    That's not socialism. It's capitalism.

    How is it? We are living in a socialist welfare state.

    They aren't.

    So they don't pay taxes?

    I live within my means.

    Do you pay taxes? Do you understand indirect consequences?

    Christian Graus wrote:

    Except, they don't, and the fact that they don't, is half the reason their goods are so cheap.

    And the other half of course its pseudo-slavery. So again, why should we directly pay for what their industry should pay for? Shouldn't the corporations there pay for it? Or should our government cap & trade our ass and give it to them? Tell me, what is it called when corporations and governments directly work together?

    Christian Graus wrote:

    I just wondered if you're withdrawing your support of less government involvement

    I'm not for a corporate government, nor am I for a centralized command and control system like communism. I'm not for slavery, or theft. I'm for people making an honest living.

    Christian Graus wrote:

    I am not a fan of cap and trade

    Why not?

    Christian Graus wrote:

    Cap and trade has nothing to do with reducing industrial capacity. It has to do with managing the amount of CO2 produced

    Oxymoron. CO2 is directly linked to industry.

    Christian Graus wrote:

    and the idea is that it will CREATE industry, especially industry in ways to contain CO2.

    Its like taxing water and giving that money to people who produce holy water, who sell that holy water for double profits.

    Christian Graus wrote:

    I see what you mean. I have a job and pay taxes, so it's my debt and not yours ?

    That is the idea. That is how it works.

    Of course. But, government should intervene and stop business from taking advantage of countries that do not force industry to do that.

    I'm not sure how you feel you know anything about that, but, in any case, as usual, you water the terminology down to something that EVERYONE is in favour of, and act as if you're making some sort of stand.

    Because I think it will be rorted and will cost money without benfiting the earth.

    CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

    Well, that doesn't have to be true, but so long as power comes from coal, it is. SO, the point is exactly that industry has to find ways to control the amount of CO2 it emits, without limiting it's capacity. That is the idea.

        Your line of questioning is too retarded to follow when you don't keep all the preceding comments. Yes, everyone pays taxes. You answer me - does your government intend to increase taxes entirely because of the financial crisis ? It's not happening here, so my taxes were being taken, regardless.

        CaptainSeeSharp wrote:

        You obviously don't pay tax, so you have no idea what you're talking about, and no ability to comprehend the basic issue here. I am paying the national debt, from my taxes. BUT, my taxes do not change based on the level of debt. Therefore, the level of debt does not affect me directly, it doesn't change how much tax I pay.

        I can't even remember what it was, but I know that your line of 'reasoning' is too retarded for me to follow it without going back and rereading the entire thread. How about you spell it out for me, and save me the bother ?

        Well, that's your theory. I tend not to take the theories of people who base their view on youtube and who cannot spell as well as a 5th grader too seriously. Fusion continues to be a fantasy. I agree that nuclear is a viable option, but most people are opposed to it.

              Well, a per person number is close to meaningless. But, again, for the hundredth time, I do not pay more taxes than I would if we had no debt.

              Not as irresponsibly as you guys, but I don't disagree with this entirely.

                    Well, we could discuss that, but I thought we were discussing my level of debt and how my taxes are affected by the national debt ( which is, not at all )

                    This is BS. I'm sorry. I could move to another country tomorrow, and take all of my money with me. Therefore, the debt is not mine in an real or defining manner.

                    Taxes are not something that were created with any intention of creating debt. So, there's no correlation between my paying taxes, and the government being in debt. As I keep explaining.

                    I know that the concept of being successful in life is alien to you, but you'd be surprised to learn that despite paying taxes, working, and contributing to society, I actually don't get asked by my government before they borrow money, or how they decide to spend it. I do always try to vote for the people who I think are the most fiscally responsible, and not the people offering the biggest handout, but I am in the minority.

                      So you admit that I did not actually delete any comments?

                      I simply stated the fact that I did not say that I claimed anything.

                      Whats makes you think that you are not responsible to pay back your financiers of the public services that you receive, that are paid for in part by your lender?

                      So you do not pay taxes? Are you saying that you don't have to pay off your national debt or make interest payments on that debt?

                      Then why do you continue to get into debt?

                      Yes it is. If you have a national debt, then you have not paid for those services entirely, somebody else has lent you what you didn't have to pay yet, so you owe them money.

                      There isn't any particular one I'm aware of for that kind of arrangement, if anything it's leaning towards corporatism, which is on the exact opposite end of the political scale from socialism. Now, problem is the government isn't asking them to, it isn't telling them to, it actually loses out a bit from the fact they're moving, it simply allows them to, so it's more along the lines of 'bending over for big business' than anything summed up easily in a single term.

                            hey css... i know it took a long time for me to get back to you, but I did the show and i have the fed protest of boston edited and it's uploaded on danverstv.org go to that site, go to Video on Demand at the top, and look for The Currency of Democracy, under Danvers Access Shows. It's the December 3rd show. My shows are an hour long each, and it only has my three latest ones. So I'll be uploading to youtube when I get unlazy. Good hunting man. I think you'll find my shows to be pretty interesting.

                              I can't believe you actually fall for that crap. How does moving industry over to india and china where they can pollute as much as they like helpful to the environment, even if the life sustaining gas of CO2 was deadly poison and actually did cause measurable warming which actually did cause catastrophe? How does double-tripling-quadrupling-++ of food prices (among everything else) helpful to anyone? Especially those hundreds of millions already on the edge of starvation? How does the consolidation of corrupt unelected power helpful to anyone? How is the total plunder of and looting of our country, and debt enslavement of our children helpful?

                                Production is deliberately moved to developing countries where pollution and exploitation of labour are tolerated. It lowers costs and increases profits. It has nothing to do with the AGW agenda, unless you can provide a coherent explanation. BTW: GATT was created when the USA was an exporter of goods, and the rest of the world had tariffs and quotas on imports from the USA. NAFTA was created to exploit Mexico and Canada. The USA never enters into any agreements unless it thinks it is going to screw the other parties. If this objective has gone pear-shaped for the USA - :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:.

                                    From what I remember that was one of the major fears coming from ethanol, at least corn based. Farmers grow corn for that rather than food, drives up food costs. At least that's the only spot I remember hearing it.

I always figured it was rather odd as ethanol has been around quite a while, but I'm not exactly on top of our national corn infrastructure and consumption of ethanol so I'm far from qualified to judge the impact using more of it.

                                          Problem with all this is that Corn is a horrible crop. Seriously. In order for it to grow as fast as it does it needs more nutrients than any other crop. Not a little bit more either. It sucks the land dry and they have to constantly replenish the land with fertilzer. The net result is that corn is just plain expensive to grow. You want to give the land a break every 3-4 years or no amount of fertilizer will help. Growing soybeans actually ends up being a net increase in land enrichment. Couple this with Corn being as close to the root cause of all evil that I can come up with and I don't really think we need to worry about this. If corn crops aren't good enough to feed people, they have alternatives. High fructose corn syrup is in everything nowadays. Some might point out how obesity has gone up since they started replacing sugar as a sweetener (it's more expensive since it grows in less places) with it. Others might point out how a large percentage of the population has a mild corn allergy and can't process it and wonder why we even bother with the darn crop. If you killed off all the corn on the planet we could switch to other crops and probably be better off. Very few things would suffer greatly.
