Hard core libertarians doen’t even say there should be no government. Stop saying that those who believe that limited government is best mean that no government is best. It is untrue so stop it.<br /><br />If demand created by Squirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14088030568579672500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-67112243324337846792012-06-20T06:17:46.330-07:002012-06-20T06:17:46.330-07:00what is the rule of law, when a particular individ...what is the rule of law, when a particular individual can have the laws of the land re-written to benefit his enterprise? <br /><br />What is the rule of law, when a lawmakers writes to large banks: "how can I make your life easier" If you actually believe in the rule of law, then large banks in America would have gone bust, those who wrote RMBS products would have gone to jail.

Henry Ford and poor immigrants was a good combination. In Europe rising labour costs lead to colonialism. In USA digital innovation needed Chinese slave labour.The era of cheap labour and squandered wealth is coming to an end in the Western world - its nothing to do with this local Republicans versus Democrats issue.burmanhandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09017094019479329952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-28523944769647368212012-06-20T01:11:20.653-07:002012-06-20T01:11:20.653-07:00After looking at some polling data

The experiments of the 20th century told me so.</i><br /><br />Exactly. We've run huge numbers of public policy experiments over the last 100 years and in each of them the free market keeps coming up aces while central planning fails over and over again.

The Founding Fathers went out of their way to ensure that change comes slowly and with great difficulty, if at all, and they sure did a good job of it.
