~sigh~ Enough. Save your unsupported observations and your fucking breath. Your contributions and the contributions of other libertarians in this thread amount to little more than endlessly bleating that (in the opinion of the greedy), greed couldn't possibly have led to financial calamities, and that impediments to greed like democratically elected governments and legislated, popular laws are to blame for financial calamities....the disasters that history has shown repeatedly arise only when those same laws are weakened. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Economic_disasters_in_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Economic_disasters_in_...

I think libertarians are terribly mistaken. > the disasters that history has shown repeatedly arise only when those same laws are weakened That's right. When "deregulation" actually means something like "let's allow private ownership and operation of a coropration that has a government-granted regulatory monopoly," it is a total disaster. You have to get rid of coersion from the market completely for it to function as a market. So I agree with you---a mixed economy is complete and utter crap.
