Participant“CA Renter, I served with libertarians. I know libertarians. Libertarians are friends of mine, and I am a libertarian. CA Renter, you’re no libertarian.”
A socialist, a capitalist and a communist agreed to meet. The socialist was late. ‘Excuse me for being late, I was standing in a queue for sausages.’
‘And what is a queue?’ the capitalist asked.
‘And what is a sausage?’ the communist asked.

ParticipantCA Renter: Now worth responding.
Did all those who are rich earn it? Not necessarily. Some were crooks, some got lucky, and some earned it.
That said, who the hell do all those WORKERS work for and why do they have jobs? Didn’t someone have to put capital at risk to start the business? Didn’t someone have to develop a business plan, hire the first worker, advertise, market, finance, make, distribute, etc?
I have a close friend that just sold his business for $25 million. I was there with him when he had 40k on his credit cards, and was sweating if he’d get his frist customer. I was there when he hired his people, built his software platform, closed his first deal, etc. I’ve seen first hand how his product makes the lives of his customers better, and ultimately benefits society by better allocation of resources (it’s a market forecasting tool). He’s rich now by most standards at the ripe old age of 32, but he earned every cent by bringing something of value into existence that never would have existed without his ideas, hard work, and creativity. He incidently employs 25 retired veterans, most of which make six figures working part time from home (they are highly skilled).
No one is entitled to one red cent by virtue of the fact that they work hard. People are paid based on what they produce be that widgets, advice, or information.
Go back to community college and take economics 101…you’d likely learn a few things.
I also don’t buy any so called well being index as an accurate predictor of well-being. That said, how about.
Current Communist Countries: China, Cuba, Laos, North Korea, and Vietnam.
Notice any similarities? How about repression of human rights, and relatively low standards of living?
How about this list? http://www.heritage.org/Index/countries.cfm
I’ll summarize: The top 10 countries on the index of economic freedom are:
Hong Kong
Singapore
Ireland
Australia
United States
New Zealand
Canada
Chile
Switzerland
United KingdomThe bottom 10 are:
Burma
Libya
Zimbabwe
Cuba
North Korea
Montenegro
Serbia
Sudan
Iraq
Democratic Republic of the CongoWhere would you rather live?

ParticipantMcCain’s proposal is ridiculous. That said, the economic damage he will do in office is nothing compared to what Obama will do. An Obama administration backed by a democratic congress would pass huge amounts of legislation with disastrous long term consequences (taxes, health care, bank/personal bailouts). The government’s balance sheet will move from scary large to teetering on collapse.
I’ll throw this out there. Obama wins, and in Fiscal 2009, the national deficit exceeds $1 trillion (frankly, wouldn’t surprise me if we hit $1.5 trillion).
The nation will be like a drunken sailor at a night club. What seems good at 2AM won’t seem quite so wise at 9AM.
