might as well operate our society by people's fundamental instincts. I have never understood why communists cant accept that people will always act in their self interest and that society is better off harnessing that drive rather than trying to smother it.

hell yeah.

haha

socialist goals have been adopted by the US to a large degree. This cannot be disputed. So instead of disputing the quote, the haters start name calling! Clearly they dont have any facts to contradict the quote.

People like Waffler are the greatest threat to liberty and prosperity in America. A literal thief. Waffler, you are aware that if you feel that the government doesn't have enough money, you can donate more of your own money. I have never understood why those who would like the government to do more, dont just get off their asses and contribute themselves. All the answers I have ever heard, show that they are incompetent at best.

I love this quote.

Waffler your tripe cant hold a candle the words of Milton Friedman !! People do what is best for them. It is a fact. Here's another one for you, a free market system of government will benefit more people in more ways than any other.

The single most corrosive mentality to freedom in America has been the mentality that the government ought to save people from danger or harm. We must change this to reverse the growth of government

I think this quote is at the heart of WHY libertarians and central planners (of any label) are so at odds with each other. Central Planners want to use government force to take from some and give to others. Libertarians want every person to choose for themselves how to better their lives. There is nothing wrong with helping your brother, but it is downright evil to force someone else to do it at gun point.
