Has America become an oligarchy?

Sorry I didnt realise that was the rule Steve.

Did I accuse you of a crime? Did I accuse you of anything? I asked you if you had a solution. I disagree with you, just as I disagree with a lot of people. Do you think because I disagree that I'm putting you down? For all I know you're right. I don't have any answers. I only argued against certain things you said, specific things, which I think are wrong.

On the other hand:

Would you care to enlighten me as how you think capitalsim works then? Specifically how maximum profit is achieved?

Was that not you doing to Tater exactly what you accuse me of doing to you?

I wasn't having a go at people who borrow money (but rather those who lend it), nor was I taking a pop at mobile network providers.
that was purley your own interpretation steve.

I never said you were. You came up with the examples, and I said that in my opinion they weren't valid. You then said I missed the point. What was the point, then?

Actually I was trying to illustrate that Skybirds artical is maybe worth its salt, when everyone else is being so bloody dismissive of it.

Okay, so that was your point. That leads you to:

But I guess so long as you all have running water and continue to live better than folks in 1920, everythings just peachy for you guys?

So, while saying I accused you of a crime, your actual arguing style is to dismiss our arguments with what, hiding our heads in the sand?

Sorry for giving a rats-ass

And finally disagreeing with you leads to a mocking false apology? What did anyone say to you to make you want to reply like that? Tater disagrees with you. Is that a crime? Neither he nor I accused you of anything, yet you accuse us of doing so. I will apologize for coming on strong, but dumping on people who disagree with you is a strange way of conducting an argument.
