These are all claims you tried to tie to me.
First off, who ever claimed that you commented on Eminent Domain or that every job deserves a high wage or even charitable giving?? You're throwing that out there in another DISHONEST attempt to claim I attributed those to you, which I did not. I commented that the use of Eminent Domain for the benefit of private individuals or corporations, just like forcing higher wagers through legislation, is the equivelant of theft and ought not to be tolerated. Unable to compete with the likes of YOU? Oh please, you're about the most pathetic person on this *entire* board, with hardly a wit about you and no tactic beyond personal attacks in your incredibly small arsenal.
You might want to go back through this and the Wal Mart thread and read your own comments again. You chatter endlessly about forcing businesses to pay higher wages (force how? By means of government legislation, obviously enough, since government is the only legitimate holder of force). Your chatter concerning providing money and services to low-wage people, through government funded programs (where does government get its' money, Bow? They get it from people who WORK and CREATE wealth.) is *precisely* what I mean about stealing from some people to give to others. The point is that social programs created and funded by the government *require* that you take money from those who earn it and give it to those who have not. Where else will the government get the money it plans to give away? You think it's as simple as printing more bills? Are you a FAN of inflation?
Yep, you keep repeating that hyperbole endlessly. What you keep failing to do is explain what in the hell you're talking about. Who is doing this "stealing"? What is the mechanism they use? Who is advocating it? You said you aren't talking about taxes, so what exactly are you talking about?
See above, and this time please PAY ATTENTION.
I believe it was in the Wal Mart thread (correct me if I'm wrong, these many threads are beginning to bleed together at this point...) you made mention to the effect that too much economic freedom lets large corporations lie and cheat their way into more wealth. I don't feel like looking for the posting, but bear with me. My reply was that no, such a system would NOT allow corporations, indeed *anyone* to lie or cheat their way into more profit or anything else.
I'm tired of fielding your nonsense claims, try to get your story straight next time.
