The Cause of the Financial Crisis- Government Meddling A panel discussion featuring John Allison and Yaron Brook New York, New York September 14, 2009
Let's follow ths guy's philosophy to its natural conclusion: no police, no fire department, no public education, no FDIC, no SEC, no army, no Center for Disease Control. What a bunch of crap Allison spews.
@ltlillil You are strongly mistaken, and I would advise you not to jump to conclusions without doing any research. If you are interested in correcting your conclusion, google "principles of a free society".
I agree. And listen to what he says at 1:07-1:08--as someone else mentioned, he's such an incredible contrast to today's short-range-perspective, pragmatic business leaders!
Yes we do have our own values. And if you don't wish to deal with big companies, you are free to live without them. But when your values involve tearing down someone else's values (somoene else's business for instance), then our values clash: you are evil, and I am good. There's nothing gray about that. But beyond that, as long as you leave me be, you are free to choose your own values, or have no values at all: just don't come to me begging for welfare. Live, and die, by your own values.
I'm not an account holder at BB&T so I have a bias, but I am super excited about John Allison's retirement. I heard he plans to enter the media and politics. I seriously think he can have huge impact given his record of achievement. Anyway, I look forward to hearing more from him.
You should listen to John Allison's speech again. You will surely discover that he is speaking in the name of independence, and against slavery. There is a lot of bullshit out there and it is no wonder you don't want to hear anyone speak of values, but the values John Allison are very important if you are interested in bettering your life. You should obviously choose your own values, but you could get a head start by listening to people wiser than yourself.
