How America does, and does not, redistribute income

Another comment without any economics? Didn't see that coming. Perhaps you can refer to the quote and try a less churlish approach:

"...there's no efficiency gain from the likes of child poverty. It just increases social costs and reduces human capital outcomes. Redistribution to tackle these problems is straightforward sense."

 

I did: yours.

My post identified the churlishness -- and hypocrisy -- of yours.

 

I'll try again. Critique the comment: "...there's no efficiency gain from the likes of child poverty. It just increases social costs and reduces human capital outcomes. Redistribution to tackle these problems is straightforward sense."

 

What's to critique? It makes perfect sense. Uniquely, perhaps, among everything you have ever said.

 

Ahhh, you've just been ranting! Doesn't surprise me

 

Huh?? I was talking about another topic, as you know perfectly well. Talking about something other than a specific quote you happen to be proud of is not the definition of "ranting," sorry.

 

It doesn't surprise me that you're not even aware of what you're replying to. A Georgist who loves imperalism and celebrates neoclassical marginalism? What can you say!

 

<sigh> I quoted what I was responding to directly, verbatim, and in context, as you are well aware, so please do not just continue makin' $#!+ up about what I have plainly written.

Perhaps the reason you are confused is that you think I was responding to something I didn't quote. That's something I rarely do, but you seem to do quite a lot.

A groveling apology for your false and disingenuous claims about what I plainly wrote would be in order.

 

You have celebrated Churchill and you have celebrated neoclassical economics. Crikey, you must hate yourself!

 

You just keep piling up the reasons to apologize....

 

Note you didn't dispute anything said. Did you celebrate Churchill? Yep. Did you come out with Neoclassical 101 on market failure? Yep. The problem is that you want to be a revolutionary heavyweight, but your economic knowledge is so diddy.

 

Redsitribution welfare makes things worse not better. America became greatest in world from people looking to work not to get redistribution welfare!!

 

Your nauseating claim that I must hate myself was false, but beneath disputation.

How many orders of magnitude more worthy of celebration was Churchill than you, I wonder....

Because that much economics is agreed by all schools of economics but the loony-toon.

I know enough to tell the difference between economic knowledge and irrelevant drivel masquerading as economics. I don't choose to waste my time on irrelevant drivel.

 

Don't you find it strange that your argument is land-rant based but, when it comes to your fanatic behaviour, you choose an imperialist that is alien to any freedom over land? Bit obvious really.

Don't fib now. You came out with Econ 101. It was celebration of neoclassical economics. Strange how you slip into the orthodox when you stutter

My 5 year old comes out with better responses! Why can't you actually offer economic critique?

 

"Freedom over land" is a meaningless anti-concept designed to prevent use of the valid concept of liberty to use land.

What's a bit obvious, really, is that you have decided to just say anything to try to prevent understanding of economics.

Of which you are all too obviously innocent.

No, that is just an absurd and disingenuous spew of filth from you.

Not so strange is how you will say anything but the truth.

I have, as you know. But as it refuted your disingenuous and evil swill, you have to pretend I didn't say anything. Bit obvious, really.

 

Do you think an imperialist is offering "liberty to use land"? Think carefully now!

 

Far more than those who fabricate every sort of absurd, disingenuous nonsense to attack justice in land tenure.

 

So you honestly think an imperialist is someone to cheer over "liberty to use land"? Crikey, you really don't care about making sense do you?

 

If, like Churchill, that's what they advocated. Imperialism and liberty to use land are quite orthogonal. Imperial Germany established the greatest liberty to use land and associated justice in land tenure the world has yet seen: the land value tax system in Kiaochow.

More accurately, I don't care about what YOU consider "making sense," given your absurd derogation of your moral and intellectual superiors.

 

I just love this! Your comments on here are splattered with 'You is Evil' comments. But when you're caught out supporting one of the most evil land grabs in modern history, you become an apologist!

It's just a snippet of friendly advice! Choosing to hero worship a land grabber known for his support of concentration camps probably wasn't a good option for someone so reliant on morality rant over land...

 

If the glove fits...

It's clear you have simply made that up. If not, you could provide a direct, verbatim, in-context quote to that effect. But of course, you can't.

<yawn> Readers know which of us is the apologist for evil. The associated disingenuousness drips from your every sentence.

That is also something you made up.

So, whenever anyone objects to the evil views and policies that you are such an industrious apologist for, you have no answer, so you just dismiss it as "morality rant." Thought so.

 

Intreresting that you find someone that disagrees with you on a politics forum 'evil', but you celebrate someone that supported the use of concentration camps. Each to our own I suppose!

 

If they do so dishonestly, to rationalize and justify evil. Yep.

Yes, well, I am also quite an admirer of Aristotle, who supported slavery. I am just, unlike you, able to know the fact that admiring a great man's achievements does not entail endorsing everything he ever said. When you have graduated from high school you might have the maturity to understand that. But I doubt it.

 

A pathetic effort! You call people 'evil' because they disagree with you whilst championing someone that disagrees with everything you stand for. Your dishonesty in comment is unfortunately clear. I find it repugnant

 

No, I already corrected your repeated false claims on that score. You are more and more tiresome.

No, that's just more silly, disingenuous garbage you have made up.

You are a disgrace.
