Call me old-fashioned but I think it's wrong when the powers that be deceive, manipulate and strong-arm the local worker to give what they owned, personally or collectively.
Why is the elite's right to ownership less sacred than the common citizen's? "You", in your example, can only buy these services because you could influence the State to wield its power in your best interest. Wagging the dog and all that...
- golergka 9y ago> deceive, manipulate and strong-arm the local worker Can you back this claim up, please? > to give what they owned, personally or collectively Who is "they" here? Also, what are you talking about? > Why is the elite's right to ownership less sacred than the common citizen's? I have no idea, because I never made such a claim. > "You", in your example, can only buy these services because you could influence the State to wield its power in your best interest. I don't understand. Why wouldn't I be able to buy these services otherwise? > Call me old-fashioned I don't want to call you old-fashioned. More like incoherent.
- jacobush 9y ago"They" = people who design superpacs and that money is speech. Ownership = as a nation and a democracy we steward many tangible values of the country You couldn't buy these services without NAFTA etc. Oldfashioned as in I romantically want to believe in "we the people" and not "we the global elite"
