  1. How do you account for philanthropy and charitable donations and private groups who administer programs in their particular interest? People economically vote (for lack of a better way of putting it) in this way, too, by spending extra income and time toward these endeavors. They choose what interests them.

     

    Higher taxes and governmental control over these matters is less efficient and would stifle this large segment of the economy, no? I'm of the opinion that individuals want to say where their resources go and not have a governmental agency take that choice away. I don't believe that socialism is inevitable because there are other proven ways of administering social programs.

     

    I think you're right in observing that this is the direction our federal government is heading, and has been for 200 years. In 1800 there were 4 cabinet positions. In 1900 there were 8, and today I think the number is 24. Not the way I prefer it to be, but obviously the trend it to identify a social issue and then create a whole Administrative arm of government to eff it up.

    so is socialism inevitable because of disadvantaged intetest groups
  2. This guy is such a tool. Listening to him on WGR55, he reminds me of the dorks in school who didn't play football but when they talked about it, they used the terminology the football players and coaches do as a means to try an pull off some level of credibility and authority. So I just listened to him say "mike," "will," "not enough butt." What a complete dweeb. Had to turn him off. Jesus dude.

    go get a beer and relax bruh
  3. I think he's saying "Basic Income", essentially automation on such a massive scale excess humans will not be required, but will exist... and it will be cheaper to just provide a basic government provided life.

    isnt that almost starting to happen now with welfare and the incredible efficiency of modern production

    Our government is foundational and its powers are specifically laid out in text. It's power to tax very concrete. It's not about socialism versus capitalism, Congress has the legal power to collect taxes and fund government responsibilities.

     

    Now what government "should" fund is a whole different question.

    I guess that is the fundamental question my whole issue is regardless of whether you agree with capitalism or socialism or a mix of both isn't it inevitable that socialism and social programs in general would flood the government because of certain economic interest mainly the middle class and poor people simply voting in their interest.

    If this is the case then could one logically make the argument at given how reality is down with resources and human labor in the necessity of government that socialism is the only outcome possible with maybe some gradient notion of private property still existing possibly private property meaning businesses and capital

  4. Reddick is a hoax. I will be so glad if he's off the board before #10. IA guy switching switching positions, played in a very inferior league but he was an incredible Underwear Olympian. Trade back and getting him would take away some of the pain but at #10. :sick:

    I'm curious as to why you don't see Reddit as a top pass rusher he has the natural Bend and explosion off the staff that is extremely rare he has a motor that is always a hundred percent he has the ability to not just bend the corner but also uses hands and convert speed to power when you see all of those traits that are exemplified on the tape and then combine that with his athletic measurables at the combine it's extremely easy see why he would be a top-10 pick in my honest opinion like I said before he just seems like a slightly more inexperienced Von Miller or Robert Mathis or Cornelius Bennett

    But id also love reuben foster

  5. Alex Smith is comparable to Orton in my opinion that didn't go so great and Joe Flacco was a first rounder and ex-Super bowl MVP. There's maybe 6 teams in the league that have a QB on his level if that.

    tyrod has nothing near the passing acumen or anticipation of those two. Smith imho is incredibly underrated and his d randomly collapsed in 2014 against the colts or he would be in his 3rd straight championship game.

     

    Buffalo will NEVER get tht far with tt. Im sorry but thts reality

  6. Ther real fun starts when the next GM comes in if/when Whaley is gone. They better be pretty close to perfect. They need to find the next Tom Brady in no more than two years, draft all starters who don't get injured, never lose a free agent and squeeze between the love fest that everyone claims is going on between Pegula and McDermott all while having absolutely amazing press confrences. Oh yeah and most likely they will be hiring a coach in the next few years and he better be Vince Lombardi. If not the Whaley haters and the people who like Whaley will be on them like white on rice. If im Whaley at this point I want a fresh start. No doubt about the fact that he has a job in the NFL very soon

    they just gotta get a qb tht is near alex smith or joe flacco and everything else will take care of itself
  7. If Reddick was another Bennett/Miller he wouldn't fall to pick 10.

    he might not....

     

    Keep in mind hes from a smaller school snd still learning. But the traits of bennett and miller are there obviously

    Right. He was invited to the Senior Bowl as an off the ball LB and his ability to cover are what really impressed everyone

    shazier wasnt a pass rusher
  8. maybe the common denominator is two poor coaches

    nox, whaley, russ and the scouts passed on 4 franchise qbs. And picked one qb who cant throw a ten yard out in ej and another who we kno nothing about but lost his starting job in college, instead of getting dak who was a starter in college and had good success.

     

    This is why they are getting fired

    A pattern formed. The current fo has no clue in getting a legit qb...

     

    The oakland game was the final straw
