No, no it is not. What are the goals of an economy or government? To collapse in repeated cycles? No? Then it is, in fact, NOT presently working as designed.
That’s exactly my point. To pretend the government or economy is supposed to be some unstable mess is missing the entire purpose of it in the first place, let alone understanding any balance…
Defending the rich and powerful as above the law is equivalent to defending death as the purpose of life.
They’re not defending the rich and powerful as above the law, they’re analyzing the way the law is written and applied, and the way it’s been written and applied since the country’s founding.
The whiskey rebellion was triggered when George Washington taxed independent whiskey producers, while his and his buddy’s large distilleries were largely exempt.
The law is written to protect the oppressing class and bind the oppressed class.
Yes, that is the constant attempt of the powerful to remain so. That is a constant no matter what. The entire point of democracy is to upset that balance.
Are we a (fledgling and flailing) democracy, or just a failed experiment?
There are no infinities in the real world. Only boundaries where something becomes a guarantee. Horizons that you cannot grasp. Unfortunately for you, those horizons seem to stop at … movie references.

When a system is working as designed it is working correctly, is it not?
If this system isn’t working for you (which means I guess you are not rich), then you need a different system, don’t you?
No, no it is not. What are the goals of an economy or government? To collapse in repeated cycles? No? Then it is, in fact, NOT presently working as designed.
What is the goal of life? To die? No? Then, humans don’t work as designed

We are and have always been a bourgeoisie democracy; a dictatorship of capital.
The struggle against this is a struggle against the very essence of America.

Only a moron fails to understand the current economy is NOT functioning “correctly”.
Is an economy an ever-present thing that works well or poorly depending on many factors? Or something created?
If you say created, you are beyond fucking stupid.
…and only the sith deal in absolutes.

Congratulations.
You’re cracking me up. Thanks for the laugh!
