    IF WE MUST HAVE GOVERNMENT LETS HAVE RATIONAL GOVERNMENT

    “We know personal accounts work because we’ve seen them work successfully in Chile and Galveston, Texas.

    In 1981, Chileans were given the option of a personal Social Security account. Within a year and a half, a whopping 93% of workers transitioned from the government-run system to personal accounts. In 30 years, because of the power of compound interest, Chileans who opted for personal accounts have retired with two to three times more money than what they would have received from traditional Social Security. Chile also guaranteed that if an individual’s personal account dropped below the minimum amount the government would make up the difference. In 30 years, they have never had to write a single check.

    The experience in Galveston, Texas mirrors that of Chile: A system that transfers control of retirement decisions from bureaucrats to workers ultimately yields much higher returns than traditional Social Security could ever provide.” – Gingrich.

    http://www.capitalismv3.com/2012/03/29/on-the-complexity-of-philosophical-arguments-and-the-problem-of-conservative-and-progressive-discourse/CURT, WHY DON”T YOU WRITE MORE SIMPLY?

    Simplicity comes from the statement of first principles. Philosophizing itself is a messy, tedious and abstract process which is an effort to deduce those first principles. And, while most philosophy concerns itself with the infinite regress analysis of social norms — which are things we can perceive with our senses — when we consider the subjects of politics and political economy, which consist entirely of things we cannot perceive with our senses, the complexity of philosophical inquiry into economics and politics becomes nearly as difficult as the process of inquiry into metaphysics. I’m sorry. it’s just a complicated problem by its nature.

    http://lewrockwell.com/north/north1108.htmlNEVER REJECT A SUPERIOR MILITARY TECHNOLOGY

    The right has learned from the left. The left hates it. The problem is, that the right views these tactics as dishonorable. THey intuitively reject the ethics of the bazaar, in favor of the ethics of chivalry.

    And that is the right’s vulnerability.

    Never reject a superior technology.

    http://www.ted.com/talks/paul_gilding_the_earth_is_full.htmlTHE EARTH IS FULL

    Silly Progressive dependency upon Ponzi growth. Silly Progressive assumption about ‘creativity’. Our prosperity today is dependent almost entirely upon two technologies: fossile fuels and antibiotics.

    The problem is not growth, it’s productivity. And that’s why the conservative social and economic structures are superior.
