I'm really not sure that Democratic billionaires want to centrally plan the economy. Those people are also billionaires, why would they give up control they have to a large bureaucracy? Also, I'm not 100%, but I'm 91% that the majority of wealthy people are republicans--- Though nowadays I think both parties have been co-opted by the uber wealthy. Look at the disgusting Clintons as an example on the D side and the Bushes on the R side. The whole thing is a mess.


Regarding your 2nd paragraph... I do enjoy reading your posts... It's like Iocane powder from the Princess Bride... It's poison at first but after a year or so of ingesting it, I've built up a tolerance for it... But there was nothing in the post that you wrote in which I responded in terms of responsibility that had any thing but your own "anecdotal misrepresentations"...


You realize that at the end of the day we're both just arguing different sides of the same coin, so to speak...

The 1% at a minimum is split between the two parties but are overwhelmingly statistics (advocating central government control of the economy). Why? The politicians that would run the economy WORK FOR THEM!


Its easy to generate double digit rates of return on investments when you know how 25% of GDP is going to be spent ad on which sectors of the economy. You can also shield your empire from competition by making your competitors product illegal or create a cost structure that makes production unfeasible.
