[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 864143, member: 2189"] Interesting and he does have a point using his narrow methodology but he's only telling half the story. Here's a way to save huge sums of money and restore a very strong free market and vastly lessen the size of the "owned" state. Get rid of ever means of welfare, subsidization, socialization, price supports and all manner to tax credits, tax breaks and other tax benefits. Strip it all down clean to the bone. Nobody gets nothing and everyone pays for the gov't essentials. Do that and it will be [URL='https://web.archive.org/web/20140418202550/http://c4ss.org/content/7995'][COLOR=#ff0000]painfully obvious[/COLOR][/URL] why this guy is only telling half the story and you'd see who would scream the loudest about losing their gov't welfare! You damn right! Also I was making similar points [URL='http://www.browncafe.com/forum/f13/state-capitalism-why-uses-socialist-means-its-own-economic-ends-339676/#post863780'][COLOR=#ff0000]here[/COLOR][/URL] in that the biggest purveyor of big gov't is so often overlooked just like the guy in the video did. And even at least Michael Moore, for all his faults, admits we don't have a true free market and at least from that point we have an agreed principle to work from and then from there the discussion is about strategy. And cudos to the young man for posing an excellent question and fostering the discussion. As a student of George Washington I hope he went to the Economics Society lecture with Sheldon Richman on [URL='http://gmueconsociety.blogspot.com/2010/02/sheldon-richman-capitalism-versus-free.html'][COLOR=#ff0000]Capitalism verses the Free Market[/COLOR][/URL] The full lecture is under that name on YouTube and is very much worth the watch.
