    MINIMUM WAGE LAWS ARE EUGENIC

    I just became a fan of high minimum wages. Immigration isn’t really very useful if low wage jobs are forced into the black market, and unskilled labor can’t find ANY work.

    UKRAINIAN DEFAULT

    “In order to prevent a default, someone is going to have to give Ukraine a bunch of money.

    It seems small minded to worry about dollars and cents in a revolution-like scenario, but Ukraine’s economy is a shambles and is only going to get worse in the short term. Even with the ongoing chaos in Kiev, Yanukovych recently took a trip to China to sign some trade agreements and to try to arrange a desperately needed short-term injection of cash. That a president would leave while his government did not fully control the capital city should give some indication as to just how dire the situation is.

    However the China deal, while helpful, won’t be sufficient for Ukraine’s short and medium-term financing needs. Some entity (the EU, the IMF , or Russia) is going to need to provide Ukraine with a sizable amount of financing, but there are obvious political constraints that bind each actor. The EU won’t help Yanukovych so long as he stalls on the association agreement, the IMF is unlikely to help unless the Ukrainian government promises to get serious about economic reform, and the Russians won’t pay a dime unless Ukraine fully scuttles any talk of an association agreement with the EU. I’d be lying if I said I knew exactly how this would play out, but this is one of the most important questions facing Ukraine at the moment and it seems as if it’s being almost entirely ignored by most media coverage.”

  • BUDGET OFFICE: Top……40% Paid 106.2% of Income Taxes; Bottom 40% Paid -9.1%..

    Top……40% Paid 106.2% of Income Taxes;

    Bottom 40% Paid -9.1%…

    AND……Got an average of $18,950 in ‘Transfers’

    Of course, my preference is that we just GAVE THEM CASH rather than ‘transfers’. And it’s their preference too I assume.

    WHAT THE H___ IS WRONG WITH MISES INSTITUTE?

    Rhetorical question. I know the answer.

    –Give. Up. On. The. Jewish. Model–

    It’s a proven failure. It hasn’t worked for the jews. It’s let do their persecution. The public hates it because they intuit correctly that it’s immoral. And logically it can’t work. We must pay high costs to hold land and create property rights, and Rothbard all but ignored moral costs, just like progressives do. Moral and social capital are the most important wealth that all material wealth drives from.

    I mean, are you stuck in 1965 or something? Beat the dead horse? Beat it some more? Do you feel that you’ve vanquished the dead horse?

    It’s like some kid with a paper hat and cardboard sword standing over his sister’s teddy bear. I mean, the family will clap at the charade and all, but you can’t really keep grasping at childhood faux heroism.

    Socialism is a non issue. Marxism is a non issue. We are facing state CORPORATISM, not some WW2 Era philosophy. Where marxists failed, Postmodernists and Totalitarian humanists have succeeded by redefining morality – even while consumer capitalism has succeeded.

    GIVE IT UP. ROTHBARD FAILED. JOIN THE 21ST CENTURY.

    Do you wanna know why you can’t raise money? Wrong century. The source of liberty was always and only aristocratic egalitarianism. They invented it the nurtured and evolved it. And they spread it around the world. Property is a construct. It is made. And it is made by an armed militia who demands it at the point of a blade or the barrel of a gun.

    But it wasn’t articulated,it wasn’t written down as a system, which is why it remained dynamic. And Aristocratic peoples (conservatives) still don’t understand it.

    No high-trust people desirous of liberty will ever accept Rothbard’s ethics. EVER, because they are in fact, the immoral ethics of the high-fraud low-trust society. PERIOD. They are the ethics of the bazaar and the ghetto. It’s an outright lie, and now a demonstrated empirical falsehood, that market forces are sufficient to suppress fraud, fraud by omission, externalization of costs, free riding and various rent seeking schemes too numerous to mention.

    MOVE FORWARD. LEAVE THE LOW TRUST SOCIETY BEHIND.

    I moved on because I realized it’s not possible to help you.

    You need to move on too, before you can’t raise a dime.

    The market has tested and discarded the ideology.

    The market has proven it a failure.

    Move on.

    Otherwise thirty years plus of hard work will have been wasted.
