This was first posted here the day before the election, November 3, 2008. Obviously, some of you didn’t listen carefully, and voted for Obama. So here it is again. Pay attention this time. And ask yourself which of the politicians in Washington these days is rewarding the right people with your hard-earned tax money.
Milton Friedman is one of the all time brilliant economists. Ironically, he was at University of Chicago, the old stomping grounds of THE ONE. Here is a pretty old video… you can tell by how young Phil Donahue looks. And you’ll be able to tell, if you’re younger, that the hip discussions you’ve had in bashing capitalism and free markets are not new. You may not know anything much about the Soviet Union, because academics and teachers are mostly embarrassed at having been so wrong about it, so they didn’t bother to teach you about it, either. Still, the points are very clear.
