Just another short clip of Friedman this time with a young idealist.
Milton Friedman Schools Young Idealist - 2 (Stanford) - YouTube
At about 1:10 into to it I personally find the young mans comment rather amusing and unfortunatly too typical when the left is confronted with facts.
.
Mike, I think it informative that the young lad seemed perplexed by the crowd snickering at his incoherence. Yet another example of being so wrapped up in ideology that facts confuse. Friedman's comments about "false premise" are artful.......it applies as well to Alan's article regarding Stiglitz' book.
I wonder if that lad can look back at his younger self and realize how sophmoric he was?
"As the widening financial divide cripples the U.S. economy ........."
I'll be darned! Is that what's doing it?
Jim
"...I wonder if that lad can look back at his younger self and realize how sophmoric he was?....."
Bob I personally pray that he did not go into the education field where he could pass along his ideals on to young minds.

what a friggin troll .
how about you occupy the business end of a shovel or hammer instead of whining how people should give you something..
OK, Bill - it's gone, though that 'language' is f-a-a-r-r-r from the worst I've seen here on this forum site and less then spectacular compared to what's on TV, pre and during prime time, including kids shows. Possibly if you even choose to go back through the 630 earlier posts on this thread you might even find others. But you are the boss!!
Hmmmmmm...........I bet a guy could build a pretty good little business selling small business folk something similar to that Dave.........well, for the next 90 some days anyway.
Maybe THAT business WOULD have to give credit to Mr. Obama for it's existance.:whacked:
No wonder this country is going to hell in a hand basket, people can't show any respect for the President of the United States let alone their fellow man!!!!
A message like that for the President--whoever he is and whatever his party affiliation--goes just too far beyond a disagreement on political philosophy and goes right to vulgar!!!! I was always told that only people of low intelligence have to resort to language like that to get their point across....
Guys,
While as a business owner I take offense to a president who states "he did it for me" (as if he worked the 80+ hour work weeks I did in the past and at times still do for little to no money), I believe the above post is going a little far to prove a point. Let's remember that this is an open forum, and as such children on occasion do wander in.
Enough said.
Bill S.
I thinking about writing a book about the types of gloves I've worn out-----and gotten blisters cause of it
You can put it back up, if I wanted it deleted, I would have removed it myself. My post in red was just a reminder that this is a public access forum.Quote:

Mike P,
What a mind, Friedman thanks for the links. I am going to seek more of his insight. Sure has a great way of telling lefty they are full of crap. I loved the deer in the headlights stare when the moron was confronted with facts. When that typical lefty mind was tested for a thought, the little boy dismisses the facts presented to him. Lefty is good for a laughs, but very dangerous.
Keep your powder dry
I read "The 1 Percent’s Problem" and came away with a renewed dislike of Joseph Stiglitz as I think he cries a lot about the problems in our country but rarely (if ever?) brings a solution to the table.
I did like one of the comments listed after his article:
"The real lie in this is the implication that a higher tax will actually result in enough revenue to fix our financial crisis. You can confiscate all the net worth of the top 1% and it would not quite pay for 1 year of our deficit, and after that having taken all their assets (net worth not income), would leave us with nothing to tax in the next year. It's time for the 53% to rise up and demand that the other 47% start paying their fair share."
I concur,
Glenn
Worst part is, the whole "you didn't build it" thing is nothing more then another of Romney's ads.... a small part of an Obama speech taken out of context and twisted around to look as idiotic as possible!!! Come on, don't believe everything Fox news sez without checking out it's authenticity. Both campaigns are all about ads that throw dirt on the other guy and do nothing about addressing the real issues.
I'm not for Obama in this election either, but I'm also not going to be fooled by a bunch of lies, half truth's, innuendo's, and statements taken out of context. It's only August and I'm already fed up with all the negative ads, remember when candidates used to run ads about what their platforms were, and how they were going to work to solve problems???? Maybe the whole country has gone that way, "If you can't say something negative, don't say anything at all".
