By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 21:18:59
Agreed. The problem is, for this gentleman's vision to come true, such a thing must occur. A political class (like the unelected EU commission who? have not been elected by their representatives) must come to the fore of society. He may call the opposite of his vision hyperindividualism but outside of voluntary exchange is to argue that some visions are more worthy than others, but who decides what is worthy?

By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 21:00:54

By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 20:52:36
Sorry I don't really understand this idea of objective merit. Do you mean to state an individual's personality traits or abilities? Individual talent is not what I mean. The problem I had with mikefavre35 is that he seems to suggest that individualistic goals (with or without talents) should be ignored if it conflicts with his vision (and individual vision which he doesn't define) because he apparently knows best. To do such a thing requires an arbiter of which choices are good and not good.?

My initial ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 18:30:56
My initial statement was intended to convey the notion that some people have a stronger tendency than others to rise to the top in society. It does not necessarily mean that those who reach equal position have equal quality, but rather that the likelihood for some to reach such position is greater than for others. Next, I intended to state that it is useless to consider any notion of? "merit" other than that already observable by natural motion of people in society, because yes, it doesn't matter

I have been ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 18:25:00
I have been referring to two separate concepts of? merit: subjective merit, which is a value judgment made by a person with reference to another person, which we obviously agree is entirely subjective; and objective merit, which could be defined as the natural tendency of a person to rise to the top in any given environment -- a quality of an individual which can be derived by observing the individual's movement in his environment, irrespective of interpretation. Apologies for the confusion.

You said, in the ...
By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 18:12:18
You said, in the beginning. "Some people are better than others." Then you say, "Merit will tell on its own" and now you are suggesting that merit does not matter because it will not stop men (which I don't? disagree with because men are self-interested). it sounds like a non sequitur to me. Your initial statement was, "some people are better than others," I argue the subjectivity of that statement and of merit and then you say it doesn't matter?

That's my point. ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 18:03:52
That's my point. You may think one man's success is less merited than another's, but the men who built these empires do not ask for your opinion nor anyone else's. And this is right and proper, in accordance with the basic? principles your nation was built on.

Here is an example. ...
By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 17:26:10
Here is an example. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. Bill Gates has often been the poster boy for unmerited success, yet he has treated his business partners and workers in? far better terms than that of Steve Jobs. Yet Steve Jobs was lionized and hailed as a great man though he often tricked his business partners and squeezed out competitors far more than Gates. If merit was self-evident then people would in fact see that his success could be viewed as unmerited. Ideas of merit are subjective.

Merit is observed ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 16:39:13
Merit is observed in the level of success a person is able to achieve for himself. Any other observation of merit can only have subjective meaning. I would not distinguish between a man who is able to work but does not, and a man who is not? able to work, because neither produces any value from my perspective. Subsistence wage is paid to avoid having such people starve in the streets and committing violence out of desperation, not because it is merited.

Merit does require ...
By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 15:41:48
Merit does require an arbiter because you may see something that has merit and another may not. Please, if merit is self-evident give me an example of its self-evidence? Merit is a judgement call on does someone deserve something or not. As an example, if a man does not work, but is able to then does he merit having any kind of subsistence wage if he has not contributed??

Merit will tell? on ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 15:32:53
Merit will tell? on its own. If your definition of it requires an arbiter, then it is already subject to perspective. That way socialism lies.

So who shall define ...
By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 15:16:31
So who shall define who deserves merit or? not?

And how do you ...
By: lolzarfoomeister. on 22 May 12, 14:37:12
And how do you delineate the concept of violence? Systematic violence exists? without a physical manifestation. Your morality would approve of me fighting an oppressive system, but not attacking you for "looking at me in a funny way". The problem with morality is that is subjective and hazily defined. As well, "wanting" and "approving" are subjective concepts. Inhibition is in some cases necessary to protect the freedom of other individuals. Personal quality is the only true merit.

Who shall define ...
By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 14:32:00
Who shall define who is and is not a better sort of person? My only moral criterion is that the INITIATION of violence is wrong. To initiate violence against another person is to attack them when the victim has not physically harmed the attacker. This rule is a trait among almost all civilizations from the most ancient to? the most modern. Violence is wrong because it allows people to inhibit individual liberty and coerce people into situations they do not want or approve of.

By: goingalt. on 22 May 12, 04:45:32

By: WheelsRCool. on 17 May 12, 04:25:11
I'm not saying the U.S. was socialist, but within the field of economics at the time, it was believed socialism was the best way to go. Friedman was rather radical for the time in his criticism of socialism and Keynesianism. Certain of his ideas were unrealistic, but in comparison to the socialists and Keynesians, he was very much? a realist. He was a great research economist and very good at pointing out many of the flaws in the assumption that government can fix society that the left had.

By: TeaPartyTerroristss. on 13 May 12, 22:28:17
Can you identify which "arguments" he actually made in the first place? If you can, were they actually valid, or were they rather based on hyperbole & stock pr-fabricated libertarian talking-points based on straw men & other logical fallacies? I seriously don't see any valid arguments he made to me.? He didn't even bother to answer my question with regard to central planning. For 30 yrs, the interface between modern politics & economics has generally been one that generally promotes Friedmanism.

By: TeaPartyTerroristss. on 13 May 12, 22:23:43
I'm not confusing anything. I know Friedman was more practical than your typical Ron Paul type of fanatic who usually also embraces conspiracy theories, whether they'll admit it or not, in addition to what's essentially free market anarchy. Friedman's ideas are still unrealistic though. I think you're? being a bit over-simplistic in characterizing which era Milton Friedman came from. It's very disingenuous to assert that the United States was in any way socialist, even during Friedman's time

By: WheelsRCool. on 12 May 12, 09:15:46
Don't confuse the Ron Paul-style Libertarian Party libertarians with the small-L libertarians/classical liberals like Friedman. They are very different. Also, remember that Friedman was from an era in which socialism was considered the way to? organize an economy and the future, and government intervention in the economy in all forms was generally considered good.

By: LeMonsieurPlankton. on 30 Apr 12, 10:56:59

He jugdes upon the value of their skills but not of the service. If the community wants to have clean? streets they have to pay the amount of money that maintaines the ongoing of that service.

By: realtalker2012. on 11 May 12, 18:26:09
Most people invest their money in mutual funds and other very LOW risk investments. Only very? wealthy people can afford to make these risky investments for a number of reasons. High risk investment practices pay out exponentially larger returns to those with more money. People with a lot of money can also afford to lose some in the case of the investment turning to dogshit. The middle class American (unfortunately, there arent many of these anymore) can't afford to lose that much money.

But, like I said ...
By: realtalker2012. on 11 May 12, 18:18:30
But, like I said earlier, the risk involved in their investment's is irrelevant. And yes most people are decidedly conservative about their investments. Im an analyst at a fairly large fund for high networth invidividuals. We measure risk in investments and these people know how risky we are. They are young and old. But the difference here is, they are all very wealthy. The average Joe would never invest money in as risky ways as these? people do, because relatively they have much more to lose.

Milton never said ...
By: realtalker2012. on 11 May 12, 18:13:52
Milton never said no one would ever invest. He said people would have a much lesser incentive to invest if all of their money was going to be taken from them when they die. They might as well budget the rest of their lives to end up with zero assets at the time of? their death. Of course people will still invest, but it wont benefit the economy as much as it would if this tax didn't exist. There would be a dead-weight loss to the economy.

There are? countless funds abound specifically for people nearing their retirement age, which the free market has created to cater towards their wants. My point was that Milton's justification, on the specific point of no one ever investing, is ridiculous... and you havent convinced me otherwise.

By: realtalker2012. on 11 May 12, 04:13:26
Most people are conservative about their investments throughout? their entire life. The risk involved in their investing is irrelevant. The fact that they are investing at all is what is important. A 100% estate tax what act as an incentive to blow all your money before you die. Not only is a 100% estate tax completely unconstitutional, it forces people to be more accountable to their government than to their families and friends, which under form of law is morally unacceptable.

Well you answered a question for which I didn't pose the question. Nice straw man. Then you threw in nonesense about Solyndra. Hmm I wonder if your comment was pre-loaded. LOL. The point is, with a 100% estate tax the only time there would be less investment, would in? fact be in late age, which is already when a huge percentage is put into extremely low risk investments already. Milton made it sound like all investment at any age would cease, which is just hyperbolic sillyness.

Are you serious?? ...
By: SamboInYoFace. on 06 May 12, 20:32:36
Are you serious?? Is this a serious question? If I was rich and I couldn't pass along my wealth, I would *most certainly* blow all my money on useless consumption in my old age. Why wouldn't I, is the more legitimate question. Should I want my money to be passed along to Solyndra (Google it), as opposed? to my children? Then where will the money come from to lend out to productive businesses, if all the savings are being used for consumption? How will capitol formation come about?

Your comment makes no sense to what I said. What I said is based? in fact. Fact is fact. Facts aren't extreme they are simply truths. Regarding having government rule over people, you are wrong; however, the desire to control others and for individuals to obtain obsolute power will persist and this is what we need to work on. The mafia group called government doesn't have to perform the functions that they do. Competition is always the perfered form of anyone commisioned to do a job or task

That's not true. Failures aren't always caused by "corporatism," or in effect, cash subsidies, but that is not a failure of capitalism, but of the subsidy. But there are real market failures, but Friedman? talks about them, but also reminds you of the government failures as well. Your definition of "capitalism" is simply wrong.

2% is not that bad; and i doubt that Bernanke is going to be booted; he's not the only one on the board; he is just the chairman. Is it really Bernanke's fault that congress spends more than they take in which increases our need for credit to pay for everything; and then once the US's credit reaches? it's limit.. Does the fed have a choice to print money or not in that situation? The answer is they can either lay off government services or the have to print money in order to pay for it.

By: NoProbaloAmigo. on 10 Apr 12, 04:48:55
I think monetary policy is indirectly influenced by congress, and by extension, the citizens. A quick test is? to see how easy it would be to get an avowed monetarist chosen by a president and confirmed by the Senate. The one closest to that would be Paul Volcker. Short term interest rates, going by Bill Gross' estimates should be at least 2%, that would be damaging at the least to Obama short term, and Bernanke would be booted!

Also, welfare is for families, not singles or youngsters. 2. As far as factories go, most are automated today, so wages are not nearly as big a factor as they used to be.

By: chechitopaisa. on 22 Mar 12, 23:18:11
1. Because the welfare system ensures that things keep on that way. Handouts discourage many black youngsters from engaging in hard work jobs illegal Hispanics are willing to do, especially because they are not part of the welfare system. Being a Hispanic, I can tell you. 2. That is because the minimum wage and other harmful policies discourage wealthy people from investing in factories/agriculture, making investing? in the financial market far more profitable. The government seems not to learn.

By: Hwy6AandM0. on 05 Mar 12, 19:52:16
Friedman's points are questionable. 1, High unemployment among young African-Americans is caused by something besides the minimum wage and poor schooling. If not, then why have millions of poorly-educated Hispanics gotten those jobs. 2, Wealthy people? invest in lots of things -- stocks, bonds, gold, derivatives, mortgages, currencies, art, jewelry, antiques, etc. Some create jobs, some don't. The idea that the wealthy invest heavily in factories is out of the industrial era.

Friedman is an economist from the "Chicago School" of economics Ron Paul, Ayn Rand, Murray Rothbard, Lew Rockwell. Ludwig von Mises, are all from the "Austrian School" of economics... The main difference between the two schools is that the Chicago School is not consistent in it's call for economic freedom on the "Macro Economic" (Money, Tariffs, Eminent domain) while the Austrian School is. For instance the Chicago School promotes the Carbon Tax along with the Koch's.?

According to my infallible calculations, the only solution to all of Europe's problems is increased bureaucracy. We need more unnecessary laws, enforced and administrated by more unnecessary administrators. The more harmful the laws,? the more laws we need to keep people quiet about all the ills done to them by the unnecessary and harmful laws. This way, we can employ 60% of the population as bureaucrats and the rest as their slaves. Slaves can't be unemployed, so that's the end of unemployment.

Also Africa does not have that massive population, that Asia does. No---? you are wrong productivity does not drive wage increases. Americans have increased productivity by 200% and American labor has not gotten a raise. Matter of fact when they were placed in direct competition with 4 billions Asians who will work for pennies, wages became lower.

By: louiethegreater. on 28 Feb 12, 17:45:57
Clinton, did not do the things you describe because, that would have thrown the U.S. into third world conditions to quickly. You should be aware of course that that is the globalist plan for us, but they knew that outsourcing manufacturing would eventually produce the same result. Doing things to quickly might arouse the american? people, and we might actually, through revolution take our country back from the elitist who plan third world status for us.

That is pure bull, all corporate taxes could end, all regulation could end, and corporations will not return to the U.S. Here's why: the U.S. worker cannot compete with .57/hr labor.? The Wall Street wealth is being created off the backs of third world workers. The only thing that can happen is, through globalization: equilibrium in wages, lifestyles, and upward mobility can be reached. Again you are poorly taught and your non thinking, assumption that the U.S. will regain her

By: louiethegreater. on 28 Feb 12, 17:13:51
No, No. NO you are wrong, you have been hoodwinked by the Hayek crowd. Listen real close, if you? are capable--- The research of the Rand Corporation coupled with the ideology that markets should order society, is based on the game theories, developed during the cold war, by men like John Nash. The self interest theory or greed is good theory is based on the assumption that all people will always act in their own self interest. Which is a false premise, people do not.

By: louiethegreater. on 28 Feb 12, 14:53:35
No you are wrong businesses are leaving because they were given permission to. When Bill Clinton signed the GATT agreement in 1994, and gave China permanent MFN status, that completed the destruction of the American economy. He gave U.S. Fortune 500 Companies permission to leave the country, manufacture in the third world, and ship back to the US free of charge. The GATT agreement gave America's greatest companies the most powerful incentives pack up an leave ?

Does that sound like they have nationalized their economy. HEY did you say they were cutoff from all global markets. Those comments are as stupid as the $11.00 glass of coke. France is Europe's second largest economy, dingbat. Hay dingbat how did you ever get protectionism confused with the nationalization of our economy.

By: bachy100. on 12 May 12, 08:01:21
Hayek's work was certainly not "overreaction." Strong arguments can & have been made that Hayek, especially in the Road to Serfdom, was too accomodating to statists/collectivists. He conceded too much; assuming for the sake of argument that any concessions needed to be made at all. Ditto for Friedman & the? monetarists on this subject. He concedes too much to the inflationists. He is too accomodating. Underreaction, if anything. Mises & the Austrian school got it right, on the issue of money.

I agree. another thing that academics point is that prices in the 20´s were constant and didn´t rise or fall, they were stable. What the fail to consider is that although there was price stability, that didnt meant that there hasn´t been inflation. Prices didn´t skyrockted because there was a lot of productivity in the US at that time, so the productivity neted out the inflation. Also the Fed in the 20´s fix the interest rates to low and that was? a cause of the Buisiness Cycle and the GD.

By: Andersll11. on 01 May 12, 18:39:55
Even though I'm a huge fan of Friedman, I'd have to disagree with his view on the great depression and go with the Austrians. The deflation wasn't the reason of the GD but a consequence. The Fed expanded the money supply during the 20's, but since the dollar was pegged to gold, it had? to go back to the same level when it busts.(or meet half way as FRD did in 1933 with the confiscation and price jump) Am-I-rite?

There are many way to? impose a tax on pollution emission. Cap and Tax is one way. The other way is forcing automakers to install a $500 catalytic converter on every car and requiring a person to take their car in and pay for emissions testing. Just like you have to do today.

In that instance, Friedman switched from advocating for emission controls to arguing? against clean air systems. You need to be on your toes.

The government subsidized real estate loans in the market which lowered the risk which caused an artificial market to be created.

Real monopoly in USA? Tax Exempt Religious Hospitals... mostly Catholic. They publically follow Vatican. They economically control many small/medium cities. They USE that control to stack the courts and via the 'old boys and girls of the same faith' network managed to turn Eugene Oregon into a DEATHCAMP OPERATION. THANK U VATICAN... AGAIN!?

A bill can say "Hurricane Katrina Relief" and if you Look at that as just one 'little' example...it is a general rollback of various environmental laws...the list is Endless on what they shoved into that "bill".

Sorry sir but this is nonsense. I ( living in Britain ) am experiencing that the big four ( Tesco , Asda etc... ) are abusing their status to raise prices rather? than lower them . Only through the appearance of European big hitters such as Aldi and LIDL have I as a consumer been able to experience some form of free market which never the less remains limited as I can only effectively choose between two competing oligolopolies rather than from a variety of choices.

By: ChachiTelevision1979. on 21 May 12, 18:03:33
The only reason why people keep confusing "capitalism" with "corporatism" is because another way to phrase the latter is "CRONY-capitalism," so the confusion is more likely to happen. Unfortunately, people aren't doing? the research before complaining...Michael Moore is the perfect example of that. He thinks they're all one and the same.

@sunnyboyX89 Yes, but that's by being a good company, making good marketing and business? decisions, and having a good product/service that a lot of people want. How is that greedy? That's called 'earning your money'. Real capitalistic companies don't rely on handouts and bailouts. That's not capitalism. That's more closely related so socialism.

Which politicians would they bribe in order to get a tarrif or some other form of protection? This is not? retorical, I'm expecting an answer. This is not a chicken and egg situation.

@sunnyboyX89 You seem to not understand what the word? power means. The capitalists as you call them are powerless without the government. Just because they have money does not mean they have power. They only have power because there are powerful politicians they can buy off. The capitalists are the ones crawling at the feet of the goverment, not the other way around. The more power you give to politicians the more power the capitalists will get. It's as simple as that.

What would people do in the mean time?

By: rumco. on 25 Dec 11, 03:51:15
Yes, most likely different rules would apply. Uniformity of rules does not equal efficiency. There are variety of standards, policies, rules among private companies producing goods and services. Consumer? choices determine the fittest/most efficient suppliers. In a private road market, good rules would be emulated, bad rules would be avoided. Consumers, not the State, would dictate what should be provided - based on cost, safety, speed, complexity of rules etc.

No, I hate to say that because I'm generally an optimist, and I'd like to think that people are capable of understanding the problems of statism. However, the issue is clouded by too many people with their hands in the trough, each perhaps willing to see others get cut off if it meant more swill for? them. This is going to take a lot of time and effort to correct.

By: agent008t. on 24 Dec 11, 18:13:38
But your argument is, "if all people were good, the world would be? a great place with no need for government". I am all for a minimal state, preferably no state, but the very fact of the state existing is evidence of the impossibility of such a society existing in the long term. Someone will always offer "protection", and people will side with them. There will be a war between these mafia clans, until one rises to the top and becomes "the government".

By: rumco. on 24 Dec 11, 09:47:49
We are all aggressed against in some way by the State. Theft and violence of the State is viewed legitimate because the State as an organization is viewed as legitimate. We should resist it and abolish the State. If you mean thieves and murderers, decentralised society based on property rights (anarchism), is best positioned to deal with them. They would become outcasts if they? did not wish to peacefully integrate, they would also not rise to the top by political action.

Also this would would raise our social interactions with each other by have more time to do what we want then slave away to provide a world of garbage/land fills. Something new must come

People aren't going to magically pay for your more expensive shit when they can go to the COMPETITORS around you for cheaper. Do you expect them to not profit?

Actually no. Apparently you've never heard of fixing prices? That's done IN the private sector.

TOP 3 REASONS STANTON FRIEDMAN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT MAN IN UFOLOGY: 1. He discovered & made public Col Philip Corso was a fraud: tinyurl .com /834k3bh 2. He discovered and made public Bob Lazar was a fraud: tinyurl .com /6pxblfk 3. His credentials are REAL..he? really is a Nuclear Physicist..and he has been investigating UFO's since 1958..longer? than most people in the field have been alive. Thumbs up if you are thankful for Mr. Friedman's work on the subject, and for exposing the frauds.

By: babystinky. on 27 Nov 11, 04:06:18
what he means, is that we don't care about those that are from here and only the uniformed mistake as 'Alien". Why we don't care so much about those, is because, there are so? many of those false reports, we want to get down to the 'nitty gritty'

By: reshad1. on 01 Nov 11, 03:11:02
I'm sure you've heard this before, but the key to communicating with them is consciousness. Literally, all? you have to do is go out at night..or during the day (open countryside is probably better in day light..i.e not near urban centres) and ask to see them. That is quite literally it. I had several incredible contact experiences (only craft) last Aug/Sep the first couple seemed very coincidental though they could have been explained away by easily by debunkers...

By: UCSDEngineerDoctor. on 04 Mar 12, 10:30:03
OBAMA does not think it is the employee that pays Social Security, its the EVIL BUSINESS that does. But nothing is further than the truth. OBAMA lies to you - so you believe in his lies & end up paying for it yourself. OBAMA takes this? money & give it to his CRONIES like SOLYNDRA. And by the time you retire - SOLYNDRA is broke, SOCIAL SECURITY is bankrupt & so are you, but OBAMA & his cronies laugh all the way to the bank.

By: Jotto999. on 10 Feb 12, 20:06:00
Pay is a narrow dimension. Look at what you can buy with your money (I'm not talking about? inflation adjusting). Technological innovations have given countless important now devices that improve everyone's life, the cost of which falls quickly. Someone in the middle income bracket, or hell any bracket, lives far better than people in the same income bracket decades ago. It's nonsense to say the common citizen hasn't gained.

By: tungstencarbide100. on 10 Feb 12, 19:47:05
Mr. Friedman made no 'assertion' here, he simply stated a FACT that all social security taxes are paid by individuals as employees, rather than by the businesses that employ them. Your comments on productivity and wages are not only simplistic, but also unrelated to this fact. Your obvious disdain? for the 'rich' is apparently the motivation in this bumper sticker argument.

That's a lie. ...
By: antonio3p1. on 10 Feb 12, 19:16:45
That's a lie. Employee production hasn't increased actually it's the opposite. Since we are so spoiled in the West most people demand raises and so on after a few years on the job while? working at the same production area. That means as the people get older, their production of course falls, but their wages increase.

Milton Friedman ...
By: robertmike57. on 10 Feb 12, 17:51:47
Milton Friedman should get out of grave to see? how his banal ridiculous assertions have fallen flat. Employee production has increased in the past 35 years far more than wages. But that isn't a reward to employees, but to the rich employing them.

Minimum wage winds up hurting the lower skilled employees the most. For example I have an auto detailing service where I have long ago had to give up on having any employees since I simply cannot afford them anymore when you add in minumum wage with all the required taxes & insurance... I am now just a one man show. Really sad since I'd love to grow my business? & once again hire employees.

By: NikiDaDude. on 10 Feb 12, 16:56:13
Not exactly, taxes on company profits aren't entirely paid for by the consumer. Taxation isn't that simple, and not all methods are equal in their effects. As for the video of course, the "split" of the tax burden between employee and employer matters only for accounting? purposes. If you don't add more value/money than you would cost the employer to hire you (taxes included, no matter how they are "split" between you) then you won't get hired, as simple as that.

ALL taxes on a corporation are a cost of production. They are? no different than wages or the cost of raw materials. Taxes on corporations are no different than sales taxes. The consumer pays for them, except in the case where the corporation can avoid these taxes by making their product abroad. Products made in China do NOT have pay our minimum wages, avoid union mandates, avoid social security/Medicare/Medicaid taxation and tort laws, and many government regulations.

Simple Economics ...
By: eagleeye1975. on 10 Feb 12, 15:59:53
Simple Economics Truth #17: All taxes are paid by consumers, even taxes on the rich, taxes on the businesses, or taxes on middle-men. All costs of doing business get passed? down to the final link in the chain. Likewise, all payroll taxes paid by the employer, are actually paid by the employee at the end of the day.

Eyup. People don't get that what the employer pays for social? security would have gone to the employee anyways. It's all calculated as the same cost for the employer. So ask yourselves people. Is the government taking 20-30% of your earnings (or potential earnings) for social security alone really worth it for what you get out of it? Don't you think you could save that money and have much more by 65?

By: slaughtz. on 10 Feb 12, 15:46:46
Pretty much. The employers/owners will try to be the last one to take the hit in the company for? the taxes. Is this why with wealth distribution schemes you need a minimum wage - to prevent the employer from taking too much from the wage of the employee?
