Milton Friedman Channels Manly

25th August 2009

Seriously though, he’s pretty much my hero.  In all my study of economics on the way to my degree he was the individual who influenced me the most.

The fact that he OWNS socialist moonbat Donahue is just icing on the cake.

Phil using the word “Maldistribution” gives his position away immediately.

So True

25th August 2009

“Every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to some men at the expense of others.”

Ayn Rand

Nice one LBJ, right there with you.

10th August 2009

A quote from LBJ:

‘You do not examine legislation in the light of the benefits it will convey if properly administered, but in the light of the wrongs it would do and the harms it would cause if improperly administered.’

- Lyndon Johnson

Not that I see any benefits to single payer, rationed health care run by a government that cannot deliver mail without running the post office in the red.

The next thing that Obama will supposedly “need” to do is implement a middle/upper-middle class tax increase or VAT.  Mark my words, he will try to implement one or both.

You idiots who voted for this knucklehead socialist need to hit yourselves in the face with a rather large blunt instrument.  Hopefully you will either be unconscious or come to your senses when the next election rolls around.

Some Health Care Facts

4th August 2009

I am sure if you know me personally you are already aware of how I feel about this issue.
