Krugman? The same Krugman who not only failed to predict the economic collapse but encouraged more of the insane policies that caused it? I hope 1234 is correct and this is satire, because I can only laugh at it. :D

[economicsjunkie]

@heavenlyboy34 Yep, THAT Krugman! :)

great satire

great video, great points. All the angry Lib's can scream and shout at the evidence history has provided on what happens to markets that are controlled by 1%

Do some research on vulgar libertarianism and thin libertarianism. And then do some research of the leftist origins of libertarianism.

@economicsjunkie, statists stand to Gov't as a gorillas stand to their feeders. There is how much intelligence.

Ya, I did try humor and even more, I have observed how effective it is when others are using it. It doens't move people, in any direction. All you get out with irony is: "what I'm saying is not important".

[economicsjunkie]

@Idol2011no I couldn't disagree more, I think these people are for the most part pretty intelligent. I mean, for one, they have a whole lot of power over us. If they were really so dumb, then one could argue that we are actually complete retards =)

[economicsjunkie]

@Idol2011no Well, I would say that in my experience arguing with people, that humor can go a long way in letting someone's defenses down. I'm all for honesty and truth, but it helps to prepare a cozy comfy bath for people before hitting them with hard facts. Have you ever tried that? Has it not worked in your experience?

[Idol2011no]

@quantumG, no, which you should be able to read into my text if you were not that lazy, or dumb. All though we do understand irony, I must say we prefer straight shooters. Irony is dishonest and usually an output from people who are too lazy to learn to argue reasonable to support his position, which in the end is always more effective.

@Idol2011no wow, you're a deadshit. It's called "satire". Do you Americans need a big blinking sign that says IRONY on the wall or what?

[Idol2011no]

2) @economicsjunkie: What they see is a single set of lift of regulation resulting in severe damage, believing it's possible to come to true conclusion from a few events. When using irony you're assuming there is a reasonable brain on the other side, the fact rather quite the oposite consider they in fact support steal- and share mentality and legalized force against the innocents will be in favour to them, they who are so called weak. They are dumb fucks, far too dumb to get info though irony.

1) @economicsjunkie. alright then, assume your tube is a wave riding sarcasm and I would understand this if I listen it though. Then your argument must be: "Hey, you libertarian critics, your claim deregulation doesn't work is invalid because we never tried it", which is a strong and valid argument. Sadly I just don't think you get though to dumb fucks which includes Democrats, Republicans and liberals. %

@19TEC85 Very nice! :)
