Under British rule, Hong Kong had no democracy. But it did have a fair, flat tax rate on salaries. Not corporate income.
Their saving grace, they didn't have the option of voting for favors from the government. Individuals nor Corporations. But the British citizens did. So by the end of British rule, the tiny colony's wealth per capita exceeded those of its colonizer. They are probably the most prosperous, peaceful and most free people on earth. The Brits got favors. And debt.
I assume the references to Milton Freidman's economics killing people has to do with Chile. The economic policies didn't kill people. Pinochet did. The economic policies made Chile prosperous. Communists didn't like that. Pinochet didn't like them.
@ThomasTalionis What kind of Crack do you smoke??? Thats total BS and you know it. Only 'Beckers' would belive what you say about Chile. FYI- Chile, Argentina, Russia, Poland, Sir Lanka, Bolivia and a Doz more have failed under the Free Market. To talk like that about Chile (Lie) shows that you are full of it. Are you paid to pump Bullshit on YT???
@ThomasTalionis Is it a contest??? Or is Socialism a word the Asses on the right toss out to scare those that have not picked up a book since grade school ??
Retreat TT, you are no match. Go back to the radio, the CEOs want to bend you over some more.
@ThomasTalionis Its a shame he kept telling Pinochet to shock the people with more reforms. The more shocks, the more they starved and fought back. Of course, then Pinochet killed more. Retreat Sir, MFE is being refused all over the world.
@ThomasTalionis People became radical after the army removed Allende with a shit load of CIA money and help. They killed the radicals as fast as they could.
Why do you defend MFE ? What does it do for the people ? The filthy rich get richer, the middle class gets smaller, the poor get smashed, prisons fill, crime increases, class war developes. If you are filthy rich, I understand.
@rickbar123 Allende gained the popular vote by stealing private companies and land and dividing it up amongst 'the people' in exchange for votes. He also drastically raised the wages of gov. workers compared to private workers using the gov's stolen money. Even labor unions went on strike to protest Allende replacing them with gov workers. Class Warfare and gov take-over radicalized people. After the coup, the only economists not loyal to Allende were educated in Chicago.
@ThomasTalionis "After the coup" Allende was dead. The Economist after the coup were all from Chicago and loyal to Pinochet. All other Economist were killed. That is a hallmark of Friedman Economics, kill those that do not agree. Under MFE you lose freedom unless you are rich.
@ThomasTalionis You never will. It does not work on its own, it does not work at the point of a gun. It must be held up to systems that have failed as well, then it gets held up with words like freedom and choice, apple pie. But it is still a dog. Read- The Shock Doctrine or The Money Kept Rolling In (Argentina)
@ThomasTalionis Chile just had an earth quake. The USA wanted to step in and help. We were told no thanks. All they would take from us were a few sat cell phones and some hospital equip. Any aid from America is tied to MFE deals. Chile has learned its lession. Bush was sent home from South America with nothing. He wanted to expand MFE, SA said NO THANKS.
@ThomasTalionis The people loved him. The only ones that hated him were the rich and American Companys stealing from the people (ITT). If it was not for the CIA he would never have been killed. If you think labor unions were out to harm Allende, you have hit the crack pipe again. Kick my comments upstairs, post what they tell ya.
@ThomasTalionis Look what MFE is doing to America. Wages are flat, we ship jobs to workers that make 20cents/hr, private contractors that get paid dbl what gov workers do, 30- 40 million with no health care, major income divide, no energy plan. Hell, this is a MFE wet dream. Why defend that??
@rickbar123 The Alliance For Progress was pumping billions of US tax dollars into Chile's development. That stopped when Allende started looting American and other foreign companies. Allende's looting and protectionism also led to Chile being blacklisted from foreign credit. Believe it or not, some people in Chile didn't like the direction Allende was taking the country. Again, I can think of at least one.
@ThomasTalionis The AFP was a CIA backed (at the request of ITT and other American Companys) Right Wing front. It's goal was to undermine a freely elected President. Only the rich did not like the direction. Classic Right Wing BS TT. Reverse what happened and hope that those who never pick up a book will side with you.
@ThomasTalionis I will make it easy for you. Go get your library card and spend a few years reading about the world. Using a Right Wing fact sheet to argue on YT is a joke. Retreat Sir.
@ThomasTalionis Hold on now Brother. She is pushing Milton Freidman Economics. MFE has caused loss of freedom all over the world. Millions are dead thanks to MFE. It never works, anyplace. The Right Wing had total control over Siapan and Iraq. Both countrys are now fully screwed.
so according to Pia varma, "the history of man has always been the struggle between two ideas - bigger govt. vs. smaller govt. ". .. nice, I didn;t know that. maybe we all need to go back and take history lessons again. Enlightening little talk there. Her interpretation of Plato and Aristotle and what they were about was breathtaking. We battled monarchy, communism, nazism, maoism... and now sadly we have to do battle with such imbecility.
@ThomasTalionis A right winger that wants a small Gov. Small, weak Gov can not protect the people from the greed of big corporations. They want little or no laws to govern the actions of the corporation. A NC thinks the corporation is the customer of Gov not the people. They think the corporation should get all the breaks, screw the public.
@rickbar123 You are describing Corporatism. Which Ron Paul recently accused Obama of being.
FDR's New Deal was the Corporate-State where the government would bundle corporations into cartels to control all facets; prices, supply, wages, etc. for the benefit of all. The Italian word for bundle is "fascio" as in "fascism." The result was a deeper economic spiral.
No one should be getting favors from the government. Wackiness ensues.
@rickbar123 Perhaps you are not familiar with Obama's bailout? Or his family's friend Tim Geithner using AIG as a front to funnel money to Goldman Sachs? And now using Goldman, which is essentially a wing of the Democratic Party, to strengthen the merger of Corporation and State.
@rickbar123 Talionis' recommended reading, Mobs, Messiahs and Markets. Nothing partisan about that one.
If you can make it through the 10,000 pages of Atlas Shrugged you will see that the enemy is Fascism AKA the Corporate-State AKA Corporatism and you to will call for the Separation of Business and State. For it is an unholy union.
It's not a bullshit lie sister. Reagan started the movement for federal takeover of family law that resulted in the legal destruction of the institution of marriage. Lawsuits were filed on Constitutional grounds, but the 9th Circuit Appellate Court (San Francisco, etc.) established the precedent that Congress has the power to legislate the Constitution out of existence so long as there's lots of money being spread around. That opened the flood gates and Constitutional rule collapsed.
dude just stop that wasnt Reagan that did that it was Jimmy Carter that done all that. Like I said get your fact stright and quit listening to the left wing media nd schools about subject such as this as they want to erase history.
I have now become disappointed with Pia Varma. She is a fan of Ron Paul, and just about any supporter of Ron Paul is an antisemite, just like he is. whether Pia Varma is an antisemite herself, or simply does not care that Ron Paul is an antisemite, it is very disheartening
so typical of shitler-loving antisemites, theevagabond has nothing good to say about the Jewish State of Israel, and nothing bad to say about the 57 islamofascist dictatorships
So... because I support someone who just thinks America shouldn't be involved with Israel... I am Hitler's buddy? You don't see the complete hypocrisy of your statements? The idiocy of simplifying one's arguement to rationalize them as some racist or against a broad scope of things from one simple viewpoint. You're the Hitler, fool.
Free markets aren't the problem. It's the lack of punitive retribution for the liars and thieves existing in (and most obviously at the head of) such an economic layout that is the problem. We now have bloated government in control of roughly 60% of the American auto industry, carefully contrived with precision, completely bought and paid for with play money printed by the private federal reserve system that you and I are now responsible for indefinitely. It's an American coup, nothing less.
She fucked up by buying into his trap and she bit the apple. NO, we have not evolved or changed. WE ARE STILL WE THE PEOPLE AND "WE" HAVE TO CHANGE TO OBEY THE CONSTITUTION, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. Wish I was their to help her...
Your the dumb bitch who doesnt realize or because you've had your head up your ass or in the sand for so long that you dont realize that our FREEDOMS have and are being taken from US. Wake up, idiot! If u don't, YOU are part of the problem.
yes, although i feel disappointed and sad to admit that she has decided to ignore me. why is it that women like bad boys and have only contempt for nice men to lavish compliments on them?
...and how about you start showing a little respect for women, you pottymouthed little scum. You can start by eliminating that word from your Beavis & Butthead-level vocabulary. And yes, I concur with nakedBison69 that you are indeed a liar. Or are your ears as plugged as your rational faculty?
