“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.
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 ******* 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 ******* insanity.
Friedman 100% correct with everything he said... However I believe those in power have a more nefarious plan - your typical progressive adheres to the notion "that if we all cant succeed then we should all fail" so they allow a ******* idiot like Obamafuck to destroy individual wealth because in the progressives simpleton minds it's "only fair." You know because
progressives are unsuccessful lazy morons, those tho did achieve success should be brought down to their level in the name of "equality."
That idea has been brainwashed into every idiots head for the last 50 years, and of course the elitist progressives already believe they bought their ticket to immunity from authoritarian or totalitarianism because they help kick-start the process....
Apparently some people didn't learn a ******* thing from Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Kim il-Sung, Kim Jong-il, Ho Che Minh, Castro, Che Guevara etc......
I suppose murder, death, starvation, culls and purges are the progressives ideal utopia...
