"market-worshiping, privatizing, deregulating, dehumanizing American financial plan"Remember government is not your friend. And
neither are ex-union bosses on patronage commissions.
Yes, Andy Stern actually said this.
“America needs a 21st century economic plan because we now know the market-worshipping, privatizing, de-regulating, dehumanizing American financial plan has failed and should never be revived, worshipping the market again. It has failed America and everyone that works here.” Here's the video link. For the better part of a century, American government has attempted controlling the economy, always for "our own good" or for "fairness." It has failed. Without exception, government "supervision" of the free market has failed. The more domination, the greater the collapse. A true free market works despite government. It's based on individual choice and the free exchange of goods and services. The only things that government can bring is threats and force. Even "government money" comes from threats. And yet somehow, even as every attempt to subvert freedom fails and brings on disaster after disaster, the only solution that is EVER discussed is… More government. Because it did such a bang up job, dontchaknow. All it needs is just a little more Authority, and it can whip all those pesky problems. Nip them in the bud. Make things Totally Fair. Even though it hasn't worked so far. After all, the Economy is Too Important to trust you with spending your money. Here's a radical thought. Less government. It's about the only thing we haven't tried. KYFHO, neighbors, KYFHO.
