Milton Friedman Bitch Slap's Obama's "You didn't build that" nonsense

As long as we starve together !

What made this country once great is the understanding on individualism. Individuals built this nation not a bunch of idiots in government.... The founders gave us liberty and an opportunity to create a nation - we did that - now our government wants to take it all away because it's not fair to some....

Guess what? life isn't fair - there is no such thing as equal or fair.... The idea of fairness and equality is a total pipe dream....

Look at the Olympics - some individuals are better than others - life is the same way and we just cant hand out blue ribbons to everyone....

Then the progressives claim those who are successful are greedy? hell no - those who loathe them are the greedy ones - they want what they have worked hard for.....

Darn that liberal Jesus Christ and that socialist Father of his.

What makes you think Jesus Christ was a liberal?

“The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests. The great achievements of civilization have not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn’t construct his theory under order from a bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn’t revolutionize the automobile industry that way. In the only cases in which the masses have escaped from the kind of grinding poverty you’re talking about, the only cases in recorded history, are where they have had capitalism and largely free trade.

Henry Ford didn't mind the government building roads to help him sell cars. Einstein worked for the Government. The Manhattan Project was a government project. So were the Moon Landings.
 
It is very telling that all the left can do in response to The Great Milton Friedman is ridicule and immaturity.

Nice job guys....

Just because a man is dead, does that change his findings and writings?
Doubt it... we still follow Jesus, we still study Einsteins theories, and Martin Luther King Jr is still right about civil rights.... why is it that because Mr. Friedman is dead, what he said can be discounted as truth.

Prove your side of the debate is truth rather than laugh at historic facts.

The historic fact is that in every country his economic theories were implemented, the only beneficiaries were the rich and the multinationals who wanted cheap raw materials and a terrorized cheap labor force. If you only care about how the elite are doing his theories were awesome, if you care about things like tyranny, torture, pollution, loss of democracy, land raping, corruption and exploitation then they were not so good.

What utter horseshit. Chile is a country that explicitely implemented his policies, and it has the highest standard of living in Latin America. The countries that implemented the policies you support, like Bolivia and Nicauragua, have the lowest standard of living. Singapore and Hong Kong are two countries with the least amount of government interference in their economies, and they are in the top 5 when it comes to the standard of living.

Numbskulls like you keep spouting this kind of nonsense because you're hoping people are too ignorant to check the facts.

I am guessing the asshole will just reply to your facts with more bumper sticker platitudes.
 
"The world runs on individuals pursuing their separate interests."

The 'world' runs on huge businesses that oblige everyone (governments, nations and people) to play their game by their rules.

Life SHOULD run on the individual and her/his consciousness, intelligence and capacities.

Do you see that happening?

Was Jesus begging the Romans to redistribute wealth?

No he expected charity - not government redistribution - the same charity conservatives give today while progressives look to the government to support the alleged needy or those who are just envious...

You don't know jack shit dumbass.

What a bunch of stupid replies, the trend is following a pattern and that pattern since Reagan is,,,,are you ready?????? The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Yet you idiots defend the very people whom would have nothing to do with you,the rich, silly people.

Not only is your post wrong, it isn't even coherent.

Then why has the gap between rich and poor grown?
Why has the top corporation had record years in profit?
Why is the estimated value of big corporate offshore acounts values at 22 trillion?

Jesus said that a poor woman who gave her last cent was of more value than the man who had much and kept it.

God in the beginning gave all to Adam, he never had to work a day in his life, but he must have been a conservative since he got kicked out of utopian Eden.

If you want to know where the masses are worst off, it’s exactly in the kinds of societies that depart from that. So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear, that there is no alternative way so far discovered of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by the free-enterprise system.” --Milton Friedman

CARPE DIEM: Milton Friedman Responds to Obama

Every re-distributive economy is an inhumane shithole, every single one of them. It's so fucking bad they have to build walls to keep anybody with a brain from fleeing. But that's the exact system embraced and adored by the "American" Left. They love a system that has a 100% Guaranteed fail rate and while they're living in the #1 economy in the world.

Insanity. Absolute fucking insanity.

You are one partisan myopic and ridiculous person. Enstein and Ford and Jobs are all beholden to Pythagoras of Samos within President Obama's meaning. Transport on government roads and bridges - built by private sector construction companies in pubic/private joint projects - are used by most business, big and small.

Spinning the comment as you and the rest of the parrots do is silly, silly is what you do best and even then need the government, for government is the grist of your every idiotgram.

It's not "spin" since your messiah was trying to use it as a justification for the government taking more money from business people.

She didn't work for the gubmint. Hope that helps.
 
Roads were built on taxpayer money when taxpayers bought increasing numbers of autos.

The convenience was apparent; the cost was collectivised.

Logical, not dogmatic or ideological.

So I guess the gov't just pulled the money to do all those things out of its ass???

None of the things you listed would be possilbe w/o the PRIVATE SECTOR.... which supplies capital for the gov't to build said projects.


One more point you fail to address..... there are also FAILED businesses an every one of those "gov't supplied highways".... how ya gonna splain that?? :confused:
 
And please don't tell these brainiacs that Henry Ford, the great industrialist, was a socialists, into green technology and hated Jews.
OMG moment.

Libturds are the ones who are always claiming that Henry Ford was a socialist. They insist he instituted the $5/day wage as a service to the community, not a hard headed businessman.

More libtard bullshit.

The material well-being of the 'poor' has improved 50% since 1980.

So governemnt didn't build it.

They facilitated it.

And business that uses it DID IN FACT HELP BUILD IT (pay for it).

It would be just as stupid for Obama to point at a power station and say you didn't build that....someone else did. That someone else is someone else he would have to point to and say..."you didn't build that".

He really came clean.

Why do you think Jesus was a lefty?

Typically you USE the Bible here, but not to defend a little innocent baby being murdered by its "mom"....

Stop leaning on Jesus' teachings when its convenient... besides, you miss the point of the story.
