How do I stop greed and corruption

Name: Anonymous 2006-07-23 14:48

Charities and foreign aid being misused or used to support dictators; food for oil and other programs that give money to the top instead of the bottom; politicians that accept money from lobby groups promoting food regulations, pollution control, gun laws, corporate interests, and more foreign aid to be misued; war, poverty and disaster used as a means to make money via contractors and investments; supporting corrupt leaders and officials who promote crime, war, drug trade, and suppression of education and economic freedom for its people; politicians, regulators, and law makers who are closely tied to certain industries, passing laws that benefit these industries specifically but promoting them as good for the people; lying to the public, misusing funds from taxes, donations, charities, support; using other countries as a means to avoid tax, avoid laws and regulations, pay workers barely enough to get by in poor working conditions; using countries as a dumping ground for waste and byproducts; passing laws to promote certain medicines, chemicals, services and products to come exclusively from one company to ensure high costs and no competition; stifling foreign economies by charging them more for fresh water, farming rights, business rights and natural resources or forcing everything to be government controlled so only the leaders benefit the most...

It seems the world is run by one beauracratic orgy of scratch-my-back bribery and plutocracy.

>>41 The libertarians are convinced of the power of the American notion, the essence of meritocracy. As such, they are capable of marketing liberty through soft power, unlike the neocons who obviously didn't learn a thing from the cold war, or the left who are girls all the time

Yes, you need a huge cock to let your woman know who's in charge, but you also need to stick it in the right places, analogically.

>>43 America, fucking the shit out of the worlds assholes. But it needs to learn how to clean itself up afterwards and stop feeding the same system that causes the shit in the first place. Also, the STDs doesn't help with the shit-fucking-out-of. The pussies can't complain because the cock has the dollars and the fly wheels and pussies are only good for one thing. Maybe the pussies need one of those contractions that impale the cock if it doesn't behave. I like this analogy.

What's worse? Some american coorporation building a factory, employing locals with wages they could never achieve as subsistence farmers and allowing them the luxury of iced coca cola when they take their kids to the park on the weekend, or some psychotic despot who's soldiers rape your daughter whilst taxing you into the ground?

We currently spend way too much on everything.  If a libertarian got elected, and we had a libertarian congress, a libertarian senate, etc, you could expect budget cuts across the board.  They would target the programs that are the worst, the largest waste, and need to be gotten rid of first, likely.  The military would likely have it's belt tightened like everything else, and the money would be put back in the hands of those who earned it -- the people.

Why, the psychotic despot of course! As long as he pretend to be a communist he will gain my support!

Interesting.  Are you suggesting that Americans follow the 'libertarian' ideas of foreign policy, and essentially get rid of the other despotisms the same way we got rid of the Soviet Union - just outlasting, or out-impressing them, rather than the neocon idea of just bombing them all to shit with raw industrialized firepower?

>>48 With my admittedly low level of education on the matter, I do.
>>47 You take me to giggletown, you pitiful excuse for a troll you.
>>45 What's it like when everything is in monochrome? It must be a doozy to sort out wiring for you. I'm not saying capitalism is of net deficiency for mankind, in fact my stance is that it is natural, positive and a good force. That doesn't mean I can take it for granted. Capitalism is absolutely and solely focused on profit. Any positive side-effects, even though they currently outweigh the negative ones, are accidental.

"Capitalism is absolutely and solely focused on profit."

It's based on individual rights, and personal freedom. 

Business, and profits are only results.  But the facts are, THESE are what it's based on.  This is the philosophical base -- individuality, individual rights, and freedom of the individual.
