    Very true, but they are not allowed to fix the game, removing all the risk. There has to be regulation.

    The regulation protects both the capitalist and the worker. Look threw history, every unregulated capitalist society ended with the rich dead in the mud or running for their life. What usually replaced it wasn't much better. These lessons seem to be forgotten easily. I guess greed is just a part of human nature. Having convictions with anything that doesn't align with one's pocket book is also.

    Greed is what makes Capitalism work. Unregulated greed is what kills it.

      That certainly cure all the ills of the monetary system. Trouble is, it will kill the benefits of the monetary system. How many cabbages will you have to barter for the new car and how will the automobile dealer barter them cabbages before they rot.

        I really don't know anything about it. I do think we need some type of change in our system that is more fair for everybody.

          Too much goverrment intervention is what is wrong. Bailouts, subsidies, etc.

          Some regulation in ok. Needs oversight to stop mergers etc and keep game fair.

          But regulation that prohibits market entry or plays favorites is bad.

              Has not history proven the free market system?
              The U.S. is the greatest producer that the world has ever seen. And it is because it is based on freedom, not central planning which only produces poverty.

I wrote freelance stuff fof Dirt Late Model magazine, I was involved with bringing crate lates to the Midwest, I live in Edwardsville, Il, I raced around the St Louis area for a number of years, Ive owned a couple of small businesses, drove a truck OTR for awhile, lived overseas, served my nation in the military and now have a great job doing something I love.

                  And I only have one user name, t.nie, here or anhwhere else. You know what I'm not, Terry Earl, Shoals Indiana?

Like Sean Connery said in some movie or other "losers complain, winners fuk the prom queen." Keep being a sore loser Terry. Or just a loser. Makes no difference to people like me. Im too busy doing stuf to listen to a whiner like you.

                          Because of the Empire's vast extent and long endurance, the institutions and culture of Rome had a profound and lasting influence on the development of language, religion, architecture, philosophy, law, and forms of government in the territory it governed, particularly Europe, and by means of European expansionism throughout the modern world.
