"ALL CAPS IN DEFENSE OF LIBERTY IS NO VICE."

WHO IS THE REAL BAD GUY, BIG CORPORATIONS WHO SEEK TO MAKE PROFITS BY WINNING CLIENTS WHO WILL CHOOSE TO BUY FROM THEM, OR GOVERNMENTS WHO ONLY GET REVENUE THROUGH COERCION?

THERE'S NOT A BIG CORPORATION WHO FORCED ANYONE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM.

THEY ALL MADE THEIR PROFITS BY OFFERING A GOOD OR SERVICE TO POTENTIAL CLIENTS WHO CHOSE TO DO BUSINESS WITH THEM AND NOT SOMEONE ELSE.

THE PROFITS ARE EARNED, NOT STOLEN OR COERCED.

THESE PROFITS ARE TOUGH TO EARN IN TODAY'S COMPETITIVE MARKETPLACE.

THE PROFITS OF PUBLICLY TRADED CORPORATIONS BEING TO SHAREHOLDERS - WHICH INCLUDES A LOT OF RETIREES AND PENSIONERS AND UNIONS AND MUTUAL FUNDS - AND IN TURN MANY ORDINARY EVERYDAY FOLKS - NOT 1%'ERS.

OBAMA AN THE OWS SCUM AND THE LEFT IN GENERAL LIE ABOUT THESE CORPORATIONS.

THESE LEFTISTS PORTRAY CORPORATIONS AND THE 1% AS IF THEY WERE BRIGANDS WHO STOLE THEIR WAY TO THE TOP.

AS IF STEVE JOBS AND WARREN BUFFETT AND DONALD TRUMP AND EXXON AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY ALL SOMEHOW COERCED MONEY AWAY FROM POOR FOLKS OR MIDDLE CLASS FOLKS AND GAVE THEM NOTHING IN RETURN.

THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN DECEITFUL AND MORALLY WARPED PROPAGANDA.

IT LIES AT THE VERY CORE OF CLASS WARFARE.

THE DANGER POSED BY THESE LIES IS MANIFOLD:

  • IT POISONS THE POLITICAL CONVERSATION.
  • IT FOMENTS ENVY AND HATRED AND COVETOUSNESS AND SLOTHFULNESS. 
  • IF AND WHEN IT SUCCEEDS IN SQUELCHING FREE ENTERPRISE, THEN IT INEVITABLY SLOWS GROWTH - FOR PROSPERITY IS A BY-PRODUCT OF LIBERTY.

FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS HUMANITY LIVED IN AUTOCRATIC SOCIETIES OF VARYING SIZES AND COMPLEXITIES WITH RELATIVELY LITTLE ECONOMIC GROWTH - EXCEPT THE TIME-LIMITED GROWTH THAT IS THE BY-PRODUCT OF CONQUEST.

ONLY WITH THE ADVENT OF DEMOCRACY AND LIBERTY AND FREE MARKETS - WHEN PEOPLE ARE FREE TO PURSUE HAPPINESS AND MAKE AND BUY WHATEVER THEY WANTED TO - HAVE ECONOMIES SUSTAINABLY BLOSSOMED AND PROSPERITY BLOOMED .

WE'VE REALLY ONLY BEEN AT IT FOR A FEW HUNDRED YEARS.

AND EVERY TIME THE STATE BECOMES MORE AUTHORITARIAN, PROSPERITY SLOWS - NO MATTER IF IT'S A NIHILISTIC AND RACIST TYRANNY OR ONE THAT POSES AS A BENIGN NANNYSTATE.

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: THE NANNYSTATE IS A TYRANNICAL STATE, JUST ONE THAT POSES AS BENIGN.

NANNYSTATE POLICIES ARE EXACTLY WHAT HAS DRIVEN EUROPE INTO BANKRUPTCY BY SPENDING MONEY THEY DON'T HAVE ON POLICIES THAT DON'T ACHIEVE WHAT THEY SET OUT TO, AND SIMULTANEOUSLY SLOWING AND THEN KILL ECONOMIC GROWTH SO THAT THE COSTS OF GOVERNMENT RISE AS THEIR REVENUES DECLINE.

THERE IS ONLY ONE CURE: LIBERTY AND LIMITED GOVERNMENT.

TAKING POWER AWAY FROM CAREER POLITICIANS AND BUREAUCRATS AND THEIR CRONIES, AND RETURNING IT TO THE PEOPLE.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE.

RIGHT ON: POWER TO THE PEOPLE RIGHT ON!
