an example of why unfettered markets dont work

Oh that's right, because crime would disappear under a Democrat. I don't care who is in charge, there are crooked people in this world that are quite capable of evading the law. We can no more monitor every financial transaction than we can listen into every phone call or keep a watch on every street corner. There really is not any need to because though there are dishonest people most are at least decent people. Trying to monitor everything would just create information overload anyway.

Go after the crooks and make sure they are brought to justice.

First you have to have laws to break huh?

That is why regulations are needed and NO unfettered market will ever work in favor of democracy
 
If you think that free market means no laws then you are terribly confused. Without laws protecting the rights of individuals a free market is not possible.

If the charges are true the banks committed acts of fraud. You don't need to define every possible way a person might mislead an investor/customer/whatever to criminalize fraud.

Once again the racist left brings up pigmenation. As if that is why people are upset.

Truly amazing how many closet racists there are on the left. Always talking about what color skin someone has. Clearly that is all they care about.

It's all they have, to feed their faux-outrage.
This is nothing more then their latest "rant-du-jour"; because they don't dare say that Obama has any connection to this crap, otherwise they might look like their blaming a BLACK MAN.
What they can't seem to accept is that this has nothing to do with the President being BLACK; except for the fact that they want it to be about a BLACK MAN.

It's like the Church calling "heretic" back in the day. It's just a way to attempt to stop people from talking about things they don't want them to talk about. If you criticize any of his policy, there you will find somebody attempting to call you a racist.

It's like Galileo, pointing out the truth and being labeled "heretic"...

Show me anybody criticizing the President's policy, and nearby you'll find somebody calling them a racist.

In the end, what that practice will do, is make it so that when actual racism is around nobody will be willing to listen to those calling out "racist"...

I am all on board with the fact there is a major problem at the SEC, I was simply letting Desh know that it is absurd to suggest that everyone at the SEC was TOLD not to do their jobs and that they were ALL watching porn.

Reminds me of the BS where supposedly the Jews were told not to go to work, in the Twin Towers, on 09/11. :palm:

I still think it was cyber terror.

I think if it was done for gain it would have been a little more artful.

It all was too obviously tanked in too short a time.

I think we better be on the lookout for electric grid attacks and the like.

That you think should be considered cyber terror on everyone who has to read your insane meanderings.

Jesus Frickin' Christ on a cracker!
 
So the democratic party is the party that has been championing deregulation for decades?

The republican party is the party of regulation?

I suppose you think the libertarian party is the party Mega regulation then?


How I wish you cons would be honest for just one damned second.


The right is the side that is always seeking deregultion.

The left is the side that has always sought to construct laws and regulations on our markets.


I wouldnt mind that you guys live in these fantasy lands if you would then actually stick to making the republican and the libertarian parties actually desire and work toward sound and effective regulations on our markets instead of trying to kill anything that makes sense and would temper the idiocy for a quick buck that always happens when you get your way and the market is freed up to fuck us yet once again.
 
The original rednecks were democrats, miners fighting for the right to unionize in appalachia. Unions were necessary in this instance of fascist oppression by the mining companies. Some of you neocon/libertarian corporate loving robots are just ignorant of labor history, and you have forgotten the sacrifices made by others to even allow the formation of an american middle class.


of course the new left is on board with the corporate fascist agenda and believe white people should be ground into bone dust at the bottom of mine shafts.

It's funny we have to continue to post the same facts over and over.

Right side = Massive new regulations Sarbanes-Oxley

Left side = repeal of Glass Steagal; deregulation of airlines and trucking

Why don't you be honest Desh and look at the actions taken and not just rhetoric.
 
The funny part Desh is your attempted argument is not hard to make.

If you asked which party is more likely to support deregulation you can strongly argue the Republicans.

If you asked which party if more likely to support stricter regulations you can strongly argue the Democrats.

But when you try to argue which party ALWAYS does one or the other and the facts clearly show otherwise it's a losing argument no matter how many times you post it.

Well, since Jimmy Carter began it back in the late 70's and Clinton continued it in the late 90's.... yes, that would be deregulation for Dems for decades.

The republican party is the party of regulation?

I wouldn't go that far, but they did enact the largest piece of regulation in the past 20 years with Sarbanes Oxley.

I suppose you think the libertarian party is the party Mega regulation then?

No, unlike you, most sane people understand the libertarian position is to have a smaller government with regulations in place to protect the consumer. Libertarians do NOT want a market with no regulations as some idiots on the left continue to try and project.

Very amusing coming from you. The one who refuses to acknowledge any of the FACTS that happen to go against her preconceived notion of what a particular party ALWAYS does.

The right is the side that is always seeking deregultion.

Wow. Right after whining about honesty.... you lie.

Sarbanes Oxley. Explain that desh.

The left is the side that has always sought to construct laws and regulations on our markets.

and ANOTHER LIE. Glass Steagall, airline industry, trucking industry. Explain those Desh.


I wouldnt mind that you guys live in these fantasy lands if you would then actually stick to making the republican and the libertarian parties actually desire and work toward sound and effective regulations on our markets instead of trying to kill anything that makes sense and would temper the idiocy for a quick buck that always happens when you get your way and the market is freed up to fuck us yet once again.
