Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[GEO928]

alex.....you wrote (i added the bold)

free markets cannot be allowed to run rampant with no oversight

I never said NO.....the word is MINIMAL....

in regard to the financial markets....

we must remember that money is a self fulfilling prophesy....and, it generates money from money.....it produces nothing.....yet, people, over the course of human history, equate money and power....

government has no business in the private sector.....it's in it because self serving politicians have several levels of reasons to usurp the money....all of which revolve around power....whether for personal enrichment, the domestic resons or international relationships....

it's all about power!

so, it's best to let the markets operate as freely as possible....because the market will kill the bad guys....

in this crisis you are watching politicians keep the bad guys alive.....for a variety of reasons....all about power!
