Let me reiterate though: I beleive that a free market, with as little government intervention as possible, is best. It's just that I see a point of diminishing returns for the "common man." Again, where that point is, I do not know. |

I'm aware of the argument. I disagree. Ask a Wal-Mart employee where the obsession with cheap goods has gotten us. It's created a standard of non-living wages for a huge section of the American workforce. They can't even afford the "cheap" goods. All the cheap goods market has done is enable the Chinese to buy a whole hell of a lot of oil, increasing costs for us across the board. |
