re: Ricardo's means of production.......
I'm trying to figure out who you normally talk to where the kind of thing you routinely dish out actually qualifies as a valid argument.
In several paragraphs, you still fail to come up with a single rational argument that places all bad business practices and philosophies at the feet of Republicans. Or even mostly so. Look up the relationship between Enron and the Democrats sometime. Or Global Crossing.
Or, for a change, cough up some reliable statistics.
