is global capitalism
because the end goal is the cheapest labor, which means outsourcing
So that's why i always say, free markets with reasonable protectionist trade policies
A part of it is making the capital needed to build a small business available in the first place, on average it costs $30,000 to start a small business.
Futhermore something like 60% of new businesses fail
because of high wages, and overrregualation.
At least here in CA for sure.
What would you say about degeneracy markets like prostitution and drugs?
What is the line you draw with that sort of thing?
Well drugs I'm back and forth.
I think liberty is important, you can govern yourself if you're self disciplined. It should be legal because people should be able to make that decision, but they shouldn't because it is the right thing to do to avoid taking drugs. Personally, I think all recreational drugs should be banned, ok for medical use, but not recreational, just because of way it can ruin your entire life if you made a decision when you were too young to think it through logically. I think prostitution is fine to be legal, federally. States can have their own laws on that, just because I think people should have their free agency to choose so.
I'm wiling to give into recreational use of weed as long it's in a devolved way.
Hi wiling to give into recreational use of weed as long it's in a devolved way., I'm Dad!
States decide that on their own.
Though I think it should be federally illegal personally.
I'll have to make a complete disagreement on the question of prostitution
This is sort of when my philosophy comes in, I believe that there would be more of an adverse effect than benefit when it comes to legalizing that when it comes to the values of the nation.
Well if people were self disciplined it wouldn't matter, because Christianity doesn't allow it.
I think it's more important to support American citizens' free agency. Their ability to choose, than have the government telling them what is and isn't ok.
We can discourage it
I just have a disagreement with that idea.
I'm not into libertine sort of laws, to me it has to sort of benefit more than harm the general public, the laws of the nation showcase the value of the nation.

I understand, but I think we're stretching beyond the purpose of the federal government given by the Constitution.
I disagree
Well the values and laws of America are libety
Part of the preamble is to promote the nation's general welfare
Yeah but look at article 1
the enumerated powers
That's the axiom I take when I look at the role of the federal government in the united states
And even the elastic clause I don't think supports banning prostition
But you do see where I'm getting at, I look at things from the effect they will have in society
I don't think it's right to use the government to dictate morals to people, whether your believe prostitution is ok or not is a moral issue I believe, not a problem of the welfare of society.
Well what negative effect does prostitution have on the general welfare?
For me at least, the worst I've seen is them siting in corners and looking gross, which is no different than what someone in poverty does.
Sitting on corners*
Moral degeneration, taking away the sexual drive to make a family by instead blowing your load into a whore
Well let's be real here FLanon
Anyone that is morally ok with getting a whore, has personal issues anyway that wouldn't have made them a good father.
Adding another avenue of revenue to young women who shouldn't be selling their bodies on the streets
