You're just singing form the Free Market (Big Busines Bulldozer) song sheet. There are many other song sheets and many other songs. Onya bike... Gerry

There is no "win" - I've been trying to get you to actually explain your position and support it with evidence so we can have a rational discourse (and whether you believe it or not I was trying very hard to give your position the benefit of the doubt). Given you've not actually done so I would suggest if anything we have both lost. JL

I've explained my position. There are numerous economists who hold similar positions. Google it, boyo... Maybe they could give you the evidence and rational discourse you so crave. I have never been accused of, or found guilty of, the crime of rational discourse. May I remind you of this country's defamation laws? If you presist in slandering my reputation in this way, you shall hear from my lawyers. You think I'm on the wrong track, I think I'm on the right track. You are a capitalist pig and I am socialist scum. Nothing will ever change any of that. Learn to live with it. Come the revolution, we may meet again. Get your affairs in order. Get your humour meter fixed! Onya bike... Gerry |
