then why don't you look at breaking up the federal govt the same way? giving more power to the states instead of the central authority?




As I told you before, I am not only FOR more decentralizing of power away from the Federal Government, I'm for a regional breakup of America into 4-5 regions giving the federal government the sole responsibility of national security and nothing else.

Each Region would then pursue goals of energy, food, manufacturing and employment INDEPENDENCE so the entire country would become more resilient, diversified and resistant to the damage of globalization.




well before that would even be a possibility, it would probably be a good idea to give power back to the individual states so they would have the opportunity to form the "regional" blocks you envision, this would mean doing away with many federal agencies that you hold near and dear to your heart, NEA, FDA, OSHA, EPA, just to name a few

I didn't realize so many on the 'left' were so easily butthurt by non-existent crap. Fits right in with the micro-aggression crowd.

Keep trying. You still haven't found me calling him a moocher. I can save you the trouble. You won't, which is why I found the whole 'I can't get it up until I think I make more money than you' crap so thoroughly amusing. One guys butthurt and lack of reading comprehension. :lmafo:

I'm embarrassed for you.

That you and Falcon resorted to such foolishness should surprise me, yet somehow it doesn't.

Some states claim and act on their power a lot more than others ... California, Texas and Alaska, for example.  Others cry and complain.  And, yes, a movement to reduce Federal Taxation and move it more to the states, I think would be positive.

Not sure where you can identify I'm a fan of all the govt agencies you say are "near and dear to my heart" ... did I post that somewhere? 

Regulations to protect property, air, water, soil, public safety and to prevent over exploitation of the poor by the wealth classes are essential in a civilized society ... the question is how much?

Keep in mind, much of what you call "regulation" is actually written and pushed by the largest corporations as a disguise to limit competition, and increase barriers to entry of markets they monopolize.  The tax code is a great example of this.  Half of it, at least, has been written by corporations.

Why not take a shot at a substantive post rather than just parachuting in and hurling insults, or, better yet, take your sexual rants to a thread more suited for that?

this, a great example on the local level is the Uber company and that other one that lets homeowners rent out extra rooms, the biggest opposition to these companies is the cab UNIONS and the hotel owners, and I don't think its any coicidence the biggest pushback against them are in liberal bastions such as NYC and San Francisco...

And, yet, 90% of all the disruptive technologies and companies come from liberal states ... at least.  That's why the opposition originates there, because that's where it comes from originally.  Also, virtually all the big and innovative cities tend to be more liberal in thinking, generally because of the influence of large universities that are the under pinning of innovation and disruptive technologies ... Silicon Valley / San Francisco being the epicenter.

Entrenched power always resists disruption.  It has nothing to do with liberal or conservative.  It's human nature.  The  more established one becomes with deeper roots, the more conservative they tend to be.  Some day, UBER will be the one resisting an upstart going after their market share and using their superior resources and legal power to do it.  Big banks resist small banks, big car companies resist small upstarts and big drug companies resist competition too.  That's the #1 problem with predatory capitalism and what Adam Smith identified and wrote about AT LENGTH when he introduced the world to what became known as "free market capitalism" that was conceived to keep as much power with LABOR and share more and more of the profits with LABOR and take the power away from the ownership classes.

true, but its the govt doing the bidding of big business, liberal govt in these cases, thats why its so important to provide people with the freedom to do startups, not let the govt class dictate for their interests and regulate them out of existence

Liberal govt, is, generally speaking more friendly to upstarts, innovation and disruption.  A good example of this is Texas.  The most liberal city (large) in Texas is Austin ... by a pretty wide margin.  Austin just  happens to be where the innovative tech sector in Texas is centered.  Why?  It has to do with the universities there and a number of other factors.  Innovative universities nearly always thrive in a more liberal climate ... this attracts new thinking, investment and ultimately, breakthroughs.

90% of the real innovation in terms of startups in America come from California, Mass, NYC and Austin ... Just saying.

You can make any point if you look hard enough, but if we look at States (deep red states) where Conservative Leadership has thrived for a long time like Alabama, Miss, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, etc. ... You will have a very hard time finding even one really great and innovative and disruptive successful company that has started there in the last 15 years. 

California and Mass alone have hundreds if not thousands of them.

LOL ... nothing could be further from the truth.  I love Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and spend a lot of time there.  Great mountain biking, skiing, hiking, lakes, mountains, rivers, camping ... not much of a thriving cultural scene, but so what.  Some great hit or miss music though.  The nature is spectacular.  I live in Central Oregon, bud ... not exactly a thriving liberal hot spot ...

These conservative spots can't even attract innovation, let alone shut it down.  It generally speaking takes liberal research universities to turn a location into a hot spot for upstarts and innovation.

Cities like Boston and San Francisco have been established business centers for hundreds of years, it really has nothing to do with red or blue states, this argument makes no sense.

So has Richmond, Helena, St. Louis, Atlanta, Montgomery, Jackson, Kansas City ...

With the possible exception of Atlanta, which  many consider fairly liberal, there's minimal innovation and it's hard to identify a single great american company known for technology and innovation from these cities that certainly had a long time to get it going. 

Why did San Francisco and Silicon Valley become such a hotspot?  Simple.  Great liberal universities.

Imagine for a moment if 40 years ago, American companies, including Microsoft, Allergen, Google, Apple, Facebook, Tesla, Netflix, Priceline, Uber, Oracle, Amgen, Twitter, HP, Adobe, Amazon, Celgene, Yahoo, Ebay, Electronic Arts, Expedia, Gilead, Intel, Qualcomm and many others from liberal hot spots had ...

NEVER HAPPENED? And, actually happened in OTHER COUNTRIES?

What would America be like today?  How different would our country be without these huge magnets for revenues, jobs, innovation and competition that started in extremely liberal cities, for the most part?

Liberal hotspots, that birth great innovative companies have been powering America for decades ...


--------------------
"The universe is endless, limitless and infinite.  Any effort to define it's boundaries is an attempt to overcome ignorance.  We are physical, mental and spiritual beings ... there is no beginning and there is no end.  There is only memory.  Our repeated loss of memory experiences create the illusion of beginnings and ends.  Immortality is the ability to retain full memory through all consciousness transformations.  Loss of memory is man's greatest curse and, in very real terms, death."

-- Ancient Taoist Master

[/Sen. Bernie Sanders, the self-described democratic socialist currently running for the Democratic presidential nomination, says he has "serious problems" with car service company Uber because it's "unregulated."[/ quote]

It's funny that the liberals come up with all these great ideas, and then vote for idiots to regulate them out of existence, LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER
