Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Hey Kobe, what do you call it when the government and Big business team up...

in order to push policies that get rid of competition for the companies and silences critics of the government?

    I call it the consequences of the action of baby boomers. The dominant voting bloc for years that allowed and encouraged things like citizens united, creating an oligarchy.

    Good Christ. Have ever cracked an Econ book not written by Engels or Marx?

    I do have a tangent question. You’re against citizens United, but you didn’t comment on Union political contributions. I assume you have no issue there?


    Also, to answer the original question for you, that is fascism defined. And you voted for it.

    I think elections should be publicly funded with no outside money allowed. Within our current system, I view taking money from unions as a better option.
