LESSON #1 FOR THE OWS MORONS: "AS MUCH AS THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR" IS NOT GREED

REPEAT:

"AS MUCH AS THE TRAFFIC WILL BEAR" IS NOT GREED.

Getting the highest price you can if you are the seller, or getting the lowest price you can if you are the buyer is how the free-marketplace operates.

As long as no one is coerced into a deal, then it is fair and square.

When A-Rod became available to the highest bidder, nobody knew better what he was worth than the team owners. Do you want some bureaucrat determining what baseball players should make? What ticket prices should be? What the beer and the hot dogs should cost?

The market determines that more efficiently and FAIRLY than any third party can.

The idea that some third party better knows the value OF ANYTHING - and should intervene to set the market price independently of those who are selling and buying is absurd and ultimately statist. And it has always failed - and created shortages and black-markets along the way.

If centrally directed market pricing worked, then the USSR would be the best and most successful economy in the world.

What is sinful and evil is not the imagined greed of folks trying to get the best deal possible in the free-marketplace, but the covetous envy of the left.

The Left so desires what other people have earned that they want a powerful government to step in and take away the private property of those who have earned it and give to their pals and cronies and their favored "victim" groups.

YES: There are imbalances in the marketplace, but they are all caused by a government that is too big, too invasive, and too cozy with certain players in the market.

In other words, the problem is that government is too big and too involved in the economy.

The solution isn't more involvement o as those on the Left argue.

The solution is less government, smaller government - LIMITED GOVERNMENT.

Government that doesn't bailout its pals and steer loans to its cronies, but - in the free marketplace - lets the chips fall where they may.

If the OWS dupes really and deeply want fairness, then they should stop demanding things from the government and start working alongside the Tea Party (after they bathe!) and demand that the government shrink and return to the small limited size that the Founders envisioned and that the US Constitution allows.

Then crooks and cheaters everywhere - on Wall Street, in the so-called "green economy" - won't have anyone to bribe in order to get favors.

IF YOU WANT TO PUT AN END TO CRONY CAPITALISM, THEN A FREE-MARKET AND SMALL LIMITED GOVERNMENT IS THE ANSWER.
