Unfettered Capitalism

Liberals love this phrase. Maybe I have a limited vocabulary, but I wasn't really sure what "fettered" meant. So I looked it up:

True free market capitalism fell when Mogadishu fell. Right wingers simply ignore our Commerce Clause.

See post #2.

Why are we losing money with a Commerce Clause, a Government?

No, I really don't need anymore evidence that you haven't the vaguest notion of what you're blabbering about.

Our Constitution is our supreme Law of the Land. Don't be illegal to it.

Any questions?

Yeah. Why do you think the super rich ought to have total unaccountable power over your life?

I don't. Spare me the strawman.

That's what "unfettered capitalism" is. An amoral system where the super rich are untouchable by the same system of laws that can easily cost you everything.

That's capitalism which is definitely "fettered", Skeezix.

All capitalism has to offer is boom and bust.

All you have to offer is inane and illiterate gibberish.

In right wing fantasy, any thing you can dream can be true.

Unfettered Capitalism Leads to Corruption.

 

[Tom Paine 1949]

I thought your linked article about capitalism was super:

Unfettered Capitalism Leads to Corruption

Charles Hayes: At its best, capitalism dramatically improves lives; at its worst, unchecked greed ravages the environment, oppresses individuals, and destroys culture. Capitalism is analogous to radiation. Used carefully, it can produce miraculous results, while overuse kills.

Thanks for that, georgephillip.

The great enemy to capitalism are capitalists. Let me explain and look no further than our so called beloved corporations sucking Chicom cock in order to have their sizeable market and cheap slave like labor that our so called virtual signaling cocksucking hypocritical leftists claim to care for the poor and downtrodden.



Happen to agree with that and I encourage others to watch. The fact is greed is a grievous sin too and we see how greed on the part of these CEOs of Disney, cnn, msnbc, Nike, Microsoft etc etc Walmart etc etc has sold out. Sold out country in order to maximize profit MARGINS. Capitalist windfall profits using a socialist system. Now Chicom has us by the balls as a result of their treachery.

We all get what we deserve.

It's called President GW and caused a world wide depression.

It really was the combination of Clinton and W who caused the great recession. It was Clinton's policies that were continued through W until the bubble burst

The bottom line is that, as always, both parties agreed the US economy needed a party and looked the other way.

We have a Commerce Clause, a Congress, and a Central Bank; why does the right wing only know how to lose money under Capitalism with a Commerce Clause in their Constitution for Government?

Refusing to have a battle of wits with a totally unarmed person isn't conceding anything, super-dullard.

Unfettered means unrestrained or unlimited. Clearly that is not what capitalism is in this country, did you think otherwise?

I just wanted to provide a visual of what liberals want: fettered capitalism. People in chains.

How odd that progressive liberals do not realize the alternatives to capitalism are far more restrictive. Capitalism is all about choice more than anything else, and any other economic model is more about govt's choice rather than your own. In capitalism you get to decide what you will buy among many options and how much you pay for it. Every other system has much fewer options and directly or indirectly the govt decides how much you pay.

Yeah! Hell Yeah! Just like when those right wing assholes forced the general public to engage in commerce via mandatory health care purchasing.

 

[Mac1958]

Our lousy application of capitalism is the primary reason the socialists have had so much success getting people's ears lately.

Sadly, many don't understand that proper controls are a critical component of capitalism, and not some evil, destructive force.

The Meltdown should have taught them this, but they're getting their financial "education" and "information" from all the wrong voices.

I thought that was Obama and those left wing assholes that tried to mandate health care insurance.


There seems to be some confusion over what unfettered means. It means unrestrained or unlimited. Capitalism in the 1800s was basically unrestrained, i.e., uncontrolled and as a result we had corruption and enormous abuse of the working people. Towards the end of that century, gov't started to finally institute some controls to preclude the unfair business practices and employee abuses, with some success. Today, capitalism is no longer unfettered, we do have some governance over it; some say not enough or ineffective or inefficient, and the fight goes on.

The "corruption" was all in the government. Any "abuse" of working people was a result of the fact that employers weren't held liable for workplace injuries. The American standard of living grew by leaps and bounds during the period 1865 - 1929. After that, it started swirling down the sewer.
