That is a matter of opinion. But America was not a libertarian economy in 1914. And was just 15 years from the great republican depression. Nice try, dipshit. But you are truly showing your ignorance again, which is, by the way, epic. .You are arguing against yourself. America has never been a successful libertarian economy. Ever. So, as I said, consistently, there never has been a successful libertarian based economy.
Was America successful in 1914 or not?
it would be a good start to end the corporate welfare/subsidies/tax breaks to the petroleum & financial *cough* "service" sectors.

Now, now, rabbi. We all understand your opinions. You are, after all, a libertarian. And still looking for an economy that your heroes, libertarian economists, believe is sufficiently directed by libertarian principles to call it LIBERTARIAN. And though there are none, and though Libertarians are building a libertarian island, you still believe. And then you expect to be taken seriously.Which indicates you hate people posting facts and backing them up with impartial sources. We understand.

When have you ever posted anything resembling facts, much less backed them up?
You are an arrogant ninny. You dont know anything about economics, history, or logic. What you don't know would fill the internet.

There are no tax breaks to the petroleum industry.

If so, then why does the CBO identify $20 billion a year of specific "tax expenditures" for the oil and gas industry?
Also please explain to me what IDC are and why no other industry is allowed this kind of tax treatment. And why oil and gas get 15% depletion where other minerals generally get only 5%.
Don't forget to throw in an ad hominem that I don't know what I am talking about. I've had Texas oilmen in the family since 1932. I'm named after field accountant for Texaco. And my area of practice is tax law.
Here. Try again me poor ignorant con tool:So the American economy c.1914 was successful. And that was without about 95% of the regulation we have today.
Really, me boy, even you can not be that stupid. You are simply playing the normal con tool word games. Yes, me boy, we all know that pure monopolies are illegal unless regulated. But that is NOT what is required for monopoly power. Now, I really do not have any hope in you learning anything, because you do not want to. You simply post dogma. But all economists know what monopoly power is, know it exists, and do not deny that it exists. Here is an article, given you as though you would like to learn:Still waiting for examples of monopoly power in business.
Way too easy, my poor ignorant con tool. Way too easy:Still waiting for examples of successful socialst economies.
Top 10 Most Socialist Countries in the World
Posted by PeerformAdmin on Dec 6, 2012 in Money Smarts | 88 comments
The term socialist has been thrown around quite a bit in the past few years. Not since the cold war has the term garnered so much attention in the press and from politicians. But when you look at countries who actually have a socialist economic structure, you can see some similarities to the United States – but there are some really stark differences.
Below, you will see some of the most socialistic nations in the world today:
China
Denmark
Finland
Netherlands
Canada
Sweden
Norway
Ireland
New Zealand
Belgium
Despite popular myths, there is very little connection between economic performance and welfare expenditure. Many of the countries on this list are proof of that, such as Denmark and Finland. Even though both countries are more socialistic than America, the workforce remains stronger.

Jesus, me boy, if you were not such a con tool, if you did not live among the bat shit crazy con web sites, and if you were not paid to post conservative dogma, you could get your answers quickly with a simple google search. Back to your fantasy world, dipshit.Somehow I dont think I'll hold my breath.
You just can not admit you lied can you, rabbi. So, the oil industry DOES have tax breaks. Now say it, rabbi. Say "Oldfart just proved me wrong." It would be SOOOOOO good for you soul.There are no tax breaks to the petroleum industry.
If so, then why does the CBO identify $20 billion a year of specific "tax expenditures" for the oil and gas industry?
Also please explain to me what IDC are and why no other industry is allowed this kind of tax treatment. And why oil and gas get 15% depletion where other minerals generally get only 5%.

The oil industry has specific needs in regards to accounting. Surely you know this.
So rabbi, being incapable of reading, states:

That is a matter of opinion. But America was not a libertarian economy in 1914. And was just 15 years from the great republican depression. Nice try, dipshit. But you are truly showing your ignorance again, which is, by the way, epic. The economic boom from 1914 to 1918 is explained herein (I know you can not read, but perhaps you know someone who can read and explain it to you):
Quote:
When the war began, the U.S. economy was in recession. But a 44-month economic boom ensued from 1914 to 1918, first as Europeans began purchasing U.S. goods for the war and later as the United States itself joined the battle. "The long period of U.S. neutrality made the ultimate conversion of the economy to a wartime basis easier than it otherwise would have been," writes Rockoff. "Real plant and equipment were added, and because they were added in response to demands from other countries already at war, they were added precisely in those sectors where they would be needed once the U.S. entered the war."
Entry into the war in 1917 unleashed massive U.S. federal spending which shifted national production from civilian to war goods. Between 1914 and 1918, some 3 million people were added to the military and half a million to the government. Overall, unemployment declined from 7.9 percent to 1.4 percent in this period, in part because workers were drawn in to new manufacturing jobs and because the military draft removed from many young men from the civilian labor force.
The Economics of World War I
A boom financed by war and government spending. Yup, sounds like a libertarian utopia. Jesus.
Really, me boy, even you can not be that stupid. You are simply playing the normal con tool word games. Yes, me boy, we all know that pure monopolies are illegal unless regulated. But that is NOT what is required for monopoly power. Now, I really do not have any hope in you learning anything, because you do not want to. You simply post dogma. But all economists know what monopoly power is, know it exists, and do not deny that it exists. Here is an article, given you as though you would like to learn:Still waiting for examples of monopoly power in business.
Monopoly power
A pure monopoly is defined as a single supplier. While there only a few cases of pure monopoly, monopoly power is much more widespread, and can exist even when there is more than one supplier such in markets with only two firms, called a duopoly, and a few firms, an oligopoly.

Now my poor ignorant con tool, that is just one of hundreds of articles that explain what monopoly power is. Should you care. But I am sure that, being a con tool, you will want to go on saying that monopoly power does not exist. And only other con tools will go along with that fantasy.
Examples. Hell, that is way too easy. There are well over 100. Here is another article, which I am sure you will not read. But that's ok. You can stay in the bat shit crazy con web sites, who will lie to you in the way you like, telling you there are no companies with monopoly power. But here is some truth for those who appreciate truth (cover your eyes, rabbi):

This is just an article about a couple of companies, Boeing and Comcast, who are examples.

So in a couple minutes I answered your simple questions. Yet in many, many months, you can still not provide a country that has a successful libertarian based economy. Funny, eh, rabbi. Cmon, me boy, you can always use that man made island that libertarians are constructing since they can not find one either.
