You are aware of course those people are responsible for the current downturn and failure of the world economy. Particularly Friedman who encouraged Raegans laissez faire economics and was a libertarian nightmare that has pretty much lead the world to the point of financial collapse?

That, of course, is psychotic talk about the most important Nobel Prize winner in Economics in the 20th Century.

Resort to authority fallacy bob, whilst it is usually not a fallacy in science or in this case art which economics is really, in this case the guy was advisor to the president who acted on his views and relaxed lending leading to the eventual bank crisis in the 21st century. Hence his ideas of a free market were misguided, imagine the shit we'd be in now if they completely deregulated banks and let them run with the herd towards the cliff edge. Libertarianism is a minority sport because just like communism it is unrealistic, unlike communism though it is a reflection, and also very idealistic and usually just plain wrong where communism looks at man's behaviour and asks for co-operation, libertarianism looks for mans freedom and expounds every man for himself without compulsion, neither is a particularly insightful account of human psychology and neither has ever really been tried, for very good reasons, the ideas are hopelessly naïve and don't remotely reflect the group gestalt or even the zeitgheist for that matter.

Milton Friedman's fundamental outlook of "free to choose" is unassailable. Evensonomics, of course, goes even further. For instance, all taxes except for a single ad valorem tax on property should be immediately abolished, property being defined as anything with intrinsic market value. Inflation should be immediately abolished by requiring that money, which is a medium of exchange, is fully backed by the value of the property it represents. The American Energy Party (AEP) is the only entity that can make this happen.

Or it would be if it actually existed.

Just like the Big Bang, everything has to start somewhere.

Don't worry, Arising never heard of Sting or "Roxanne."

His loss I guess.
