimate maybe 5 million conservatives. less than 2% of America who listen and agree with him.laxand I wish you liberals RaphaelHythloday2014-02-26 07:14:33had at least a gram of respect for the Conservative Democrats who win every election they're in.stlthe Today show on NBC?

Here’s how conservatives GodAlmighty2014-02-26 07:08:14 ruined the market There was a time when the news that Comcast is about to buy Time-Warner Cable, thus eliminating its only real competitor in the cable and broadband industry, would have been greeted with a chorus of condemnation. There was a time when the public would have been infuriated by the sight of corporate deal-makers deciding, in a “friendly” transaction, to concentrate control of up to three-quarters of the cable marketplace in the hands of a single company. There was a time when the government would have been all but obligated to take action. But while apathy is surely part of the reason that the antitrust movement — a powerful force in American politics for decades — has withered away, it is not the only reason. It is now virtually impossible for the government to break up monopolistic firms the way Theodore Roosevelt once did. Three decades ago, right-wing legal scholars led a campaign to transform the way we think about monopolies, and they succeeded so completely that they permanently derailed the antitrust movement. Antitrust law was born of corporate abuse. In the 1880s, the first major wave of powerful corporate magnates in American history — known to posterity as the “robber barons” — were running roughshod over the economy, their attitude summed up in J.P. Morgan’s famous remark, “I owe the public nothing.” Despite their paeans to “free enterprise,” these master capitalists dreaded the effects of competition on their profits. As Morgan put it, “I like a little competition, but I like a combination better.” Conservative lawmakers quickly embraced the new standard. Encouraged by the Reagan administration’s lax enforcement of the antitrust laws, “merger mania” swept the country in the 1980s, and the business-friendly Clinton administration made no moves to halt the trend in the 1990s. In the eight years of his presidency, George W. Bush did not bring a single case against a monopolizing firm. Obama promised a tougher antitrust policy, but his record isn’t much better. http://ift.tt/1fQ73jBnow the claim is RaphaelHythloday2014-02-26 07:07:39FOX is irrelevant. I guess AM Radio is too. The League Of Independent Thinkers all manage to come up with the exact same talking points every day, word for word.stlaha RaphaelHythloday2014-02-26 07:05:37now do the one where recent college grads are all underemployed because Obama.

Normally when you check in, you have to go to a front desk counter, interact with a human, make your co-pay and check in. They are now automating this function. Instead there is an ATM-like machine that handles everything. Progress. Efficiency. And we will see more of it if the minimum wage goes up, as it will have a cascading effect on all low wage jobs.amsOK, but I already heard about what you're doing VS162014-02-26 06:58:02with those donut holes (shouted loud in front of regular customers)lnki dont trust this govt,,so i wouldnt serve them § cl-EXPERT2014-02-26 06:57:38amsi wonder if christian prayer groups eyl2014-02-26 06:57:15would be welcome in a gay bar....lnkI'd like to feed the foxes in the foxholes § Bastardo_grandes2014-02-26 06:56:05sfoI have no empathy for anyone else, § FROG-452014-02-26 06:54:24lnkWould you join the Military today as a cpmputer FROG-452014-02-26 06:53:36operator/programer/tech? No combat. I would. It's still a good life and a good career. sfolibertarian naivete GodAlmighty2014-02-26 06:53:29what being a Libertarian amounts to is either not having even a basic grasp of economic history, or just being a greedy son of a bitch with no empathy for anyone else, who doesn’t grasp how the social contract works for their benefit as well as for other people. I’m tired of teaching 9th grade Civics to a bunch of grown ass adults who are either too dumb, too lazy, or too fucking selfish to grasp why we don’t have a completely free market. We’ve had the “Libertarian Paradise” they keep talking about. It was called the late 1800s through the 1920s. The whole reason we don’t have a free market is because at one time we DID and it was a terrible idea. Unregulated markets were one of the contributing factors to the world wide Depression in the 1920s. Generally speaking, we don’t make laws unless there’s a reason for them. In some cases, it’s an unjust reason (i.e. sodomy laws), but there IS a reason. We didn’t just introduce anti-monopoly legislation and basic work safety laws because the government wanted to suck industry dry, but because we NEEDED THEM. Capitalism, in its pure form, rewards parasitism just as the natural world does. Evolution does not judge its creations on how much worth they put into the world; capitalism is a similar system. A parasitic worm that feasts on its host is an excellent organism from an evolutionary standpoint, as it thrives and propogates. A cigarette manufacturer, likewise, from a capitalist standpoint, is a great thing, with a product that’s always in demand, so they, too, thrive. Pure capitalism can only work if everyone acting within it has access to perfect information, both on the value they are providing as well as the costs they are imposing on society. But in reality none of us individually can have all that information, so we hire government agencies and their experts to look after our interests. Just as a business hires accountants to make sure that its books are in order, we citizens hire the SEC and the FTC and other agencies to make sure companies are playing by rules that are beneficial to society as a whole – that is, that they are competing on the quality of their products and the value they create, rather than parasitism. uvasweetie RaphaelHythloday2014-02-26 06:53:16I don't swing that way I've told you nicely stop coming on to mesrqHEY, I live in Canada.
