OK John. Thank You for making a difference with your internet rant. If we all did that it would be a better place.
No prob Chris, glad to help and continue to beat the drum on one of the biggest things that affect my kid and your kids that most politicians of both stripes quickly change the subject or ignore hoping all will go away.

In the complex and highly populated market of today in which barter is not feasible, the elimination of personally accumulated currency as both a medium of exchange and as well the means of building wealth in order to acquire more wealth, would only leave some government invented and controlled medium as the way to exchange labor, or even existence, for goods and necessities.

I sarcastically proposed such a system in a previous thread in which a government issued "insurance" card could be used to "buy" anything the market offered. The government would set the requirements needed to get the card. In such a way the entire market would be government controlled, and everybody would have the equal economic outcome that Socialists want.
When you look out a few orders of affect, what else can it be? And by accident or by design?

I saw something interesting lately and had to chuckle, how many more Democrats choose government as the career path.
