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

[Oddball]

“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.

The only thing Milton Friedman is *****-slapping are the worms. The sonofabitch has been dead for seven years.

Friedman's crowning achievement is having influenced Pinochet's destruction of the Chilean middle class and transforming that nation into a totalitarian police state. Now his "supply side, trickle down" scam, embraced by the Grade-B actor and corporatist puppet, Ronald Reagan, has done its damage right here.

There are two categories of American who are favorably disposed toward Friedman (and the Chicago Boys) policies. They are a) wealthy corporatists, and b) ignorant, brainwashed fools.

Anyone who wishes to learn the truth about Milton Friedman should read Naomi Klein's excellent book, The Shock Doctrine. (There also is a video version) Very educational!

Yes her book was an eye opener, capitalist imperialism is pretty hideous with its clothes off.

Speaking of ignorant brainwashed fools.

There are stories out there because idiots like you think you can sway people with outright lies. People like YOU are creating the stories. People with a desire for things to be something they're not, so you can somehow feel justified.

Show us where the government has expanded like you're talking about. I can show you that the number of government workers has been dropping quite a bit under the Obama administration.

The Republicans want smaller government, smaller government means less government workers. The George W. Bush administration created Homeland Security, a massive expansion of government. Facts and recent history are why the right needs to make up stories - reality gets in the way of their ideology.

Conservatives want smaller government. Many Republicans aren't conservatives. George W. Bush is one of those. He's a RINO.

So were Hastert and Frist, the two RINO douchebags who marked up all those spending and bureaucracy bloating bills, that Chimpola signed without batting an eye.

So, maybe it's time to establish a Conservative Party. Post your ideas for a platform in writing and see if anyone agrees.

[edthecynic]

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...

And what does it say about CON$ervoFascists that those lazy unsuccessful progressives are more financially successful!!!!!

Conservatives aren't fascists - progressives are.

At any rate I'm a libertarian - sure I will back conservatives all day because I'm morally conservative, just not ethically - not that conservatives are even attempting to pass fascist laws unlike progressives..

Name one ******* proposed piece of legislation that conservatives have tried to pass?

Progressives are the fascists..... You're the ******* clowns trying to legislate morality in spite of our founding documents.....

There is nothing even remotely moral or ethical about the hate religion of CON$ervoFascism.

I don't know how many ******* times you have to be told. George W. Bush is not a Conservative. He is a Republican with liberal tendencies.

Bullshit!
Bush was more CON$ervoFascist that Reagan. Every tine CON$ervoFascism fails, and it fails every time it is tried, CON$ try to pass it off as too Liberal.

A dozen conservative parties have already been formed. None of them made any headway at the polls. The way for conservatives to accomplish their goals is to work within the party to get rid of the RINOs like Romney and elect genuine conservatives to office.

I know that's exactly what you don't want to see.

Actually Ford and Einstein both got government welfare.

Milton Friedman destroyed Chile and New Zealand, and and partially destroyed many other countries including the UK and the US.

So are these Democrat Party Icons

I made a personal list of top deadly people and I have Marx at #1.... Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, Castro, Che Guevara or even psychos today like Kim Il-Un wouldn't exist without him....

Pol Pot is number two if anyone cares...

Maybe I'll send it to Cracked.com or any of the other sites who specialize in such material..

That's because you're too stupid to understand that there is very little difference between the two.

What "welfare" was that?

Milton Friedman destroyed Chile and New Zealand, and and partially destroyed many other countries including the UK and the US.

Chile is the wealthiest country in Latin America and New Zealand is one of the wealthiest countries in the entire world, so how did Friedman "destroy" them?
