Friedman is a hack.

Normally I wouldn't bother replying to you....but this time.

Are you are trying to claim that with the lower taxes inherent in the US system the US has a better quality of life than a high tax regime like Denmark's, which has mixed economy with a free market (relatively) and a large Welfare State (socialism to you)?

And you are using a Milton Friedman interview from twenty-plus years ago to bolster your claim, despite the present evidence that lack of regulation has led to huge problems in the banking industry.

You are secretly a recruitment sergeant for the Dems, aren't you?

1) Hold on, I'm gonna try to cry a sad, sad tear for Wall Street and Free Market Capitalism...

<<< urrrgggghhhh >>> <<< rrruuuhhhhhhcccchhhhkkk >>>

Nope, still can't do it. Not really surprised of course. I don't feel much about anything anymore since my asshole got reamed out by Wall Street and Free Market Capitalism.

2) Yeah, that financial sector is SO MISERABLE and SO LIMITED AND CONSTRAINED by our current government. I'm sure they're close to suicide over all the restrictions and limitations being put on them by Obama and the Democrats running Congress. Yeah, I bet they really are. Yup yup. Mmhmm. Yup.

Okay, now post replies with copypasta or links or embedded videos that have nothing to do with anything. Readyyyyyyygo.

2) Well, actually... (http://www.infowars.com/four-apparent-suicidesdeaths-in-48-hours-%E2%80%93-ceo-financiers-fundraiser/)

Not that it's a bad thing, mind you.

The free market is antithetical to the functioning market. Let's hope the next piece Obama takes is his head.

Yeah, because Investment firms and banks are suffering soooo much under their bailouts and record profits!

Yea, "Wall St. free market capitalism" has been suffering sooooo much since the government started handing them hundreds of billions of dollars in no strings attached money last year. So suffering in fact that they've posted record profits this year.

Poor babies!
