Good Lord, did he just say, "free enterprise has nothing to do with it"????
If someone blew up his precious Fed tomorrow, independent conservatives would thrive, whereas the leeches in the 'public sector' and on welfare would starve. .
If push came to shove, people could barter, exchange goods and services in the black market or use their own made up currency.
Money isn't wealth, only a symbol of existing wealth. Money doesn't make people wealthier, or more productive and innovative. People were all those things before this Keynesian bullshit poisoned academia.
Is this what a liberal arts college education gets you these days?

Add that one to your ever-growing list of retarded quotes.
Whenever someone tries to present an argument to me, I make an effort to understand what it is they're attempting to convey. If I find fault with their logic, I'll point it out. Most of the time, I see where they are coming from. Good liberal intentions, and all that...just not practical in the real world. Not here, though. I have no clue whatsoever what the fuck akfagdrunk is talking about, and I doubt he does either. It's like looking at some alternate fantasy universe.
By his logic, if I wanted to start a new civilization on my own private island...I wouldn't need to do anything besides just print money. Everyone would prosper by trading paper money among each other for whatever reason. No one would need to do provide any goods or services to earn that paper, because "free enterprise has nothing to do with it."
Newsflash to the resident alcoholic: economies have existed long before governments became involved. Plenty still do exist without regulation. The only thing paper currency accomplishes is to provide a standard medium of exchange for goods and services. Otherwise, a farmer would have to trade his crops for goods and services, LeBron James would make his living by offering to allow people to watch him shoot hoops in exchange for whatever he wanted, you'd make your living by offering to regale people with idiotic economic theories, etc...
As I mentioned before, how regulated are black market items? It's actually the perfect example to support my argument and destroy his. No regulation necessary, pure free-market trade. My grandfather was a mechanic who escaped a communist nation in Europe, and he'd tell me how common it would be for him to fix someone's car in exchange for the other person painting his house or maybe a few days' worth of groceries. This happens a lot in communist nations...the trick is to do it behind the scenes when Big Brother isn't watching.
Anyway, I guess all these companies who are just wasting their time...you know, producing things. All they need to do is stay at home and exchange paper money with someone every so often, then we'll be golden.
It's beyond incomprehensible how stupid this idiot it.
