Dont try to protect your selfishness and greed on me. YES we are in this together but no, we don't have to value or want the same things. GROW UP.

I always make a distinction between a free market and capitalism. The same way as I make a distinction between social democracy and socialism - or communism in it's worst case. Note the ism in all these words. In most cases it points to a system running unchecked. And that's never a good thing, since any given system isn't in the business of correcting itself.
Not only no but HELL NO!
A corrupt system will never correct it's self, it will only corrupt further till it fully brakes down. Free markets can correct themselves with proper oversight, oversight is easily corrupted by major players who want to run the table. Capitalism has always been corrupted; look at it today do you think it's a fair market?
Private prisons, are these really necessary? It's digesting that you can buy stock in company's that supports mass incarceration. This a major problem that the justice system even allows this. A high percentage is non-violent drug crimes, and a even higher percentage is for pot, for crying out fucking loud POT is not a major problem! A person get's high eats some cookies and watches a movie. You should not be in prison for such a small petty issue, what about the people that get drunk and beats there spouse? They belong prison before a person who was caught getting high and had a oz of weed in there house.

This is were capitalism leads, the favoritism of special interests. A place were beer company's does not want pot legal cause they can't compete. What would be your preference of your choice drug, beer or pot? My vote goes to pot, far more enjoyable then beer.

I agree with you on the prisons and pot. It's wrong to have private prisons. And pot is nothing.

I'm sure that hate flank is coming that I support a job killing position on ending the private prison industry. There's money in helping drug addicts and getting homeless people back to work.

It is frighting but he is right everyone is replaceable to a certain degree. Think of it this way, you have 10 people in a bank and the vault is open. Four Armed gunman ambush the place and start shooting. Here is our cast of the 10 people in the bank before the armed gunman storm the place. A banker interviewing for a job, a medical doctor, a scientist, a upcoming author, a middle aged manger of a Burger King, a brilliant inventor, a old woman, the bank staff and you . The old woman has been at the counter for a while arguing about something at the only available window open. Everyone starts to strike up a conversation about what they do for a living while there waiting for the old woman to hurry up. The lone security guard has just opened the vault to check on something, you are positioned by closest to the safest place in the bank. The gunman enter and shoot the a office manager in the head that was passing by to show they mean business. You see a chance to protect yourself and drag two others with you into the vault and have to leave the others to a unknown fate. Who is more valuable out of the cast of characters? I personally would save the doctor and the inventor. Who would you save? I would save the old woman because she's my mother. And I would save the upcoming author because he's my son.

HA HA HA HA HA Trump was stupid enough to post an autograph baseball from PETE ROSE!
For those not old enough to remember Pete Rose got banned from the MLB for illegal sports betting. Who is next Drumpf? Lance Armstrong? Sharapova?

Brian, it's not how much money you make. It's all about how much you contribute vs take.
I think you are a taker.
You aren't paying my bills so I couldn't give one rats ass what you think of me. You've been sold selfish childish classist bullshit.
You can make this about me the individual all you want, but I am not the only person in society at the low end. Fuck you. You don't have the balls to go up to a low wage worker or even a homeless person for that matter and spew the judgmental bullshit you aim at me here. Your judgmental bullshit is your baggage not mine.
You are just another self centered brat who stupidly thinks pay equals morality. Live in your ivory tower asshole. You have no clue what a selfish person you are in reality.
Contribute vs take? Yes lets go after the takers, like the Kochs, Walmart, GE, EXXON, NFL... I agree.
