Rand Paul Dismisses Concerns About Income Inequality, Says Some People Just ‘Work Harder’

[Dr. Acula]

Believe the U.S. Is a true meritocracy brehs

The “right-wing ideology” of “de-regulation”, or the free market is not to blame for setting the stage for the financial crisis of 08. It was government -- they pressured the financial institutions in general to lend to subprime borrowers because they didn't like the statistics on who was getting loans and who wasn’t. This whole notion of the free market is to blame came from Liberals in 08, because they wanted votes. Rhetoric speaks louder than facts when your dealing with leftist.

this is a bad explanation

you should read the book The Big Short by Michael Lewis

Rand Paul seems like a bit of a knob goblin.

Not gonna debate the crisis, people get legit angry over that shyt lol



1. Break how? Initiating force against peaceful persons would remain against the law.
2. No such laws exist in a free market, and the moment the do the market is no longer free
3. His property his rules.
4. Again, in a free market no such legislation exist and them moment it does the market is no longer free.


Its govt.s ability to control the market that creates the incentive to lobby.

Fair enough.

I think you're idealistic. You might be pure in your free market philosophy, but the vast majority of the business community, and the community in general, won't hold to those ideals. I don't think it's possible for a government to take no role in economic matters because undoubtedly at the first real crisis people would call on someone to do something. They might be wrong to do it, but many would. It's impossible to keep pandora in the box so to speak.

Specifically on the breaking strikes; peaceful strikers would be beaten just like peaceful protesters get beat today, you tell the world they intiated the violence. If they're feeling clever, they could hire a provocateur to throw a bomb like they did at hay market. Or the government would be manipulated by the capital interests that control the country into providing tactic support to the breaking itself.
