Economic control directly affects private lives and social control directly affects the economy.

to some degree, yes. but in very different ways.

economic control can effect the ability of people to pursue their personal/social desires to the extent that it can limit(by way of taxes/regulations) or increase(by way of welfare/regulations[ie minimum wage, 8 work days, etc]) ones ability to do so.

 social control can effect the economy by effecting peoples productivity. prohibiting behaviors which are correlated with low productivity for example.


very very different. 


lumping both parties together is just plain ignorant.

I don't think you have any concept of what is ignorant.

Many people in the real world would say the stuff you talk about on getbig is ignorant, so your blanket statement is hardly valid.

Grow up son.

See the world for what it is, then get back to me. I'll expect a full report in a few years.

yes and no

democrats  like to "control" the world of economics to the degree that they want to tax and regulate business in such a manner as to ensure responsibility and fairness and to fund social welfare programs. another way they could be said to be "controlling" is in the realm of "parents rights", which is how the conservatives would frame the issue, democrats believe that a parent does not have the right to raise their child in a way that will set that child up for hardship down the road. conservatives would say this is completely the parents decision unless the actons of the parents are directly abusive to the child. democrats would see things like overfeeding, overworking, indoctrinating cultish religious beliefs, medical procedures which have long lasting and potentially undesirable effects (example=circumcision) to be things parents should not be allowed to do.  these would be jusitified by democrats as protecting the rights of the not yet mature child to be able to make those decisions on their own once theyve grown. conservatives just see it as the government overstepping their bounds and getting between a parent and their kid.


republicans like to control peoples social and private lives and behaviors they deem to be contradictory to traditional moral beliefs. they usually go by religious fundamentals and try to ban things which they feel are patently profane, blasphemous, or socially/morally destructive. they believe that even though these are personal decisions at the core they fundamentally effect the way society operates and influences the rest of the community in a profoundly negative way. democrats would argue that even though some personal decisions do carry the potential to negatively effect the lives of othe rpeople they only carry that potential indirectly, and you can not hold someone liable for the recpetiveness of other people to their bad decisions. also,its been proven time and time again prohibitions are ineffective.



they are very real differences

Shut the fuck up you know it all windbag. I hope the next time you're doing bench presses the bar falls right on your forehead and crushes your skull.
