I am pleased to have one of my favorite economists talking about the philosophical principles of the man who did for capitalism as much as Karl Marx did for socialism.

@fzqlcs No wait... I think I just converted to capitalism. I thought I was thinking for myself, but now I see I was brainwashed by leninists like Obama. They're fucking evil and want to turn the world into a huge Gulag. You're right. Market good, state bad. Thank you, friend. I just saw the light.

@ElenaXVI Laissez-faire capitalism is a timeless principle, like reason, liberty and justice. It is simply the principle that you and I can make a transaction without having to gain permission (licensing and regulation) from a third party (govt). It would allow you, for example, to transport folks for money with having to buy a taxi license. Economic liberty is as relevant an idea now as it was in Adam Smith's day. Government's only role should be to provide a court system to settle disputes.
All little kids that like Noam Chomsky should go watch one of his crappy pseudo-intellectual videos like good indoctrined communists that they are. Do us all a favor, quit trolling, start conversations in places and sites that were made for people to discuss such issues in depth, not a video-related site.
The same goes to all those who answer the flamers. Do not feed the troll people.

@MultiSmartass1 The way that you can make false conclusions amazes me. First of all, WE STAND FOR LIBERTY AND LIBERTY IS A CONCEPT VERY TANGIBLE . Go and lock yourself in cell for 6 months than come back here and post if Liberty is tangible or not.
