And yet, you can't create 14 trillion for yourself out of thin area. You can't buy off politicians to override food safety regulations. This position is pure textbook. Reality says government is always owned by and for the wealthy.

Neither can you. Talented, hard-working people deserve fabulous rewards. They don't deserve to run the country or the economy. That's all I'm saying. And be careful saying "always". Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Government in scandinavian countries is extremely egalitarian and hardly owned by the wealthy. Maybe if we work hard at making our culture better some day we can be like them.

I mean, do you not understand basic supply and demand? Even the Marxist propaganda centers we call colleges today teach microeconomics.

Tell me more about supply and demand and the garbage science you call microeconomics. You sound like an undergrad physics student telling me how their sphere shaped rigid-body cows behave on a frictionless incline with no wind resistance. Tell me about how there's a linear supply demand curve meant to represent human behavior and its endless variables, and how it controls and isolates causality for exactly
none of them, nor does it account properly for volunteerism, non-profits, irrational behavior, special interests, imperfect competition, or any number of human complexities.
Every branch has a dismal track record predicting economic events. None of their models truly reflect reality, unless they are so winnowed and limited as to be useless. And this after you spend the thread bashing academia.
I'm saying this out of love for the potential economics has, that maybe some day it can stop being dogmatic witchcraft and start using the scientific method.
