Did you know that without subsidies farmers would actually lose money on corn?
Yes. That is a big problem.
I find it interesting that you're willing to ascribe borderline sociopathy to people, but believe that ailment is suddenly lifted when they enter public service.
I don't believe that exactly, I just don't believe the free market will do any different than it already has, namely setting the rivers ablaze (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuyahoga_River).
"we didn't lock up enough pot users in jail",
You lost me there.
we "didn't regulate enough".
Well, what do you suggest to stop the damage, cause I do not see the free market doing it worldwide, quite the opposite. "we didn't self-regulate enough".
I forgot that property rights don't exist
How does property rights help the fracking problem? Who is going to enforce those rights when a big company wants to foul your water? Not the free market, that's clear enough.
Nigeria is almost a perfect example of why giving a limited few power to dictate over the many is a bad idea
Chevron had a free hand. Look what they did, why didn't they stop themselves, don't they know some of those people owned their land?
