but it doesn't matter---the stupid dynamic that obtains between ace and roachboy isn't fun and it isn't interesting and it does nothing to help the community.
i don't want any more part of it.
change has to start somewhere.

How about enough of the sanctimonious b.s. I have repeatedly asked you to ignore my posts given that your only response is to lob personal attacks. If what you write about me and my posts are what you believe, what you do is more of a commentary on you.

For example, there is no such thing as "real wealth." It's a metaphysical construct that ace constantly refers to in defense of experimental economics.

In economics the concept of "real" has a very clear meaning. Depending on the context it often refers to what the net result is. This is often very different from generic statistical measures of something.

ace's views on economics are theoretical and are often in conflict with provable and commonly accepted knowledge.

As with the above and in other things, you have demonstrated that your views are formed on a superficial basis. We are clearly on different plains. Sorry, for interrupting your cliche driven point of view.

Then the answers to an economic issue should be clear for you. Why not solve every economic problem by raising taxes, placing more and more burdens on those who create real wealth.
I am not going to connect the dots for you or anyone else but the comparison below is very relevant to this thread - A pride of lions only survives or thrives because the structure of the prides hierarchy allows the strong to create benefits for the weak. If the natural hierarchy is disrupted or if the strong is unduly taxed, the pride will die - all of them!
