    It is a mistake to refer to what exists now as "free market" as you did in your article where you point out that the ALEC members want the "free market" to determine labor policy. What "free market" are you talking about? Since when did we have a "free market"? What we have is closer to a corporate controlled and oligarchic controlled market. The amount of abuse, fraud and collusion by the elites makes Adam Smith's fantasy of "free market forces" a joke. Please don't fall into the trap of using the framing that our elites set for us. Call it as it is - "corporate dominated market" or "oligarchic controlled public policy".

    David Koch was the Libertarian Party's vice-presidential candidate in the 1980 presidential election, sharing the party ticket with presidential candidate Ed Clark. The Clark–Koch ticket promised to abolish Social Security, the Federal Reserve Board, welfare,minimum-wage laws, corporate taxes, all price supports and subsidies for agriculture and business, and U.S. Federal agenciesincluding the SEC, EPA, ICC, FTC, OSHA, FBI, CIA, and DOE.The ticket received 921,128 votes, 1% of the total nationwide vote, the Libertarian Party national ticket's best showing as of 2009 in terms of percentage.“Compared to what [the Libertarians had] gotten before,” Charles said, “and where we were as a movement or as a political/ideological point of view, that was pretty remarkable, to get 1 percent of the vote.
  • Reply to: Is Your Underwear Undermining Your Values? What Is Jockey's CEO Doing at a Tea Partiers' Convention and with David Koch?   9 years 4 months ago
    I have to throw out my Jockey underwear anyway. A foul fragrance is bonded into the supersoft micromodal briefs, so strong that it adheres to all other clothing. Since it's bonded into the fabric, it can never be washed out. It has actually made me sick. On the cotton underwear, an equally foul chemical odor is bonded into the fabric. Don't buy Jockey underwear. Maybe this happened when they outsourced the work to Honduras.

    I have now become somewhat familiar with the 4th video by CMP, released today. PP's senior leadership is being outsmarted by a 26-year-old kid with a camera. If they were truly harassed at every turn by pro-lifers, this would NEVER happen. They feel untouchable in blue states as noted in this video. They are dumber than a box of rocks! As a former auditor, I dreamed about interviewing managers like the ones at PP. Given how much they pay these people, it's hysterical.

    Conservative corporations put out the media. Labeling it "liberal" is part of the misinformation. You were trained to tune in to Rush. Liberals aren't affected by simple brainwashing methods. Your heroes created low iq idiots. And you can cash those facts in the bank.
