Tell me mnemeh1, is there just an automatic response that whenever a socialist posts anything you have to immediately jump into corporate apologist mode?
Your response to my post was a textbook example of the informal logical fallacy of the straw man argument. You have failed to negate the thesis of my argument and lowered the discourse. Well done mate!
I do still wish you luck though in your quest for an Anarcho-Libertarian utopia. So long as nobody gets hurt making it, and it does not result in war, build your nation! Examples speak far louder than words, and as of right now there is no example of the world you want to live in to hold up against the examples that I could show for for the one I want to. So I am hoping you get your country, really I am.

You tried to use a book written by a socialist that is nothing but a bunch of lies to make your point.
YOU are the corporate apologist.
YOU are refusing to acknowledge that the meat packing industry lobbied heavily for the regulations to drive their smaller competitors out of the market.

I can't leave the US legally or else I would be in violation of probation. The system has me by my nuts right now and all I can do is be a good sheep or go to jail. I am also suppose to work full time but I can't work outside the state of Florida or take a job on a boat, lost my security clearance so I can exactly work on avionics anywhere. I do believe the US has become a police state.
I'm sure leaving out the reason you are on probation will make people not agree with you.
I'm sure you did something that deserves punishment

Sure. Force a 'brain drain'. Smart.
But... Go where? Most countries that can maintain a standard of living that the educated would require are just as likely to profit from 'debt and taxes'. Same system.

"The people" supported cartelizing agriculture because they were duped into it by lies and deceit. - Government lies and deceit.
As with all government regulations, they never act to benefit the people, they always act to benefit the existing big market players.
Take our criminal healthcare bill - over two thousand of pages of legalize.
Do you think Nancy Pelosi wrote that bill?
Do you think Barney Frank wrote that bill?
Who do you think wrote that bible of regulations?
Do you think our glorious leaders in DC had "the people's" best interest in mind when they put their names on that bit of industry written garbage?
