Anyone willing to bet on a devaluation of the dollar when all the debt bubbles burst?

Let the wealthy and powerful alone so they can run roughshod over the people and the environment for their own gain. That's what you and your libertarian economics does.

I don't see the left doing much about the crony capitalism.  Indeed they seem to be in as in bed with the banks as the Republicans.  Curious that Clinton won't release the speeches that she was paid hundreds of thousands for by Goldman-Sachs.  Bernie is just another economic illiterate.  So not much help there.

I would rather people ran their own lives and benefited of suffered the consequences of their own decisions.

Unfortunately people are not isolated individuals, and no (wo)man is an island. We suffer the consequences of others' decisions too, especially their voting decisions, as well as their market decisions.

Which is why people decide who they will associate on their own. The only reason that voting decisions are so problematic is because we have a government with too much power.

This is a futile exercise since the government steals money from everyone else so the money is in politics. That kind of power attracts sociopaths who are attracted to the money and power. Given human creativity I am sure they will figure something out no matter what law gets passed. Try to remember that no one can be trusted with the ring.
