Go to RedState.com or DailyKos.com, and you will see these two terms bandied about generously. It seems that there are many schools of thought on why types of insults are so common in American’s political discourse, the term socialism being the insult de jour. The common explanation is that it just a sign of political polarization, anger, and extremism. While all of these things are certainly a factor, I think it has more to do with the fact that the political class has mastered the art of capitalizing on intellectual laziness.

The question you commonly hear from liberals is "Are CEOs paid too much". A conservative answers that they make whatever the market bears. My question is "are they paid more than they are worth to the corporation, and if so why"? Forget that a CEO might make 1000 times more than the lowest paid employee. Forget that they get a golden parachute. Even forget that they do well even when they are poor managers of the company. Are the power structures that have created this market, based on fair capitalism or are they based on power structures that have conflicts of interest?
