    Lame peanut, like so much you present to the forum this is just another rationalization for your own inadequacies and your inability to respond in a reasoned an cogent manner.



    Coming from one of the prime segregators of Galbraith’s neo-Keynesian bull shit that is hilarious. I really wish Keynes had lived longer. His disciples twisted his ideas to fit their own will-to-power and went where Keynes would not have gone.



    Okay peanut, so I am talking over your head and you are unable to rebut anything. All you are capable of doing is making arrogant snide insulting comments, creating straw man arguments, and ridicule anything that does not agree with your ideological ranting. When you got nothing, what else can you fall back on? Bullshit. Big piles of bullshit.

    If there was content ... it could be defended. All who come to the defense of the practice merely empathize with the drivel. Yet they manage themselves to provide content, wit, and succinctness. They don't use the practice of making posts devoid of substance, but empathize with the fluffed up dogma.

    If that was the rational for debate ... we could survive with one liners and intellectual jabs ... never mind an enormous page of one liners and jabs.

    Re: The Real Causes of Income Inequality

    Open a word document, make a long list of intellectual insults and one line responses. Copy and paste at the appropriate time in debate. For more effect ... copy and paste the whole list, with smilies, giving the appearance of having said something insightful. Close the post with you best intellectual insult and make an appeal to your dogma.

    The great thing about one liners and intellectual jabs in debate ... is they are brief. Everybody needs an outlet for frustration during debate ... and most times this expression is entertaining, given its generally brief ... I appreciate it's entertainment value.

    20 of them in one post deserves a bitch slap.

    I never get even halfway through one of his screeds.
    Then as I said before, you miss out on a lot of good information. Your problem is, you are narrow minded on the subject and you don't want to accept that your opinion is not the only one there is. M maybe long winded but he has a better grasp of the situation than you do.

Fluff is boring and anyone can write a 6 page essay fluffed out of a pages worth of information. We just choose to condense our info and intellectual digs.
    What you call "fluff" is little more than the writer qualifying what he expresses. Sure, if M were more brief it would be easier to read, but his opinions tend to be very good.

    Yes (former) and no (latter). MC and SS are PAID for by the individuals getting the benefits. Those benefits are owed.
