You have it backwards and upside down but then you may be a beneficiary of the government largesse and so therefore biased in favor of benefitting therefrom, which just underscores the corruption you pretend to fear.

May 24, 2012 - ? what is the intent of your response here? I'm not sure I quite understand. I never said wealth redistribution was good.. in fact I didn't imply anything except that we need a new system..
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - Believe me, dear Sir: there is not in the British empire a man who more cordially loves a union with Great Britain than I do. But, by the God that made me, I will cease to exist before I yield to a connection on such terms as the British Parliament propose; and in this, I think I speak the sentiments of America.—Thomas Jefferson, November 29, 1775
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - "WE" don't need a new "system". We simply need to assert our natural law rights to keep the fruits of our own honest labors, and freely to trade with whomever we wish. And get the collectivists and their apologists our of our business.
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - The pretense of this video is clearly undone when you consider what impact Keynesian economics have had for the last 80 years in America - it has reversed our edge in the marketplace that we labored (freely) to acquire and maintain since the founding. What is broken? Keynesian economics.
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - Always with the "new social order" rhetoric which is the same old shopworn lies that petty dictocrats peddle whenever they smell a hint of power and control that they can usurp. Adding the words "Humane" and "responsible" is a bold and brazen PR move which is merely the devil dressing up in angelic costumery.
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - Yeah, YOU WISH they read too much Hayek, actually, you would have DIED had they read any at all since you have perversely worked to SQUELCH all talk of Austrian economics anywhere where it seriously matters. Actually, they read too much Marx, and Keynes, and Machiavelli. Since they wanted to dominate, control, and put under their feet the true libertarians and the free market economics that made a lot of people wealthy without the "benevolent" guidance of a "humane" dictator collective.

SDS4BO Says:
May 26, 2012 - John Maynard Keynes: Between 1937 and 1944 he served as the head of the Eugenics Society and once called eugenics "the most important, significant and, I would add, genuine branch of sociology which exists." And Keynes, we should add, understood that economics was a branch of sociology. So let's be clear: Keynes thought eugenics was more important, more significant, and more genuine than economics.

May 27, 2012 - Socialism is unnatural and is unworkable. It seeks to make everyone the same when people are very different. Socialism is supported by the parasites who can't support themselves and the big banks who lend to Socialist governments.

May 27, 2012 - P.S. I made an articulate and valid point. You insult. Typical Republican.
SDS4BO Says:
May 27, 2012 - Which book do you recommend, how about Road to Serfdom. Chapter 6. Central planning doesn't work.How 'boutAdam Smith The Wealth of Nations.You leave my wealth alone and I'll leave yours alone - and we will both be better off for it. There's only 4 ways to get wealth.BegBorrowStealExchange it voluntarily because value is only in the eye of the beholder.Besides at some point central planners turn violent as in Nazi Germany and Communist Russia.

May 28, 2012 - A lot of people are in the matrix and their minds cannot grasp or conceive another economic living system for humans...but there is. Imagine a world where everything does not have a monetary value assigned to it...it is humanity's God-given right to eat, drink and sleep for free. Placing value on water, land, food and in the future maybe air is foolish and greedy. It is downright satanic. There is another way of living - free - paradise

May 29, 2012 - I encourage everyone to watch a documentary titled "One Third Of The Holocaust", which debunks and exposes holocaust myths and lies. (You can find it here on YouTube.)/watch?v=bzBpcuE8mpcI did not create the film, nor do I know the person who did. I'm telling others about the documentary because it helped change the way I see the world.We all need to do our part to spread the truth about the holocaust.Take care.

May 29, 2012 - haha I laughed so hard when I read the quote by Alan Greenspan because Greenspan was a terrible fed president. Actually thats not fair because no fed president can be good, the institution itself is to blame
swanmix10 Says:
May 29, 2012 - I think the solution he is looking for is Austrian Economics and the Ludwig von Mises institute. Read Tom Woods and Rothbard.
swanmix10 Says:
May 29, 2012 - Im on the part now where he talks about the housing crisis. hahahahhahahahaha. take an economics class mr. harvey, or at least one that does not involve Kaynes or Marx!!!! Sorry thats a bit harsh, mainstream economics teaches that non sense so I guess you cannot be blamed. Social theorists crack me up.

May 30, 2012 - The root of the problem is that government have something to sell. Not that the big companies want what they are selling.
SDS4BO Says:
May 24, 2012 - Let the individual buyers beware, not the collective usurpers in the government. The government is nothing more but a giant corporation with the force of law. It is anti-competitive with all other corporations and when you remove competition you remove the incentive to make the corporations better. At least rather than one giant corporation, i.e. the government, you have many corporations whose long term survival depends upon getting sustenance from the free market -which keeps them honest.
