Adam got a reaction from Amazing Larry in [hey mtangelsfan] How Bernie pays for his proposals
It makes so little sense to me that anyone of sound mind would welcome more government and wish to enable it to secure more power and control over the basic functions of our lives. Even is Sanders is truly a good hearted person, only wanting what he thinks is in the best interest of the majority of people, the structure he would potentially create would be in place for really bad people to use for evil down the line.

It's not about oversight or regulation it's about the natural forces at play. No one in government is spending their own money, or taking ownership of their product. It is a fundamental flaw. No matter how much people want to think they are doing the right thing, or making fair decisions in the end they are not equipped to do so. Balanced regulations are reasonable, but once the corporate perspective changes from offering a more competitive product to simply complying with the letter of the law then we as the consumer have lost.
One thing I worry about with the Sanders movement is illustrated by your third paragraph. People need to gain a better understanding of what the stock market is and what corporations are fundamentally. The stock market is our retirement plans, our investment portfolios, the force behind the existence of many of our jobs and the main driver of new business growth and job creation within our country. Corporations are social structures that organize individuals around their most valuable skills in order to meet the demands of every day human life here on earth.
Liberals like to dehumanize and negatively connote both institutions yet both are inherently made up of people. Both are profit seeking structures - another phrase that has been given negative connotations, but profit is simply maximizing customer satisfaction while minimizing the work that goes into it. What corporations do with their money is generally always in the interest of profit - the exact opposite of government behavior. Their ability to seek out profit is limited only by their available funds. Taxes on corporations then are by definition not some magical force promoting growth or a trick to convince CEO's to make money but rather a drain on their effectiveness as the major provider of virtually everything we see around us today. Taxing corporations may be a necessary evil, but to say any less than that is just spin.

Adam reacted to red321 in The Donald - The Good And Bad Of It
Whenever I hear Rubio or Cruz talk about the conservative movement, or adhering to conservative principals, I always wonder what in the hell they are actually talking about.

Nice hit Adam.
I've been 5 of 6 twice in my long and storied career as a degenerate.
And I agree completely about Chrome...still my favorite horse since Alysheba.
I have the win ticket you sent me when he was going for the TC in 14, framed with some pics signed by Art Sherman.
Hoping to add to that this year.

In reality, what's the difference between Hillary and the Republican candidates in terms of actual policy? The differences really seem rhetorical.
