Cut spending ? Fix tax code ?

I'm sure many of us would like to try "philosopher kings" running government.

We might just get that. After democracy is completely gone, we will be lucky to get a benevolent dictator.

which is why the founders set it up so that the senators were chosen by state legislatures not direct vote.

Some common sense is universally held. Probably more than we give each other credit for. :)

Has there been many that were benevolent other than a few who were born into their rule? I think most are ruthless because that is what it takes to get to their position.
 
Quote from bigarrow:

I guess you don't know how the rating system works here. The righties do all the star voting and they vote based on who starts a thread not the thread content. If futurecurrents posts an article, no matter what the article says, even if it is intelligent and informative his thread will get a bunch of one star votes. But to keep it real, why can't congress and president solve simple common sense problesm, seems they turn every issue into such a complex mess there is no solution.

Do you need a tissue for the "star voting" ineptitude of leftists?:D :D
 
Quote from Ricter:

There are loopholes, and there are incentives.1) Incentives steer, which is a proper role for government. No argument on loopholes from me, they are a tool of power, which is a product of money, which is a product of power.

1) No it's not the role of govt "to steer" as a "product of power".

I find both you and these concepts LOATHSOME at BEST.


how about minding you own fucking business

It's quite telling that the commie dog hates loopholes, but loves "incentives". I'm sure it fits his idealogy of taking the power from the private sector and consolidating into the hands of career bureaucrats and central planners.

Of course he completely overlooks the fact that these very same "incentives" are nothing more than a breeding ground for the very same sort of "crony capitalism" that he and his ilk were crying about a few years ago. Once it becomes a "cause" that these useful idiots can agree with, they are all on board.
