  1. I was merely inviting everyone to participate Lucrum, calm down, and if I nicked you personally with that arrow, my apologies. Now back on topic, this is the real war. Spread the word.

  2. I love when a liberal expresses the depth of their intellectual gray matter.

    I mean, how do you compete against this genius?

    Salma Hayek? Me Too! I would love to camp with her!

  5. Hayek of course. Keynesian policy is what created this mess. Bailout after bailout, bubble after bubble.

  6. And the alternative is what? Cut taxes on everybody except the rich?

    It that how we implement Hayek?

  7. Obviously didn't study econ if you think that's a summation of Hayek. You 1) let bad companies fail i.e. no bailouts. 2) no stimulus bullshit (which was really just an attempted wealth transfer scheme anyhow) 3) stop inflationary policies. That's just a start. And yes, in the interest of equality and fairness, taxes ought to be more flat. Have you seen the Laffer curve? Also, not having the highest corporate tax in the developed world might be something to consider.

  9. :) That's better, much better.

    So, you are suggesting that we let Citibank fail then? And how does that boost confidence? Ah, yes, a run on the banks, that's how.

    You also suggest that the government stand by while it's citizens languish, no public works? Nice.

    Inflation is a product of supply and demand, so because u refused to stimulate the econ, there are less companies to make bread. Not more, so what does bread do? It does up? Really?

    Flat taxes, so the single mother with four kids loses what, 10% of her already meager income? The billionaire pays 10% of his wealth. Ouch, that would really hurt that billionaire, I gotta tell ya.

    In your view, are those determinate or indeterminate curves?
