the money to pay poor is NOT TAKEN FROM RICH, its created out of thin air...backed with from promise of future ppl to pay 4 it through taxes, like all entitlements!!!! the rich have tax loopholes, middle and lower classes dont have...

Whaaaaaaaat??? He's saying Hayek has WON the debate against Keynes, Krugman, Stiglitz, Baker? He's gotta be smoking something good. The reason middle class folks can't afford the weight of the gov't is because the wealthier ones keep getting better and better at capturing ALL the excess GDP while paying out NONE of it. And yet, the tea party still defends these people. I would prefer a progressive tax system, but I'd settle for a flat tax in a heartbeat.
THIS IS WHY I CALLED YOU ALL WHITE BOYS CAUSE OUR EXCESSIVE TAXATION BY THE GOVERNMENT HAS BURDEN US WITH MORE MONEY THAN WE MAKE A YEAR. WAIT WELL THE RICH ARE NOT TAXED IN THIS DEMOCRACY SO I GUESS THAT MAKES THEM OWNER OF US IN THIS SERFDOM SOCIETY?
Hannan speaks well but he remains a member of the EU-loving Conservative party. If he is serious about the UK leaving the EU, he should leave the Conservatives and join the UK Independence Party, which is the only party that wants to get out of the EU. Until he does that, I will take everything he says with a pinch of salt.
Hannan is excellent, but not quite a Nationalist. Currently A little too laissez faire/free market on Trade and Tariff/'Import Tax' issues. Not much focused on restoring Britain's manufacturing base.
And we need to hear more from him on Pro-Family issues.
I saw some chick from a progressive group on tv saying "There are riots in london because there isnt enough govt help for the poor. So when there is no help out of work people have no other choice". Now this chick was talking about England which is a euro socialist state. So according to leftist its not socialist enough. That reminds me of Paul Krugman saying we needed "bigger Stimulus" when the first stimulus didnt work.
@shaqdaddy11 Actually it's the exact opposite. The riots in london are BECAUSE of the govt auxiliary programmes. She should ask herself (I know she won't, those people are usually clueless): who's rioting? Mostly pakis, blacks, chavs = lazy sods who don't work and suck off money from the govt. And the muslims even want to bring in the sharia law! Well they did in some parts afaik...
@plmnw iv talked with many brits who are absolutly sick of the unproductive sucking the life out of the productive citizens. But they cant do much because so many of the population is dependant on the govt.
@plmnw We had a welfare system in the 1950s, 60s and 70s and yet no riots.
The reason the riots in London took place is the lack of proper policing and proper punishments for wrongdoers. If they knew a good flogging awaited them, they might not riot in the first place.
It's easier to sell positive rights to the people than negative rights. That's why free market does not spread, even though we saw what happend in Sovjet.
@EriPages "Non-taxpaying citizens are the source for most of all socialist policies."
So when someone looses their job... they also loose their right to vote!? Your idea is naive ~exactly~ the way socialist ideas are naive. In other words, your idea is socialist. Poll taxes were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court.
If, employment = pays taxes = citizenship.
Then, unemployment = pays no taxes = a) A Serf. b) An Indentured Servant. c) A Slave.
@DOHC2L I haven't read your convo, so i might be off base. But I always thought the voter as a privilage, not a right, and thus should require at least a 1 term Community college class that would cover policy, foreign and domestic, monetary, and all the other non-pro life pro-choice, so the population can be educated somewhat. Maybe take the online class at acedemic earth on philosphy which covers political theory. At least with one term of classes on the subject, people might vote better.
@bluefootedpig "But I always thought the voter as a privilege, not a right"
Your rights do not come from government. Your rights come from God. The essential truth is that your rights are inalienable. It's because you have life, you can't stop your breathing to end your life. The breath of life cannot be denied by us, the same is true of our rights.
"At least with... people might vote better."
You have no right to dictate what other people believe, nor does the government have that right!
@DOHC2L True, from a true libertarian viewpoint, which it appears you and I share that viewpoint, I would agree. But that only really works in a society where the majority is libertarian. When you have 50%+ of the population, saying we want free money, the government must steal it from somewhere, and give it to them, which to my understanding, you would not like. But yet you allowed them to legally vote for that. So do you prevent corruption? or allow it?
@DOHC2L Sure you can allow it, corruption is very allowable. We allow it now through bribes of elected officials. Can you prevent it? maybe not 100 percent. But lets say we have a law that states, "any elected official that takes money contributions from a person is committing treason". Punishment for treason, being life in prison. So yes there still would be, but at least you would have justice, rather than what we have now, which is retirement.
@bluefootedpig "Sure you can allow it, corruption is very allowable."
No, if it was allowed, it wouldn't be corruption. There are laws against actions considered corrupt, and those laws act as a deterrent to those illegal acts. Therefore it's wrong to say those acts are "allowed" as they are illegal. Crime isn't "allowed" but crime exists regardless of it's illegality... Your argument is analogous to that situation. Corruption is neither "allowed" nor "preventable" - it's already illegal!
@DOHC2L Well, we know that making something illegal doesn't stop it. As you pointed out, it still happens. We can also see similar things with the war on drugs. The thing is, we know about corruption, we know that not only does it exist, we have investigative reporting that highlights the corruption, yet no one gets prosecuted. It is like jay-walking or riding a bike without a helmet. While illegal, a cop will not stop you. An non enforced law deters no one, and thus is acceptable but illegal.
It's not just the government. I'm no expert, but I wish the public would please educate themselves at least to the point where they can think about the implications and significance behind what the politicians are saying not just WHAT they're saying.
Its our fault. The public wants the government fix everything. We don't want to take responsibility for ouselves and there are too many of us. The constitution was not precise and clear enough in its wording - it is vague enough for politicians and justices to allow themselves to do anything they want with our money.
It really depends on where you live in Europe. Taxes in Scandinavia are pretty bad but Switzerland has lower tax rates and more economic freedom than the US. Countries like Germany and the Netherlands have the same marginal tax rates as the US. Innovation in the Netherlands, Sweden, and Germany is among the highest in the world. France and Italy on the other hand are deep in the hole. Hannan is over-simplifying Europe to sell his book. We are highly diverse sovereign nations.
@Krifko I think he was talking more about the EU as a whole. Like how nations with more prosperity end up having to pick up the nations that are poorer.
@xtremejohnny69 Yes. But you cannot speak of 'the' EU when you are talking about innovation, taxes, economic growth etc. Again, countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden have higher or comparable living standards to the US. 'Coincidently', those same countries have liberalised their economies all through the 90's. I really like Hannan, but this sales pitch is too transparent. Why isn't he directing his book to us Europeans, who supposedly need this advice more than ever?
Marx was right about one thing, communism IS a historical inevitability. It will happen. In the same way, if you live a long life and nothing else kills you cancer will.
Why? because like Communism, cancer a natural result of our human make up. However, also like cancer, it can be cut out. The process will be painfull, people WILL suffer for it in the short term, but thier grandchildren will thank them.
@Felhaven Actually, no, communism isn't inevitable. Communism is a cancer, yes. The process is painful? Well, if you call ICBMs "painful" yes it's painful.
@EltonJThe I disagree. the innate selfishness in mankind will always result in people supporting governemnt programs taht benifit them, at least in the short term. Few people are willing or able to say, "Yes i am hungry. No i don't want your food stamps."
We must cut these programs out of our system. and the only way to do this is the hard and fast way. a process of gradual reduction in socialism would take generations and allow to much time to be reversed.
We ARE serfs, and we have been for a long time. If you pay taxes you are being forced at gun point to work for the government to the amount of your taxes. Not to mention that no-one owns their house -- you are forced at gun point by the government to pay them for the privilege of. pseudo-ownership.
If you sit home waiting your turn you deserve to have your gun taken from your cold dead hands.
The Founders didn’t wait for the Brits to knock down their doors. They gathered at the green and stood up like men and they killed government employees all the way back to Boston.

I mean a lot of your ideas seem to revolve around killing other people you don't like. Are you sure it's not just your own version of tyranny you want?
This is such a good interview. To bad the Socialists in the US will just dismiss Daniel Hannan as a person that hates the poor and works for the corporations.
The money is running out because because the tax base is gone. 80,000 manufacturing facilities have been oursourced, and they took their contribution to the economy with them, including the employed americans and their contribution to the economy. It is very evident when the greenlight was turned on, during the Clinton GATT Treaty. Transnationals were give permission to leave the country, and export back to us free of charge. Their stocks went wild, but millions of workers went jobless.
They didin't mention that the wealth of the ameican middleclass is now in the coffers of Wall Street vis Transnational Corporations. Not to mention that the media has had a complete blackout on the alternatives to laissez faire free trade. The battle of ideas have not won, because they have never been presented. The founders of our republic established protectionist capitalism as our economic system. That economic system required foreign businesses to pay, for using our mkts. for retail only.
@jimbo525SE We are on the same road as the US and Europe. There are no borders for the corupt banking system, military industrial complex, big agra, big pharma etc. We have a government out of control and out of touch.
In the USA you at least have Ron Paul as a figure head for freedom, liberty and sound money, we have no one speaking out on the real issues.
How about this can we have him when you are finished with him ;-)
@richardcadbury panpiper is right. not enough cash cows would be left to milk. that would be bad news for the old folks and other government dependents.
@richardcadbury If the population goes down, all you'll have left are a bunch of old retirees and no young workers. No tax base, just a bunch of oldsters on social security.
an official public board that works with the government by holding the fire to their feet for decisions and actions taken especially when concerning special interest groups/lobbyists. it has influence by the numbers of people, represented by the working class, for the average working European/Canadian/American. the government has to answer to it's concerns. people are elected by the people. too many voices are heard by higher classes, not enough from the working class
Hannan is exactly right, im European and people that doesn't work get about the same amount of cash each month than the people who work half or part time on low wage jobs. And remember, the people on welfare get all these benefits that working people provide them with so the system is very much flawed and doomed to fail sooner or later. Dont copy us America!
@TheCluelessMan So true man. See it too often here. People are cutting their hours to part time so they fall into a lower tax bracket. Once you make less your able to spend more time with family and at the same time your eligible for state health insurance, food stamps, rental assistance, free cell phone, help with power/gas, much lower phone bill.
It's not worth working 40+ hours a week and seeing more than half of your paycheck go towards insurance, taxes, child care, gas.
@TheCluelessMan Just because they earn the same amount of money as you doesnt mean their geared towards success. Money only ensures survival not happiness which you must go look for yourself.

jimbo525SE 6 months ago
@jimbo525SE We are on the same road as the US and Europe. There are no borders for the corupt banking system, military industrial complex, big agra, big pharma etc. We have a government out of control and out of touch.
In the USA you at least have Ron Paul as a figure head for freedom, liberty and sound money, we have no one speaking out on the real issues.
How about this can we have him when you are finished with him ;-)

@richardcadbury Less tax slaves to pay for the inflated debt burden, that's what, increasing the debt burden on those remaining.

@richardcadbury panpiper is right. not enough cash cows would be left to milk. that would be bad news for the old folks and other government dependents.

@richardcadbury If the population goes down, all you'll have left are a bunch of old retirees and no young workers. No tax base, just a bunch of oldsters on social security.

an official public board that works with the government by holding the fire to their feet for decisions and actions taken especially when concerning special interest groups/lobbyists. it has influence by the numbers of people, represented by the working class, for the average working European/Canadian/American. the government has to answer to it's concerns. people are elected by the people. too many voices are heard by higher classes, not enough from the working class

Hannan is exactly right, im European and people that doesn't work get about the same amount of cash each month than the people who work half or part time on low wage jobs. And remember, the people on welfare get all these benefits that working people provide them with so the system is very much flawed and doomed to fail sooner or later. Dont copy us America!

@TheCluelessMan So true man. See it too often here. People are cutting their hours to part time so they fall into a lower tax bracket. Once you make less your able to spend more time with family and at the same time your eligible for state health insurance, food stamps, rental assistance, free cell phone, help with power/gas, much lower phone bill.
It's not worth working 40+ hours a week and seeing more than half of your paycheck go towards insurance, taxes, child care, gas.

@TheCluelessMan Just because they earn the same amount of money as you doesnt mean their geared towards success. Money only ensures survival not happiness which you must go look for yourself.
