The fraud is in the fact that they get a law passed so that everyone needing this product is stuck, only able to buy or use their product. They created a monopoly and then charge what they want. That is why it requires regulation. That is why we have antitrust laws. The Tech world of the internet is getting the same way, not so much in what they charge us too much but in the way they use our information. It is time to break up the Googles, Facebooks, etc.

What are you some kind of socialist who wants the government to regulate prices?

The government is not a charity or a hospital. In America, the constitution enumerates the duties of the federal government, and there aren't many.

The Commerce clause in Article I, Section 8, covers quite a bit.

We need to teach more American History, with all the good and the bad, especially the Founding and the Constitution in our schools because our republic cannot survive if people are not educated in how it works.

LOL. If Corporations could only v**e as we do, what a mess we would have on our hands. After all, the SCOTUS said they were people. That's a sticky wicket. I was thinking more like Cell phones and health care, welfare, and such that that is given to the individual citizens.

You sound like you come from a place where the government thinks and acts as though it owns everything and the rest of us are here to serve the government (That vaguely sounds like the utopian dream the progressives and socialist have for America). The government gives away what isn't theirs to give. It's called redistribution. There is no such thing as free stuff. Tax credits are incentives to change our behavior just as taxes are. To begin with, it is already our or their money. Why shouldn't someone be entitled to keep the fruit of their labor rather than share it with those unwilling to earn for themselves? I have no problem sharing with the people who can't help or do for themselves through no fault of their own. And naturally, we need a government to carry out certain functions. But we don't need a bloated bureaucracy and a bigger than necessary government that thinks all wealth flows through and from it.

I come from a place where (supposedly) "government [is] of the people, by the people, for the people". So every time you say "government" I think "the people".

Of course there is "free stuff". I've gotten free stuff all my life. What do you think gifts are?

Are you seriously trying to argue that their should be no taxes?

As I am currently relying on the returns of capital, I'm reaping the fruit of other peoples labor. Am I entitled to this fruit? By the laws of the land, I am; just as the titled lords were entitled to the fruits of their land.

Do you care to do the comparison by percentage.

I'm not sure what that would prove other than that the percentage of people of color who live in poverty in America is higher than that of "w****s". I don't doubt that. Receiving public assistance is probably a very good indicator of poverty. Do you really think that doing away with public assistance will end poverty? But then, you don't want to do away with poverty; you just want to make sure the poor cannot rely on government for help (regardless of ethnicity).

How about a comparison of generational wealth and income?

Your point is well taken.
We always have to guard against fraud and BS.

Where is the fraud? They own (until the patent expires (if ever)) the delivery system. Are you suggesting that their should be some regulation of the price they're allowed to charge for the use of their property. What are you, a c****e?

This is why
Barry Latzer, PhD, Professor Emeritus of Criminal Justice at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, in a Jan. 24, 2019 article, "Do I*****l A***ns Have High Crime Rates?," available at city-journal.org, stated:
"Nationwide data on crime by i*****l a***ns is unavailable mainly because most states don't keep such records. For instance, California, with Hispanics making up more than 43 percent of its incarcerated population, provides no information on the alienage of its inmates. Texas does, though, and its Department of Public Safety reports that i*****l a***ns were arrested and charged with more than 298,000 crimes, an average of over 39,000 per year, from June 1, 2011 to the end of 2018. Though some of these arrests were for nonviolent crimes, such as theft, burglary, or drug offenses, they also include many violent crimes: 624 homicides, 1,911 robberies, and 3,955 sexual assaults (which, under Texas law, include rapes)…
No amount of crime by those who enter this country unlawfully should be acceptable, because it is 'extra' crime that wouldn't occur if our border security were effective."

Steven Camarota, PhD, Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), in a Jan. 10, 2018 article, "Non-Citizens Committed a Disproportionate Share of Federal Crimes, 2011-16," available at cis.org, stated:
"21% of those convicted of non-immigration crimes were non-citizens — 2.5 times their share of the population…
Areas where non-citizens account for a much larger share of convictions than their 8.4 percent share of the adult population include:
42.4 percent of kidnapping convictions;
31.5 percent of drug convictions;
22.9 percent of money laundering convictions;
13.4 percent of administration of justice offenses (e.g. witness tampering, obstruction, and contempt);
17.8 percent of economic crimes (e.g. larceny, embezzlement, and fraud);
13 percent of other convictions (e.g. bribery, civil rights, environmental, and prison offenses); and
12.8 percent of auto thefts."

Notice that this is talking about federal convictions. Most criminal convictions are at the state level. By clever se******n of a subset of a population one can cause misleading understanding of the total population. One might call this "lying with statistics".

Capitalism is a L*****T word politically labeled by Karl Marx. We must not use capitalism but instead, we use "Free Market" economy. That is where we have been and until now.

China used the free market with a c*******t government and succeeded.

Socialism is the form of economy controlled by the government. Not the freedom of the people. Their big government takes over everything to manage until bankruptcy prevails.

There are many different systems that are called socialism. For three see:

Something more to chew on:

FOR YOUR ANALYSIS AND CONSIDERATION:

I just received the below information, and find the content most concerning. Unless a serious but genuine mistake occurred, then there appears to be some significant problems with the announcement and identification of the alleged deceased suspect in the Dayton, Ohio bar shooting yesterday. Reportedly the gunman was dressed in body armor and shot a line of people waiting to enter a nightclub. Among those shot and k**led were the shooter’s sister and her boyfriend. Now read below.

Dayton, Ohio alleged shooter actually Died in 2014 and was survived by Megan Betts, the sister they say he k**led in Dayton yesterday?


D. View Connor Betts's Obituary on Courant.com and share memories

Connor Betts, 22, of Suffield passed away suddenly Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Connor was born in Hartford on February 12, 1992, son…

Wherein on finds:

James LaPorta, a reporter from Newsweek, took to Twitter and attempted to debunk the claim that the man in the obituary was the same person as the alleged shooter, citing differences in their middle names and birth years:

I’m going to post same basic info about the #Ohio shooter because I’m seeing a growing trend online; false f**gs & f**e news. Fact check: Connor D. Betts (L) from CT died Feb. 19, 2014 and was born in Feb. 1992. Connor Stephen Betts (R), the Ohio shooter, was born in Oct. 1994. pic.twitter.com/4ej12Nq1LZ

— James LaPorta (@JimLaPorta) August 4, 2019

An ABC News article also confirmed the suspected gunman’s middle name was Stephen:

The suspected shooter, identified by police as 24-year-old Connor Stephen Betts, allegedly carried out the massacre with a .223-caliber rifle that he legally purchased and had two drum magazines that had 100 rounds of ammunition combined, Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl said at a news conference Sunday afternoon.

On the Facebook group, Absurdism/Skepticism/Surrealism/Pessimism/Existentialism/Nihilism: REDUX,
I found the following comment that I think is relevant to this thread.

Ξενοφων Αγγελοπουλος It would be good if people stopped looking to score political brownie points for either side in any of these cases - it has been far and wide established by profilers and criminal psychologists that mass k*****gs are perpetrated almost every single time by dysfunctional loner sociopaths, almost always for reasons of personal pathology (irrespective of how these people might contextualize their actions), and always under the strain of some extra-political, sideways motivating factors of revenge, subjective obsession or predisposition to violence. NOBODY takes a gun a goes around randomly shooting strangers because they read something in a book of political philosophy alone - unless already mentally broken, emotionally unbalanced and socially inept enough to have no counterweight to their solitary fixations. To think all these mass k*****gs in non-revolutionary times are anything but a sign of how dire the mental health crisis (especially of young people) has become in the US (a country with a mile wide culture of violence and paranoia to its record already) is counterproductive af. Social polarization might help direct broken people to psychotic ends, but it is not the ultimate motive.
