Out.They should not have been bailed out Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

Robert Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Economic Freedom? Great...it will be in heaven then! Quote
Moderators lazarus Posted January 13, 2012 Moderators Posted January 13, 2012 ! Gov't should not be in the business of bailing out private companies. The problem is that it has always been in that business. Governments of all complexions have given bailouts. Quote Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. Einstein
olger Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Even with it's flaws, capitalism is the best system we have. Quote "Please don't feed the drama queens.."
bonnie Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Even with it's flaws, capitalism is the best system we have. I for one am waiting to hear the solution to capitalism. It has flaws and fraud,it has good things and helps many.It has been praciticed since the fall and suddenly everyone acts as if it is a new evil just invented with the sole intention of depriving some. Everyone,including pastors care for the needs of their families because of a direct result of capitalism. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make. It's not your parents, your past relationships, your job, the economy, the weather, an argument, or your age that is to blame.

Dr. Shane Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 What should have happened to the banks during the recent troubles? The pure capitalists will tell you that government intervention is what caused the recent troubles with the banks in the first place. I am sure that is part of it but I certainly am not one that believes in a totally free-market system with little or no regulation. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Robert Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Zactly! I'll be real happy when China/India or Mexico takes your job. Then I'll send you a beer (or near-beer) for you to cry in. Quote
Guest Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I'll be real happy when China/India or Mexico takes your job. Really Robert, that would make you happy? Quote
Dr. Shane Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Labor unions were probably the easier way to get many of our rights that we take for granted today. Labor unions got us worker's compensation and a 40-hour work week. The other option, which other nations have used, is to overthrow the government. So in a way we can thank the labor unions for preserving the Constitutional form of government that we have. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...
