As apposed to the current situation of servitude to the federal government which is owned by giant corporations. A government which conducts illegal activities on every level, even using drones for murder in foreign countries.
The current government has effectively enslaved the population.

Pretty damn good. Not only are they less expensive then FED EX or UPS but I can get Saturday delivery without paying a fortune. Priority mail is more efficient and a better value for the consumer than anything the two private companies offer.

Where? I have never heard of any and I find that Seattle public libraries are about as good as it can get.

I think this highlights the biggest failure of the three examples. Riots, rights violations, and abysmal conditions.

On behalf of the elite libertarians, not to forget.

^kind of mixed up aren't ya, can't see the forest cuz the trees are in the way?
You must be able see the forest and the trees simultaneously. Otherwise you cant possibly be able differentiate between a Libertarian and Shia fanatic or anything else for that matter.
Greedy scum are running the governments around the planet, and it's pretty safe to say most are not Libertarians.

Looks like you are the one who is mixed up as he was responding to your comment about the US federal government.

As usual your head is up your ass Earl.

Perhaps, but any thinking individual can see how big government is at the service of mega corporate interests. Who in turn poison the general population with neurotoxins like MSG an Aspartame. They also control the media with their massive infusions of advertizing money.
There's an interesting interview with Rod Serling about how advertisers would try to manipulate the content of his shows according to their commercial interests, and that was back in the 60's. His freedom of expression was constrained by big corporate design. so pretty much everything we see and hear is engineered to make you an obedient little consumer.
Face it snubby you are simply another tool of corporate greed.

The Waltons own a very large corporation, each of them owns a personal fortune of $20 billion+. They would profit very much if the ideas of Libertarianism were implemented further. Would their 2 million+ employees with an average income of less than $20,000 per year and no health insurance?
The Koch Brothers with similar possessions own a mega corporation, and the government, and the media do their bidding. They actually established Libertarianism as a major movement in the US, and the Tea Party.
So how comes you adhere to an ideology in the service of corporate creed?

Is there another way than to take the government back from the corporations, bank and media, and use it to tame the corporations?

I agree totally with everything you're saying there Rainfall.

Just a quick question. Do they have Walmart in Russia and do Russian retail workers make $300/month yet?

Walmart pulled out of Russia. Can't say why. It also pulled out of Germany, mostly because it thought it can challenge the rules of fair employment as set up by the unions. It was also too expensive for the market in Germany, and sub-standard quality.

Well, that's Made in China for ya.

How much do Russian retail workers make?

No shit. I have been saying this all along. Refer to the OWS thread to better understand my views. You are new to this bandwagon. I have been preaching this for years.

I have been fighting the corporapist oligarchy from day one. You have obviously not read many of my posts.

The key point here is you identify with the right wing, the tea party and ultimately the republican party. Your posts over history reinforce that point. Those affiliations align you with such corporapists like the Kock brothers, Rupert Murdoch etc etc...

I think it is clear that you are the corporapist lackey. Feel free to insert head in ass now..

I agree the test is silly, but, shit! This doesn't mean I'm not the tree hugger I always thought I was, does it?
16-30 points: You are a soft-core libertarian. With effort, you may harden and become pure.

How about the telecommunication industry too? Producers are more efficient since they are profit motivated.

Private Libraries spring up all over the US mostly in CA as they are more receptive to their clients needs.

Prisons.

Education

The list of benefits of Privatization is endless.

There is only one benefit of privatization and it never benefits the many. It's all about the profits for a few. Just another tool to destroy the middle class.

Bsnub ... I'd green ya but I'm out of bullets.

Well, to cite another example, why is the US Military sub-contracting out to XE, Greywolf etc some of those "chores" if it isn't cheaper and more efficient?

Duh, so their friends, sponsors, and future employers can get rich.

Rubbish...

Doubtful.

Greywolf and associated 'organizations' can respond faster, cheaper than mobilizing some 'squad' of US Military. And, the big plus is deniability in this ever litigious world we live in.

That's the truth.

Green ya if I could.
