      Are you saying that corporations do not buy politicians and use money to coerce legislation in their favor against the wishes of the American people?

        Oh, whew. I thought you were about to start talking about the Jews or something.

        I’m totally in favor of regulating corporations much more strongly. I just think that as long as we have appropriate regulation, there’s no better socioeconomic system we’ve yet found.

          It works great when highly regulated. The “invisible hand” is a myth, and cooperation always acheives more than competition (which wastes resources nonstop).
