If the Mixed Economy was a spectrum with the right being Outright Capitalism with No government interference and the Left being Complete Socialism (Government owns and operates all the business). The US is farther to the right than Western Europe. My fear is that as the US economy continually moves left on this spectrum by more social programs, nationalizing of banks is only going to make life worse. The profit incentive gets lost. My "fearmongering" as you call it is simply pointing out that the country is moving towards the left of the spectrum. Call me a "fearmongerer" if you will but I hate government interference in the market. The more that happens the less free people become.

I don't think you read my post. I said it was fearmongering, and that you were doing a particularly poor job of it.

Again... How can it be fearmongering if "Americans think it would be great"? Is it because Americans really don't think the economy of Western Europe is what they want?

http://cougarguard.com/forum/showpos...0&postcount=39 Read the whole thing. You don't need to be successful in your attempts to be a fearmongerer. It is your act that defines you, not the public's reaction to your act. |

We could have a lot less government than we have today and still have plenty to go around. Gov't is a necessary evil that is constantly trying to expand itself in unnecessary ways.
