I understand tht certain cultures have ways of doing things. But this is so unbelievable to me. I am sickened and repulsed by this. To force feed your daughter to the point of vomiting and torture her to get her to eat.. It’s in humane. I just don’t understand. I’m sickened and saddened. I feel pain in my own stomach and heart for these poor female children. To see this was actually traumatizing to me. Weight is so looked down upon in our society, that men/women starve themselves to “fit in”, and yet in another country they are literally force feeding female children to become fat so that a man will find them more desirable and shows how much she loves him?!?! I just don’t get it. WHY does weight have to be such a stigma…. Why????…….

Comment on The Hijacking of Adam Smith by subalternate

I admire what you’re trying to do by using the term non-necessities. You want to avoid the fact that when necessities are taken into account, those at the bottom pay a greater percentage of their incomes to taxes.

Now, on your general response. The post isn’t intended to argue that Adam Smith was a Keynesian or supported the policies of the Democratic Party. It was my intention to highlight some passages that show that wherever Smith stood, he was far from the ideologue that free-market zealots portray him as in their quest to find intellectual support for the views and convictions. Your comment that “Smith, if anything, was an advocate of the FairTax or FlatTax system” is as laughable as statements by those who try to interpret what the Founding Fathers actually meant when they made a constitutional argument that goes against what they believe.

And your argument that poor people are not really poor because they own electronics is simply silly. Maybe you’ve been reading too much into the nonsense put out by the Heritage Foundation.
