Every citizen of Alaska gets a check every year. In 2013 it was $900 per person. They also have no sales or income taxes to pay.

Right. Those links have been evaluated and denied in epidemiological studies. Given the vast amounts of GM food consumed, wouldn't you expect to see something if the chemical is actually dangerous to human health? Your original link merely points out the levels of the chemical in crops.

You need to recognize that most wealth is not spendable cash that's sitting in a bank. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and the Koch Brothers don't have $200 billion in cash sitting around. I doubt they even have $10 billion in cash sitting around between them. Their wealth is all based on...

Corporations and their owners can only make money when there are willing buyers for their products. We the people have absolute power over them. Our choice not to use that power is our fault. If you buy Brawny, Angel Soft, Mardi Gras, Quilted Northern, Dixie, Stainmaster, or Lycra, just to...

We've been over this, so why are you repeating it? Corporations and labor unions cannot make campaign contributions from their treasuries. Not before Citizens United, not after.

North Sea oil and gas. Period.

Not having food stamps means far more jobs and productivity than in that alternative.

Given that the vast majority of the corn and soy grown in the United States has been genetically modified to allow application of this particular chemical, the chemical is presumably used a lot. Shouldn't we be seeing increases in disease and other problems if the levels of that chemical are...

People figuring out how to be productive on their own generates a lot more.

The Great Depression didn't happen because of corporations, and even if it did, that event didn't ultimately undermine all of the gains I just talked about, so your focus on it makes no sense. Even counting the depression the corporate personhood period was probably far more economically stable...

I disagree. The effect of human behavior is obvious over time. That's why some humans, analyzing such patterns, proposed that there could be a more efficient means of regulating human behavior. And they were right. It was far, far, far more efficient. People today--the poorest people in this...

Now that is utterly offensive. I complain about the social safety net because I see lazy white trash people abusing it, not because I imagine people of different skin colors doing the same. I'm guessing most of the recipients of federal government aid are white. Unless I'm wrong, hating on the...

In this post, of yours, that is certainly true. In your original post? It is certainly not. Buck language games? Shame. Shame.

Because corporate personhood enabled innovation, which enabled my liberation from the fields of subsistence and the development of modern technology. That has nothing to do with free speech.

Corporate personhood came to be because it was a necessity for business associations to take on risks. Risking everything you have to own a business would have been problematic for many business owners. The corporate legal form arose out of the necessity of divorcing the assets of an individual...

That has nothing to do with what I said.

So easy to whine. So much harder to face reality.

Corporate personhood is the reason you're reading this text right now.

The police who were stinging these men probably desperately wanted to have gay sex themselves.

Evidently you need to go look up how many US troops there are and how many were deployed.
