SUPPLY SIDE VS KEYNESIAN DEMANDS In the first parts of this series, I’ve described for you the difference between “Free Market” Capitalism and the type of Government Regulated “Capitalism” that we have today. So why hasn’t “Capitalism” worked? After all, don’t our Politicians ALWAYS make a big deal about how they want the economy to [...]
THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL Probably the most misquoted line in the world is this: “MONEY is the Root of all Evil.” This actually isn’t the line. The actual BIBLICAL quote can be found in 1st Timothy, Chapter 6, Verse 10: “For the LOVE of Money is the Root of all Evil: which while some [...]
