Would you like for your government to regulate prices, profits and wages?

[AntonToo]

It wored well in Venezuela.

It also worked and continues to work well in America and the rest of economically developed world. Where there are certainly specific examples of government regulating some prices, some profits and some wages.

Yes, Nixon's regulation of gas prices was a stunning success.

How is that argument more than cherry picking?

I don't want stupid bureaucrats, whose bosses are corrupt dishonest politicians, elected by special interest groups, telling me how to run my life.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Yes, indeed. I would be shocked if one liberal entered this thread to defend socialism, but you know they all want it.

All th winner countries have socailist aspects to them .

What exactly do you admire about socialism, Timmy?

In the US, socialism bailsout the wealthiest and lets them retain their multimillion dollar bonuses while on means tested corporate welfare, and enables the poor to have steak and lobster on their ebt cards.

How is it possible for a society based on capitalism to regulate "prices, profits and wages"? Are Bernie Sanders people hosting a poll?

we don't have true capitalism; we have a mixed-market economy.

So basically you believe the role of the government which is to do for the people what they can't do for themselves is socialism?

Excluding health insurance which is not heathcare of course.

Non-nutters understand that this not a question of absolutes, this is a question of balance between the engine of free market and framework of government regulation to ensure economy that runs fair, efficient and doesn't drive off the cliff.

HAHA there is always one that doesn't know shit about the facts to put out the talking point propaganda from the chairman.

No . I think gov should work for the benefit of the people . Not for just the benefit of big biz .

I think gov should reign in capitalism, so it doesn't destroy itself . I think gov and biz should work together to improve the lives of Americans.

Hell, I’d settle for a free market capitalist economic system, but we don’t have one of those and never really have had one; by design. We’ve have always had a blended economy to protect the interests of elites from the ravages of the market and to shift that burden onto the working class.

Privatized gains versus socialized losses for the Wall Street bankster class
Internalized profit versus externalized risk and expense for the “job creator” class
Socialism for the aristocracy versus laissez-faire capitalism for the masses

We should form a mob! Occupy, occupy, occupy... oh wait, that's already been done.

That's my point, it's not. A government that did that by definition would be communistic.

The mob was formed by your financial elites, quite successfully as it turns out.

But an econonic system that does is apparently "liberty".

See FDR. I'm not suggesting this approach now because that actually saved capitalism temporarilly. I say we allow our version of "capitalism" to run amok and just let it all play out this time.

We find it so irritating to read the rantings of pathetic little pukeleft scuzzies, shrieking for more and more transfer of wealth by the All-Powerful Central State from decent, clean, moral, hard-working, successful taxpayers to the loathsome parasite underclass elements. Let the blood-sucking, worthless leeches die or get out of our country. America for REAL Americans! Know what we mean?

There has indeed been a redistribution of societal wealth over the past half century, just not in the direction the ill informed are always blathering onward about.

We've always had a blended economy, the trick has always been achieving the proper balance, and we are clearly out of balance here and now; a trajectory that began during the Reagan years, but has been utterly bipartisan in it's furthering.
