Nope, never was.

You must enjoy corruption.

The whole monetary system is a product of corruption; in every country in the world. Why worry about something we can't fix. Its just like climate change.

Uh ya, nice try hippy.

Fox you are wrong. The fraud in the monetary system is a direct tax on you me and every other person through the devaluation of our currency over time that hits anyone that saves or invests through the evils of inflation. Control of capital is not only political control, but control over the destiny of a people.

It is because of the central banks that we have a perverted form of democracy where we can vote, but our vote means nothing. We can fix our democracy, but it will just get perverted again if we don't fix the integrity of the monetary and grossly fraudulent financial system that are at the heart of human avarice.

Time Will Tell

Jimmy Pattison is just laughing now! Not only will Canfor reap millions from the HST but less people will be able to go out to restaurants etc. so they will shop at Save on instead. The HST will be revenue neutral as Gordo says. You and I will make up the 4 Billion that Corporate welfare bums will put in their pockets.

How did you know I was a hippy? Direct from the sixties. You're a soothsayer!

Foxtrapper I watched your link and the first half is some good stats and stuff, but the second half one almost needs the peace pipe and get ready to have someone stick an appendage in your ear. Its almost like a false flag where they present the huge horrible problem and then give the solution....

I didn't buy it... first off they make the mistake of mixing as if the same thing 'Free Enterprise' and 'Free Markets'. That gets my attention. These are not the same thing. One is a system of rules that keep open competition and equalization of opportunity, and the other is a system of no rules in a monopolistic orientation. They have nothing in common other than the word 'free'.

Almost like how they later called a 'resource based economy' one where everyone gets all the free resources they can use and don't have to pay for a thing... as opposed to a 'monetary' society where people pay for things and work earns profits? Its safe to say these people mix their meanings up in order to sell an agenda. The agenda seems to be against a 'Free Enterprise' system where a diverse marketplace is ruled through accountability to innovation and productivity. They seem to favor a 'Free Loader' system where one monopoly is the provider of all with no responsibilities, and as such support the end result of the system they are arguing against (Free Markets)in the start of the video... hahaha the internet lol.

In my mind 'Free Markets' are: Unregulated markets from an ethical consideration that are 'free' from all social and or economic governance.

In my mind 'Free Enterprise' is the: Regulation of public resources, and economic activity involving public resources, limited to limit monopolistic control... and thereby promote a diverse market share that is competitively driven through innovation and the equalization of opportunities.

'Free Enterprise' requires government involvement in things like public utilities (BC Hydro, municipal water and sewer), public highways, education, health care and such for the public good... equalizing opportunity for localized ownership of specialized functions in the economy through a competitive marketplace.

As for monetary and 'Free Enterprise' you can't have one without the other, but you can corrupt 'Free Enterprise' quite easily when monetary markets are unregulated and don't allow all in the 'Free Enterprise' system to play by the same rules. And that is the problem they should be talking about... not some fantasy false flag appendage in the ear routine. IMHO
