Oil Companies Refusing to Up Production?

So, you agree they should not exist?

So what if there is an understanding.

No. What would give the dollar it’s value? Starting to get it?

What the hell are you talking about?

Why don’t you present your economic knowledge, for the benefit of us dopes, in one post instead of in one-line post after one-line post in the form of some kind of riddle or something?

Edit: Are you trying say that taxes pay for nothing, but do give the dollar value? How does that work?

I will go slow for you. If there were no such thing as taxes what would give our dollar value? The fact that taxes exist and they can only be paid in the U.S. dollar, not Bitcoin, gold or anything else makes people need the currency. If you don’t pay your taxes then tell me from your jail cell what happens?

No. I’m saying your starry eyed suggestion is fucking stupid and immoral.

And furthermore, driven by chinese government/ corporations to feed a communist empire that doesnt mind wholesale murder of uncooperative peoples.

And Federal taxes pay for nothing. State and local taxes are a different beast.

Goodness. You’re dumber than I remember. How would only being able to pay taxes in X give X value? Dipshit, everyone would just use something else and have zero income(edit: wouldn’t even own X) in X, if that were it.

The dollar derives it’s value from the threat of violence. Got it.

Are you sure about this? Your own post is telling on you.

And if nothing else was accepted?

If jail time is violence then I would agree with you. It is not my system but THE system. And that is how it works. Not the way the orthodox economists say so.

You put forth an amazingly compelling argument for the validity of orthodox economics.

When I hear or read these things it makes me want to immediately do the opposite.

Wow, why don’t you just refute what I said with a good argument? Oh wait, you can’t so it just easier to post a statement. Keep embarrassing yourself! Anyone who isn’t a moron like you could see right through you, You are nothing more than a transparent fool.

Because you’re arguing that your ghost is better than a real thing.

Try starting these skid bitching rant/fairy tales of yours with “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” instead, or maybe " Once upon a time…" or even “When I’m elected, I promise to…”.

You’re a deconstructionist that doesnt believe he needs a blueprint.

We already have one of those in the oval office.

Maybe, just maybe it’s because you don’t have an argument.

You really are this dumb aren’t you

Says who? Y/ou.

I never said governments can’t work, they are however, bloated, non-optimized, and extremely inefficient. Need examples? Look at the F-35 cost & contract details, the history of the space shuttle, the VA (mentioned multiple times already).

Also, you failed to address the fact that the great example you mentioned of GPS is only made possible by oil. And don’t claim it was all in the past because a new batch of GPS satellites was recently launched.

He doesn’t even remember what a blueprint is.

If what you say is true why wouldn’t the whole country decide to stop paying taxes? Why don’t the massive corporations stop paying taxes? The gov can’t take out all 300M plus people. We can rally for things like Supreme Court decisions and police brutality you better believe we would be able to rally for our own pocketbooks.
