So we are to thank bribed elected officials and not farmers? 

Humans pride themselves in their productiveness. Objects are only interested in producing objects, in this case, Money. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create productivity. 

With unfortunately the passing of Mr Friedman it would be of interest what his perspective of Government or Socialism entailed. It doesn't appear he had much accurate description of either, sorry to say.

Mike Norwalk if we are to continue correspondence. You are going to have to present yourself non- aggressive, reasonable, and detailing accurately. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create transparency.

Mike Norwalk you are as usual, are aggressively,  irrationally and ignorantly misrepresenting. Other than this comment, I wish you a good day.

"The nothing wrong with America that can't be cured with what's right with America." 
              President Bill Clinton 

No, Mr Mike Norwalk, you and this Friedman fellow are making a mockery of our government. This is the prevailing attitude. A significant maturation attitude change and we could make very substantial reparations. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create good government. 

The Socialist spends all money accorded to him to promote life.  Not really understanding this not very insubstantial quote the Socialist does not discriminate or intend any unfair regard for any monetary resource allocations allotted to him.

This debacle called free market economy is nothing but an economic powder keg, so to speak. The lack of human quality reinforcing elements are going to lead to misguided materialistic misappropriations leading to intense unbalanced resource allocations, like today on February 29th, 2024.

Its just another transaction process that's required for a creature educationally challenged in the evolutionary tides. As dubious at it my be, nonetheless developmental.

We certainly need a broadening of personal and community perspective. We need to examine ourselves and discover our own individual shortcomings and quite blaming others. It's the system, not the individual.

With this attitude you're simply not properly using all your government facilities.

This is the case of the recreational sex and drugs so normally practiced in our world. The normal vulgar accompanying behavior is just unreasonable. Humans practice sex to bring forth new members of the species. These drug concoctions, what can be described as garage and basement manufactured drugs are not needed because of no proven effectiveness. And humans try valiantly to present themselves dignified and honorably.

It takes a heart to have a heart to heart.

The sick typical firearms supporter gets more creditability than the heartfelt socially responsible individual with a heart. It takes a heart to have a heart.

Dr Paul, it is clearly evident with this attributed effort you clearly don't have much faith in the power of words. This appears the national sentiment. A real spokesman get very little regard from what would be at best described as a social degenerate. The sick typical  firearms supporter gets more creditability then a heartfelt social responsibil

The mentally healthy want a more nonviolent path followed by our nation's citizens. And Dr. Paul, you and your electors, to assure this path, must come to terms with your one solution for everything, violence. The mentally healthy use nonviolent words and accompanying actions to make their path and I request that you join me on this nonviolent sane journey.

This quote is not too inspirational and lacks reasonable context. Does not the description of "medium of exchange" indicate that money, by it very nature,
disseminates and makes the rounds, throughout the transaction confines of business and finance.

Yes, in evaluating this quote, what one might call a tirade. Its not a at substitutive, not at all coordinated, and sorry to say doesn't deliver one solid idea. And yes, if you want to be elected to an elected office of an electorate composing pretty much criminals with intense mental health problems, just stay this present nonthreatening messaging course. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create educational substantiality.
 

This quote displays a lot of childish idle thought processing, not much of a mature attitude in facing the realities of our world. The adult mission exists to inspire all, and that means all, with reassuring hopeful resolution capacities and mature attitude. This give up attitude is not too useful, the adult will, yes point to problems,  but just as appropriately offer solutions. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create maturity.

Economics is a simple formulation. Everyone deserves a fair share, and then we go from there. How wonderful, it rhymes. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create a fair share for each and every one.

At this point you need money to live, but you don't live for money.

Money must be regulated like food and drink. The quality of the money received must be under careful consideration and concern. Socialist don't rob banks, sorry my Leninists and Stalinist buddies. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create appropriate behavior.

I really don't understand Mr Spooner's summation here. I surmise as with all the contributors and other posters, not including myself of course, that it is a great assistance to be fluent in the language of hard criminal. Socialism is the challenge of social abilities to create wholesomeness and proper behavior.

Humans, similar to life in general go where they have too. Life is actually not usually welcomed in a environment where death has always ruled, but nonetheless life is not a waste.
