I wanted to respond to this but since ekg locked the thread I couldn't :

You, seem further left than the tweekers, since you totally disagree with the idea of profit centered capitalism, but you don't strike me as a destroy-everything communist either. The problem is, for leftist who hate Capitalism but also hate communism, you don't seem to have anything to be for, you only know what you are against.
the assumptions you make are so egregiously wrong that I always have to go back and re-read where you think you came up with it over and over again.. just so that I can try and find where in the hell you come up with this crap... But I simply can't see what would bring you to make such an error..
So I know what you are against,
but you don't know anything of the sort. You read something and it gets so distorted that what you 'get' out of is way off to the other side of what was meant.. I can't for the life of me understand how or why you do that..
It's not just you, there are plenty of people on the left who are against what we have, but don't seem to have a system that they favor.
I don't believe that at all.. The problem 'lefties' have with capitalism the 'greed' factor.. and that's plainly what Chuck is talking about.. Greed to extreme. Some greed is good in a society, extreme greed to point of tipping the balance towards a few at the detriment of the many is not in any way a good thing. My question is,why do you think it is? Why are you happy with this tilt? You must know that it can't benefit a true capitalistic society because once it tips too far to the extreme percent it winds up destroying itself... because the market isn't 'free' if only a select few are playing without rules
