    Capitalism is going to try to trick people out of their money. Nothing is going to stop that. Government can and does try to reduce it. We need more of that.

    A smarter nation is a greater nation.
    Then you should be happy with the current U. S. system since we have all those consumer protection agencies. If they are not effective having more of them doesn't help anything.

    Do you think the businesses in socialist nations do not try to get just as much money from the customers in any way possible? Greed and love of money is not less under capitalism or socialism.

    I don't think you want socialism, you just want more government regulation.

    Republicans and Democrats like Bernie Sanders.

    The function I envision which would alert consumers to rip-offs would not be regulatory.

    Regulation is a double-edged sword. Some of it is good, and a lot of it has been corrupted to help the rip-offs.

    We need less of the bad regulation; and more of the good.

    Please explain that to residents of Hong Kong. They don't seem to understand how good they have it.

    Are you saying that China is not doing great?

    Are you saying that every indication shows they will surpass us as the world's leading economy?

    Or are you trying to divert?

    I'm agreeing with you. Tell the residents of Hong Kong how much better the rest of China is doing.
    Have you ever visited China? I have. their standard of living sucks. But they have a great economy.

    China is doing great, because China is doing great.

    The poor morons of the American right want to pretend otherwise.


    trump has stopped them.
    Trump is a fucking moron...and the only people who continue to support him are morons also.

    My original comment was, "China is doing very well...and it has been socialistic since 1950. It will almost certainly surpass the US as a world economic power within a decade or two."

    So you agree with me.

    Ya gotta learn how to insult someone with a bit of class, Yakuda. Your insults sound like they are coming from a petulant pre-adolescent boy...and engender pity rather than anger.

    Step up your game.

    The highest quality political discussions are about substance, the merit of each argument being the focus.

    When it comes down to trading insults then that's just voices showing no respect for one another. The only thing being accomplished in such discussions is venting emotion.

    Venting emotion is important to a lot of people.

    Maybe if they go online and unload their frustrations on some unseen person somewhere who can't physically attack them or even cast a stern glare, then they might have a better chance of getting along with the people they do encounter in their normal lives.

    Unfortunately this function poisons a good academic political discussion.
