>> In the dictation case, McDonald's is guilty of both price fixing
and extortion. Ahh, 2dogs you a slithering here. The MacDonalds / Greasy Joe example was
deliberately chosen as an example of force (MacDonalds dictates prices), which
you imply is non-force (price fixing) in order to validate Australia's actions
in violating sovereignty of other nations. Claiming that dictating prices is one form of price fixing is like saying that
murder involves the victim having the free choice to scream before hand. True
but irrelevant. Other readers are invited to reread the last few posts to untangle that little web. >> I don't understand why you think Australia being a
>> corporation is essential to t's argument. Probably because he started out with the sentence:
Australia is a for profit corporation owned by its shareholders (citizens).
If we want to start merely with the assertion that Australia is private
property which belongs to the shareholders, then of course the argument
changes. And like I said in my original article, this is actually a sensible view, and
raises two issues
- Would Australia be a better place if more people were honest about this?
- Would Australia be a better place if there were stronger private property
rights within it - even if those private property rights were not absolute?
The problem with social democracies is that The Mob thinks they will be better
voting themselves the wealth created by others. Which is why I always say that if if there is any hope, it lies with the
Proles.
