Desire is the springboard for all the achievements of capitalism.
Desire is the root cause of human suffering.
And service is the springboard for success in the free and
open
market.

That's the funniest assertion you have ever ventured here

I didnt expect you to understand. The real world is where
I live.
People
do not give me their money if I do not provide good service.
You

to not understand the power of freedom.

Eventually very few will be able to afford a new shed. What
then?

You appear to be convinced that liberty causes impoverishment.
That is
exactly backwards.

No - I foolishly thought that perhaps empathy might help. If
(and I hope
this never happens) you were in the position of more and more
people who
can't make a living (I think it's something like five people for
every one
job opening right now), would that perhaps make a difference in
your belief
that the free market is working and that all alone it can mend
what is
happening? What I see when I listen to the hyperbole in the audiences
of
republican debates...is the appearance of 'let them eat cake'
at best, and
downright cruelty about people struggling at worse. Cain says
it's their
fault...over and over. Is it? Do you think the recession that
is dipping
towards a depression is just a media hype?

Isn't freedom a state of mind?

The free market is the best answer to solve economic problems.

I don't think a free market will ever be allowed.
It's not in the power elites' interest to have
competition from all and sundry.

Some of the power elite understand that a rising tide does lift all
boats.

Good arguent if you own all the boats.

It's very simple:

If you don't own a boat... you drown.

If you don't have a car... you are grounded.

If you don't drive a truck... you are nothing.
