@cooljoeshmo Check the record - Austrians were the only economists en mass to have called the current crisis (amongst most others) and provided coherent explanations backed up by history.

@cooljoeshmo You obviously stopped listening to this lecture 10 minutes in. What your saying is completely false. The factors that you describe are SYMPTOMS of the problem. You miss the point entirely. These SYMPTOMS would fizzle out without the federal reserve pouring gasoline in the flames. Woods gives plenty of facts to back this account.

Tom Woods for Ron Paul 2012

[CaptainSkeletor]

I am so happy that I can take part of this information. Internet is a wonderful thing! And it is so sad that Americas all knowing good government wants to regulate it. So end these idiots in charge and vote for Ron Paul! For real change!

Lots of superfluous, name calling, and quite ignorant type flapping here that does not forward any intelligent discussion. Really...

Very, very good speech

@jbz0131 Why are you so nosy?

[jbz0131]

@malkooth I find it funny that you, in the same sentence call someone a bigot and a faggot. I find it funny that you tell people to get an education when EVERY thing you say is just a bunch of vulgarity and lacks any sort of logical argument, all while using horrible grammar and spelling. Learn to write properly and perhaps know the first thing about the topic you are discussing before acting like you actually have something to say. Kthnx..

@tadaa11 If you want to see a irrational basis for fear of communism read Male Fantasies by Klaus Thewleit. Hard to find but well worth it for the honest person.

@malkooth I dont know what system you like, but they ultimately take from capitalism. Closed communist systems progress slowly and don't provide the productivity needed to create the standard of living that most people are accustomed too. You can get around this by taking over businesses in a place like America. The best system in my opinion is local government, because you can control them. I'll check it out

@tadaa11 BTW fuck Christianity. 

[malkooth]

@tadaa11 Fuck the central bank I'm with you on that but the lead into Libertarianism is bullshit. That is fucked and will not work. You do not understand that all your fizzle about property rights innovation etc only gets fucked up the ass by criminals either in central banking or corporate power. Watch The Mayfair Set and get back to me. It is on YouTube.
