Wage and price controls are commonplace in Europe and the standard of
living did not drop, goods and services did not became hard to get, and
unemployment did not rise.


Please show that profits are obscene. Don't quote dollars,
quote percentage of operating expenses. (snip)


I'm not going to quote anything, Dee. I gave my personal opinion. While
you're certainly free to agree or disagree with that, there is no
requirement whatsoever to prove an opinion. If, on the other hand, you think
my opinion is that important, you're certainly free to prove it's wrong.


In addition, you have left out the most workable option. That
is to work toward a world economy that enjoys a comparable
standard to ours. (snip)


You honestly think that is a workable option? It will take many decades,
perhaps longer, to accomplish that. What happens to everyone else in the
meantime?

That's true Dee. I gave him my opinion, *with* the reasons behind it...such
as an overwhelming public opinion that there are jobs our immigrant
population will do before the average American...and he chose to ignore
those facts also...

I didn't ignore your opinions, Kim. I read and responded to them for a
solid week. Instead, what I did was disagree with almost every one of those
opinions (after all, they were simply wrong). As for facts, I saw very
little of that from you.

Anyway, since you keep bringing up my name in your conversations with
others, it's clear you cannot accept the notion that someone might actually
disagree with you. Try to get over it and move on, Kim. Your ongoing
attempts to find solace from others now is truly not very becoming.
