    Deontological ethics or deontology is the normative ethical position that judges the morality of an action based on the action's adherence to a rule or rules.[1] It is sometimes described as "duty" or "obligation" or "rule"-based ethics, because rules "bind you to your duty."[2] Deontological ethics is commonly contrasted to consequentialism[3] and virtue ethics. Deontological ethics is also contrasted to pragmatic ethics. In this terminology action is more important than the consequences.

    Grundle, I know we disagree on this, but I'm of the belief that more money sloshing around in the economy is good for everyone. Even paying useless fucks like me a government salary is good because I spend most of it and the money continues to slosh around the economy - paying other useless fucks at the liquor stores and massage parlors.

    I hear ya. The sloshing in gubment bucket is a problem because that bucket has a lot of handles and a lot of holes.

    Spending goes down as income rises, and Laffer has been disproven. Also, the structures established by government are notoriously difficult to dismantle - part of the reason why every tax-cutting Republican administration has left ruinous deficits in their wake at the national level, and Brownback is about to crash Kansas into the fucking mountain.

    That is the very crux of it. They're all statists. Nothing ever goes away.

    This thread taught me that Grundle is smarter than he lets on, and I am quite dumb.

    Thanks for putting in a definition where I only understood half the words. I'm going back to Mom's basement to sulk. Might look at porn as well.

    Moody's? isn't that the ratings service that would take pooled mortgage loans originated on 100% LTV, made to borrowers with no job, no assets and a Sears Credit Card that's 2 years old with a $1,000 limit... and rated them AAA so they could be purchased by pension funds and as legal reserves by Insurance companies??

    Laffer has been disproven? This should be good.
