Liberty Quotes
Laws and taboos against upsetting the tender-minded are everywhere. Polite society, by which I mean not only successive governments, but the wider bureaucracy and mainstream opinion, holds that it is wrong to cause offence, even to those whose views are offensive; wicked to be disrespectful even of those who are not worthy of respect.

This is a lot dummer than 99 percent of the
Commentary. Why preach to the choir?
Oh. Sorry Sinc.
I like how the title of the piece is Who Exploits You More: Capitalists Or Cronies, and within ten seconds the dude admits that it’s actually capitalists. But hey, look over there, a government-sponsored unicorn!
The animation of Uncle Sam is rather old fashioned. It reminds one of anti-semitic illustrations from the 19th century.
So monty is admitting he exploits people.
Idiot.
Its intereresting that this is one point where we on the side of liberty sort of agree with Michael Moore.
That is, big business being able to influence the governemnt for special favours is not necessarily a good thing.
However Moore is inconsistent, in that he’s fine with Big Unions doing exactly the same thing, and idiotic to think that increasing the power of the State will solve the problem. In fact he’s part of the problem in that he’s also fine with the right kind of Big Business (like Big Wind or Big Solar) practicing graft and corruption.
