Of course supply and demand can be manipulated by the gvt and wreck havoc on the economy, see housing bubble.

This text above is written so badly, it is almost impossible to understand.

I tried my best (even though English is not my native language) to translate his text.
One of the hallmark characteristics of conservatives is the dumbing down of all issues. Reality is not as clear-cut as conservatives would like them to be. For that reason right-wingers ends up looking at things with a tunnel vision.

The reality of supply and demand is used by conservatives to sound intelligent. They work hard to dodge the fact that other aspects such as human decency and the responsibility for the poor are more important.

That is why right wing perspective favors regressive policies. Their perspective is based on barbarism, disregard for others, and selfishness.
Not only is everything you write totally incomprehensible, but your arguments make zero sense, and only one sentence was even related to the main topic, while the rest was about how horrible conservatives is. If you can't make a comprehensible argument, then how can you say conservatives are stupid?

bUU's post was perfectly understandable if you made any attempt to do so.

My post was clear and concise. You and your buddies are just mad that it was so tightly constructed that you couldn't use the typical superficial nonsense to try to refute what I wrote. That's generally the case when right-winger egoistic avarice is refuted with perspectives grounded in mature, compassionate, moral civic responsibility.

Really, so what does this mean

And don't forget to explain why.

Why does the RW foam at the mouth when liberals propose carbon taxes. Economics 101 says that is one of the efficient ways to deal with the environmental externality of GHG emission.

Do RWers really believe in economics?

Implying that morality is "BS" condemns your comment more than anything else I could say in response.

Similarly, your admission that you couldn't understand that statement condemns your comment more than anything else I could say in response.

Doubling-down on feigned ignorance (I say "feigned" because I know you're all smarter than you're pretending) doesn't help your cause - quite the opposite.

None of the Above.

I am a libertarian who understands that Supply & Demand is as immutable a law as gravity.
