Well actualy the huge rumbling centralized government is a result of the economic impact of business on government, not the folks who want to address social ills. The vast majority (well over half of each tax dollar) goes to military or military related issues, not social ills.

The most effective manner is to never have it happen in the first place. While it's clear it isn't possible to legislate individual behaviour past a grossly crude point it is possible to put breaks on the sorts of laws that a given government can pass and enforce. At least with a bill of rights we have a guide that we can use to measure extant and future legislation against. This can occur now under the present system, why doesn't it happen more? There is absolutely no regulations that would prevent such activity; hell the currrent system will even allow you to be exempt from taxes and give you loans, will yours? But to address the point, given that there are no courts, laws, etc. How does one go about addressing the social ill? Buy the company out? How realistic is it to expect the human slave to have the resources to buy themselves out? Not very damn likely. > This is an improvement upon today's system.

The same question can be asked of the shopper who wants the lowest priced tomato's. It isn't the vendors responsibility to provide those sorts of mechanism for the consumer (or user of a system). The interpretation of what lowest price means is so varied that trying to talk of it as some sort of universal given is like talking about rational consumers. It's a non-sequitar. If the consumer wants the lowest price (in their personal estimation) goods then they have several choices (at least): - They can look for it themselves - They can ask a friend - They can pay somebody else to look for them - Or they can sit back and wait for the relevant production sites to contact them (eg Wed's glob of shiney adverts) There is also the very real question of why would wired allow a 3rd party sell their product at a lower cost than they can sell it themselves? Not a rational or good business practice anyway you look at it. > service. Therefore one might (somewhat weakly) argue that they > deprive wired (and others) of click through revenue and they charge > you thus diverting funds wired et al might otherwise have got. Yeah, so? Just because I window shop in HEB down the street doesn't mean I am required to buy anything. And if I walk past a shop and don't register their window display doesn't mean the store lost anything from me - the very fact that I ignored it means they weren't going to get my money at that point. Now if they follow me down the sidewalk and bellow at me I can guarantee that I (and most other folks) won't buy there even if the price is lower. I'd say "quit your whinning". ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.
