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 [...]
I was at a Christmas Party Friday night (no, it was not a “Holiday” Party” – you could tell by the decorations), and, after an offhand crack about Socialism by Yours Truly, a friend asked this question: “Which would you prefer: Fascism or Socialism?” His argument was that we are currently living in a Fascist [...]
Two kids are standing on the playground. The first kid dares the other one to hang upside down by one leg from the monkey bars. The second kid dares him back. The first kid double-dares him.
