Vehicle Production/Sale: Nationalized
Drug and Medical Equipment Production: Nationalized
Mineral production: Nationalized
Wood production: Nationalized

There is no reason to have any private companies meddling in these industries.

Telecommunications: Executives lined up against wall and shot. Families executed by lethal injection. Companies nationalized and control given to elected officials with annual popular elections.

The only industries that need shouldn't be private are ones that produce products that dont have a natural Supply/Demand curve.

And even then, regulation usually suffices.

See Healthcare. If you're dying and need care then a change in the price won't change your demand for that care. $1000, $10,000, $100,000? You'll pay anything to live.

Leaving that in the hands of the 'Magic Market' leads to disaster.

See the U.S.

Can someone give me one good reason we should prefer privatization.

1. 99% of private companies are run by corrupt individuals.
2. 99% of private companies care more about $$$ than people.

Remember if a CEO could increase his profits by a million bucks at the cost of your life he would.

To your first point, do you pretend the government is not hopelessly corrupt?
To your second point, do you pretend the government does not squander the money of citizens needlessly, while not truly caring about people?

I am an American, I shouldn't have to leave my country to find a better place. I should strive to make the U.S better.

And I, as with anyone else here, can say the exact same line. We differ in our definitions of what is better.

This statement unequivocally proves your ignorance, and why you have surpassed Anarcist420 in the idiot poster awards. Your lies, and distortions to bolster your views are disgusting, and while you call yourself "American", you definitely belong somewhere like China.


99% of the government is run by corrupt individuals
99% of the government care more about power over the people than the people

See how easy it is just to make up bullshit. Try again.
Remember, if a politician could increase his power at the cost of your life he would.

Well, when you can't produce, or compete, the next best thing is to bring the "competition" down, it's just "fair" that way.

If we left the USA's economy to corporate ass kissing crackpot utopian free market conservatives it would be a China anyhow -what's the difference?

As opposed to your corporate ass kissing, crackpot utopian nanny state liberals? Why are you so afraid of people succeeding? Does it make you realize the utter failure that you are?

No shit sherlock. What you seem to be so wrapped up in your voodoo ideas to get is the simple fact that at least a politician is accountable if they are shown to be corrupt. Try letting your grievances be known to a CEO. You will be escorted out by security. When you conservatives have a better answer to the problem then some free market nonsense then feel free to contribute.

Your 99% exaggeration of corruption just shows how patheticlly idealogically brainwashed you are to make such asinine statements so sweeping.

Another little mouse squeaking at the top your lungs in support of the fat cats.

There used to be Government oversight (Regulation) so these Industries couldn't go willy nilly like they have done.

Totally free has proven not to work and will be the downfall of the country as we are witnessing.

Highly motivated people should be rewarded. This does not mean they should be allowed to use this to exploit society.

You think in such silly narrow terms like a child.

We need a good Purge. No one could kill like that good old Maor except for the OP maybe.

Everyone becomes a slave to the state so he doesn't have to move to join the Party in China. D:

CEO's don't make policy that effects the whole country.

Pull your panties out of your ass Sally, and try reading the thread, in case you didn't notice, that was a sarcastic reply to the OP.

Coming from you that really doesn't mean anything.
