Having a "voice" is not the same as having a "vote".

No, but having a "voice" which also has deep pockets and its own agenda (profit) has a tremendous (and dangerous) influence. All candidates that receive the most money will be even more deeply indebted to big business lobbyists. A popular candidate who is more for the "people" than for corporations has no chance in hell, as there will be little to no money for advertising or face time. See, even the nominees that we get to vote for in the end will be already "bought". This is terrrible for our country. The rest of us will lose.

Nobody is talking about a California bankruptcy leading to the end of the dollar. But some have brought up the specter of the end of the euro as Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy all go tits up.

You understand that the ban stands on direct contributions from corporations to politicians, and that advertisers must still identify themselves, right?

Just because something works at a national level in a nation smaller than some of our states doesn't mean it will work at a national scale in a nation twice the size of the EU....


Just because something works great with 20,30, or 200k people, doesn't mean it will work with 300 million...


Tripling the national deficit is significantly more problematic than increasing it by less than 100%.

Just because something works on a small scale, doesn't automatically mean it won't work on a larger scale. Since Dubya didn't triple the deficit, not sure what you're talking about here. From the news reports I've hear, the budget that obama submitted the other day has the same deficit that Dubya left him.

You're worried about the left understanding scale; maybe you should be worried about you understanding facts.

From wiki

US area= 9,826,675 km^2
United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

EU area= 4,324,782 km^2


9[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]826[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]675 / 4[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]324[SIZE=-2] [/SIZE]782 = 2.27217811

So you are saying that the far left must dumb itself down to understand scale...

LAMO...you are so ready to spew your partisan rhetoric that you did not even understand or answer the question.

Based on your answer.....and the "dumbness" of it....you must be the opposition of the far left that you mention in your NON answer of the question.

It doesn't prove it doesn't work either

There is no comparable model to the US. If you are talking healthcare, we know for a fact that our existing model costs too much and provides too little service

So why not address rising healthcare costs?

Wage and price controls? Too extreme, hasn't been done since the Nixon Administration.

When it failed miserably.
Why does the Left consistently want policies that have demonstrated failure time and again?
