Hillary Clinton: "Businesses Don't Create Jobs" – Why She's Never Been More Wrong

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Via Future Money Trends,

Narcissism in politics is nothing new, but it is absolutely disgusting and scary that this person is a hero in the minds of millions of Americans.

“Businesses don’t create jobs,” according to Hillary Clinton. Apparently she missed the entire 1990s when private businesses created over 20 million jobs during her husband’s two terms in office.

In her mind, she clearly credits herself, her husband and the government for those years, when in reality, they walked into the greatest communications revolution since the telephone. And even then, they couldn’t balance the federal budget as tax dollars flooded in from all the new jobs that businesses were creating.

I know that the media claims President Clinton balanced the budget, but the truth is it never happened. The Boskin Commission changed the inflation calculation for the BLS, ripping off our senior citizens and turning their annual cost of living increase into an annual cost of survival rate. The Clinton Administration also made budget projections using short-term interest rates instead of long-term.

Hillary’s wrong on the idea that government creates jobs – the government destroys jobs.

1. Government Borrowing

All government borrowing hurts the real economy. Like a drug, it can have some short-term effects that are perceived as positive, but in the long run, this misallocation of capital hurts our chances of having a sustainable economy based on real supply and demand.

Every dollar loaned to the government is not invested in business, not loaned to the private industry, and is taken out of the economy and redirected by a central planner.

2. Taxes

The government raises its capital by putting a gun to its citizens’ heads; pay taxes or go to jail. This means taking money from our wallets, meaning we buy less, reducing the capital citizens have to spend, invest and save.

3. Central Banks Print

This is inflationary. In a real economy, prices go down; however, since the politicians use inflation as a stealth tax, our central planners are hell-bent on pushing the inflation rate up. Inflation is how the government is able to raise your taxes without getting any real backlash from voters. If prices go up and the tax rate stays the same, the government is making more money.

This hurts the everyday Americans; especially those on fixed income, as they make the same amount of money but everything around them is higher.

4. Spending

Government spending creates distortions in our economy and makes it completely dysfunctional. The best example of this is in our housing market. 2008 was the result of government programs and artificially low interest rates. The 3-decade loan, Fannie and Freddie, artificially low interest rates, FHA, the Community Reinvestment Act, and pushing the banks to loan money to subprime borrowers. Wall Street gorged themselves on all of this stupidity coming from government spending, but when the time came to pay for their mistakes, our government rewarded their behavior with bailouts.

5. Government Programs

Again, using the money they stole from others. Governments love to create indentured servant programs, food stamps, college aid, welfare and corporatism.

Food stamps are completely unnecessary. Please show me where 1 American starved to death or a town that suffered from mass hunger in U.S. history. By taking away the responsibility of feeding yourself, the government has created a cesspool of fraud, with the biggest supporters of SNAP being Coca-Cola, Frito Lay and Nestle.

College tuition will outpace all other expenses as long as the government gives 18-year-olds blank checks and those 18-years-olds can postpone the cost of their behavior. Universities would be stupid to offer competitive pricing, as the government is at the ready to pay their fees.

Walmart and hundreds of other large corporations are able to pay their workers shit wages because the government subsidized their wages through SNAP, medical care, and even Section 8 housing. The gravy train for Walmart doesn’t end there, because those programs also make for large volume days when SNAP debit cards are renewed with new tax dollars from other citizens.

6. Minimum Wage

Politicians love to create laws that discriminate against minorities. Most are familiar with slavery and segregation laws, but are completely ignorant of how many other perceived “good” laws hurt small minorities. Like the uneducated or young, minimum wage has priced out millions of unskilled workers and younger people looking to make an honest buck. These laws have also priced many businesses out of business, as well as caused consumer goods to be artificially high, hurting the poor and making them more dependent on government welfare.

7. Regulations

From payroll taxes to unnecessary licenses, business owners waste billions on administrative fees complying with government regulations. Mandatory annual fees for LLCs and other businesses is a complete misallocation of capital for a business.

The idea that Hillary Clinton, or any of these politicians (like Bush, Romney and Obama) can create jobs is lunacy. It’s scary to realize just how demented our political leaders truly are.

"Twenty-seven-year-old Hillary Rodham had just moved to Fayetteville, and was running the University of Arkansas’ newly-formed legal aid clinic, when she received a call from prosecutor Mahlon Gibson.

“The prosecutor called me a few years ago, he said he had a guy who had been accused of rape, and the guy wanted a woman lawyer,” said Clinton in the interview. “Would I do it as a favor for him?”

The case was not easy. In the early hours of May 10, 1975, the Springdale, Arkansas police department received a call from a nearby hospital. It was treating a 12-year-old girl who said she had been raped.

The suspect was identified as Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old factory worker and friend of the girl’s family.

And though the former first lady mentioned the ethical difficulties of the case in Living History, her written account some three decades later is short on details and has a far different tone than the tapes."

“I had him take a polygraph, which he passed – which forever destroyed my faith in polygraphs,” she added with a laugh."

http://freebeacon.com/politics/the-hillary-tapes/

Just another light hearted moment in the life of Hitlary. Even when she knew he was guilty as hell, she managed a cackle for him passing the polygraph.

I hope you are right. Where I sit, I'm afraid, it doesn't look too good. Maybe this is just because living in the Land of Fruits and Nuts makes one erroneously view the rest of the country as equally insane. If she fails, the drinks are on me gladly.

Yes to all you say but when I look around to others like us there is no cohesive group, at least not one visible. Mostly a rag tag group of rugged individuals with commonality but no organization. Now I have heard of some interesting rumblings from a few military friends that have pricked my ears ( no more is appropriate to discuss on an online forum) and they were obviously not speaking the official party line. I know this is heavily debated here but what I am hearing, it doesn't seem all will be in lock step with our " leadership". Let us hope they survive.

Patience has never been my forte and I grow weary of living this life of subterfuge and day to day whittling away of my God given right for freedom. I end up focusing daily on prepping for the day when this is finally over and surviving the process. It can't come soon enough now.

This wrong statement is just part of a corrupt game to get and keep more state political power.

Just the word Psychopath is enough; it explains all her behaviour, including her criminality before she got to her current position.

These cold entities have a structural brain defect which results in little or no empathy or feelings, so they often have to use learned 'emotional' behaviour and games in social situations, and crave baser stimulus.

More intelligent Psychopaths often gravitate to positions of power to have the power to provide the stimulus they crave.

If you want (the GOP) to derail her in time, the MSM dialog has to "Out" her from her open secret: "Hillary is a Closet Lesbian."

Any woman who would accept the office of Secretary of State -which must represent our American  interests to the Muslim world-which, politely speaking, is more than a little "male chauvinistic",culturally and religiously, is unfit to hold the office or any other of national leadership.

Its not particularily arguable, that the perception of American arrogance to the rest of the world, has its origins in 15 years of sending women Secretaries of State to Muslim countries.

Would argue that any woman, or for that matter, openly homosexual, who would accept the office of Secretary of State, has placed themselves and their own interests above that of country. Diplomacy and politics among different governments,  peoples, races, and cultures is challenging enough to achieve good representation of American interests without deliberately going and adding nitroglycerin into the mileau.

While  the USA is readily accepting of qualifications regardless of gender, sexual orientation, etc-much of the world may be as much as 100 years behind in that regard. Particularly in Muslim countires-the bulk of which were  "mission critical" to the future of America -until this administration detonated all that in the last several years. While there is clearly more to what went down than women secretaries of state for 15 years, and homosexual ambassadors-their presence and activities in the middle east could hardly have been much of an asset when dealing with Muslims, and has contributed mightily to the preception of arrogance with which America is perceived on the world stage.

Most succesful empires throughout history  have been careful to send out their strongest men as emissaries to negotiate the details of their relationships with the world.  We have been arrogantly flippant and careless with that which we were entrusted.

Companies lay off people, import cheap labor and do buy backs. They also offshore jobs and keep profits outside of the countries they do the most business to bypass tax laws and steal from the hand that feeds them.

Never heard of that Dunning-Kruger thing before...thanks:

 

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias manifesting in two principal ways: unskilled individuals tend to suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than is accurate, while highly skilled individuals tend to rate their ability lower than is accurate. In unskilled individuals, this bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their ineptitude. Skilled individuals tend to underestimate their relative competence, erroneously assuming that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others.[1]

Hmmm....

 

From that Wikipedia article...

 

If you’re incompetent, you can’t know you’re incompetent. […] the skills you need to produce a right answer are exactly the skills you need to recognize what a right answer is.

 

—David Dunning

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning%E2%80%93Kruger_effect

 

Okay...

 

Now let us consider the definition of the Four Stages of Competence...

 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence

 

 

1. Unconscious incompetence

The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage.[2] The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.[3]

2. Conscious incompetence

 

Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.[4]

 

3. Conscious competence

 

The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.[3]

 

4. Unconscious competence

 

The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

 

 

 

Looking at Stage 2 it is notable that the person who is incompetent is concious, KNOWLEDGABLE, about the deficit.

 

So either David Dunning is an incompetent Psychologist or I am incompetent in the understanding of this contradictory psychobabble.

 

And since I am unaware, and I just do not know, and I am not degreed by a prestigious institution in the fascinanting field of Psychology then I must be incompetent in this new language of Doublespeak.

 

Right?

Being an old Corvair enthusiast, I find it painful that I agree with Ralph Nader. Sorry Dad.

 - The Washington Times - Wednesday, October 29, 2014

Ralph Nader, a former Green Party and Independent Party presidential candidate who frequently serves as a loud critic of federal safety standards, doesn’t have much love for presumptive Democratic Party White House candidate Hillary Clinton.

When asked by a writer with We Are Change what he thought of the the former Secretary of State seeking the nation’s highest office, Mr. Nader’s reply was less than enthusiastic.

“Well, Hillary is a corporatist and a militarist,” Mr. Nader said, Raw Story reported. “Do we want another corporatist and militarist? She thinks Obama is too weak. He doesn’t kill enough people overseas. So she’s a menace to the United States of America.”

But he wasn’t done.

“What we need is people — regardless of whether they are libertarians or not — that pull back on the empire and make Wall Street subordinate to Main Street,” Mr. Nader said, Raw Story reported. “People have got to start thinking, doing their homework, become informed voters and not coronet another corporatist and militarist.’

Mr. Nader had some harsh words for Sen. Rand Paul, too.

“He’s like his father Ron Paul,” Mr. Nader said, Raw Story reported, “He is against militarism, against the bloated military budget, against empire and against these foreign military unconstitutional adventures — but Rand Paul is changing by the month as he wants the White House. He is beginning to say, ‘Well, what if we give more aid to Israel?’ … So he is beginning to change.”

Mr. Nader had some words of advice for Mr. Paul: “What he ought to do is go back to his father, sit on his knee and become more like Ron Paul,” he said, Raw Story reported.

She knows business does create jobs but she will say the most dumb down liberal thing and appeal to feminism to get her votes. She will do anything to sit on that throne. Think about it, a woman can tolerate her husband cheating on her, stick by him in return of political power & support. If that is not the trait of psychopath, I don't know what is.

It's not psychopathic at all. It's pragmatic, if you want to be close to power.

The old man getting hummers from interns is small potatoes compared to being the wife of the most powerful (on the face of things) man on Earth, especially if you're inclined to vagitarianism.

If Slick Willie became a Billy Carter, she'd drop him in a New York minute.

It's about the power and a place in history. Narcissistic megalomania would be a more apt descriptor for ol' rug munching Hillary, as she has displayed no discernible talent for a leadership role, even for running a dog pound.

And good luck getting a job without a military service history.  I only apply to private corporations.  I just completed such a long winded online application today.  There were a series of questions about my military experience in that application and there are on all of these types of online applications.  I chose not to go into the military as the first male in my family's history to not do so and I am a white male.  There was no national need for me to do so at that time.   

Forget the Bachelor's degree and the student loans that I have paid off.  Forget the 20 years of experience that I have in my field.  No, I get it, I see now that I fucked up.  I should have went overseas, I guess, and put a gun to some poor fucker's head and pulled the trigger in addition to all of that which I previously did because it would make me a better candidate for a private job position.

Then there was the "Get involved in your local politics" mantra we heard for so many years.  Yeah, right, so I did.  I had a good job once and now I don't.  I guess I was only supposed to take that figuratively instead of literally.  I screwed up again.  

I do not mean to disparage those who served in any way, but that is bullshit to ask on a private electronic CV/resume.  I have seen this numerous times.  I have applied several times to the local municipalities for a basic position in grounds maintenance but I do not have any military experience so I do not get the exemption for hire.

I know how it works now.

Yeah, I know. They assume you have useful leadership skills if you have military training.

Why? As a tadpole I worked for a company that hired a former Master-Sargent. The prick didn't last a week. He thought that everyone else worked for him. He went Postal when someone told him to fuck off.

"Lie like hell".

I should not have to lie but I see your point.  Yes, they will fire you if you lie on a CV/resume.  I was looking to be an agronomist over in Northwestern Wisconsin for a multinational.  I am technically more inclined towards horticulture which is more specific than agronomy is but the basics are the same.  Most of the work is out in the field and not so much office work which would be good for me.  I will provide you a part of my cover letter.

      "I am inquiring regarding the Agronomist position at your Hayward, Wisconsin location because I believe that I have the qualifications to best fit your company’s objectives at the Hayward location.  I graduated from Spooner High School and proceeded to work with various soils throughout the region ranging from the FFA soil testing team to establishing frost line levels for concrete basement frost footings.  I continued my education and in field experience at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls and pursued and completed my Bachelor of Science in Agriculture.

 

     I am well aware of the differences in geology and soil chemistry throughout the region.  I understand the sandy soils of Burnett County, the unforgiving aggregate of northern Sawyer, Ashland and Bayfield counties.  I know of the clays near Birchwood and the nice loams of Polk and Barron counties.  The reason this is so is because I have personally set a shovel or some sort of cultivating device into every one of those soils as well as many locations throughout Minnesota.  I believe that soil testing is critical to determine what the first step is to maximize agricultural growth potential."

It won't matter much but I will go home to where I grew up.  I know many of the farmers in the area because I worked on their farms.  I own estate property where I grew up in that area that I have fixed up nicely and still won't sell because of location.  What am I doing over here in Minnesota then?  That is not how the corporate world works though.  I have already worked for a multinational and I did not like it much but I have a family so it is not all about me.  Trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together is not easy.

It is too late now to remove what I wrote.  I see other things that I should have edited.  I am strong with some of my writing and I appreciate that you are willing to acknowledge that fact.  I will admit that I have some poor and weak strain of OCD.  I belong in the crop fields because that is what I am.  Perhaps I should not have put certain information there but it is very important information to know.  This is the job I really want.  The job is not easy to do.

 

I went to school for agriculture and not writing.  I will admit that I have read books.  I do love writing but I love what I can do with any given plant.  It actually works together because a plant is not going to get too excited about much of anything you do that day.

The definition of a foundation is that it is something that gets laid down first.  If it is solid and supportive good things may be constructed upon it. The Reagan years laid the foundation. Clinton was a party boy who thankfully stood to the side and let the money flow. It is going to take some real bricklayers to turn this thing around.

Reagan was a Washington outsider who was done in by the party filling the ranks with know nothing RINOs.

He had a major blind spot by assuming his cabinet and staff shared his ideals and vision and delegated power accordingly. He thought he could run Washington like he ran California as Governor; This is what I want, go do it.

He was wrong. With the right people behind him, his administration could have been the gold standard by which all others would be judged.

RINOs helped destroy America just as much as any bomb tossing lefties.

At least the lefties tell you that they want to do it.

Today, Hillary's only threat for rug-burn President in 2016 is Elizabeth Warren. From Newsbusters on Oct 23: People magazine dragged out its goo bucket again to praise ultraliberal Senator Elizabeth Warren in the latest (November 3) issue. The headline is “The YouTube Senator: As she fought the big banks, she never expected that Senate hearings would go as viral as cat videos – and make her a political star.” ... Reporter Sandra Sobieraj Westfall began: “As she is not a dyspeptic pop star or a starlet dumping ice water on her head for charity, Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren is an unlikely Internet sensation.

Hillary had to respond to Warren's extreme populism/Progressivism, and to Warren's 11 Commandments of Progressivism:

"We believe that Wall Street needs stronger rules and tougher enforcement, and we're willing to fight for it."
"We believe in science, and that means that we have a responsibility to protect this Earth."
"We believe that the Internet shouldn't be rigged to benefit big corporations, and that means real net neutrality."
"We believe that no one should work full-time and still live in poverty, and that means raising the minimum wage."
"We believe that fast-food workers deserve a livable wage, and that means that when they take to the picket line, we are proud to fight alongside them."
"We believe that students are entitled to get an education without being crushed by debt."
"We believe that after a lifetime of work, people are entitled to retire with dignity, and that means protecting Social Security, Medicare, and pensions."
"We believe—I can't believe I have to say this in 2014—we believe in equal pay for equal work."
"We believe that equal means equal, and that's true in marriage, it's true in the workplace, it's true in all of America."
"We believe that immigration has made this country strong and vibrant, and that means reform."
"And we believe that corporations are not people, that women have a right to their bodies. We will overturnHobby Lobby and we will fight for it. We will fight for it!"

Hillary would have muffed it if she didn't exhibit her Progressive credentials, and try to make scissors of Warren. Sure, what Hillary said was lame and maladroit, but when wasn't she?

"They all want to go to heaven but are too scared to die"

 

The Heaven being small and socialist .

So , Big is out . 

Ostrum is in .

 

But that means that they must "die" ,

Lose position , power , influence , big salaries , fancy cars , plush hotel suites ,etc

 

The only real survivability is in the loyalty of persons .

Where investment should lie .

 

Oil and Banks are going the way of taxis .

There is an Uber waiting for them .

 

Charon is on Uber , now .

No pennies . Only Visa or MasterCard .

We now have leaders that do not believe in in free markets, entrepreneurship, capitalism, etc. They get elected not because they are the most qualified for the job or because they understand and uphold the foundations of liberty as laid out by the founders, but because the nation has a desire to show how progressive it's become by electing people who represent groups that have been subject to past prejudices, qualified or not, as well as anyone promising a free lunch.

We should be choosing the most qualified people for the job, regardless of their skin color sexual orientation or gender. We should be reducing barriers to creating job creating businesses and celebrating our entrepreneurs and business people.

It's important to remember rule of politics #1, "Don't believe anything a politican says, because they don't believe it themselves."  For that same reason, don't believe that it was a misstatement or out of context - it was just as deliberate as the preplanned walk back a couple days later.

Hillary doesn't believe what she said, but she had to say it because she's trying to appeal to the democrat party base, who are buy and large hard core marxists.  It should be noted that Elizabeth Warren was at the same event - Hillary was making a very deliberate attempt to block Warren from coming around her left flank - sort of like those roller derby "ladies" from the 70's.

The model of Society we live under:

Employers ... Employ

Bankers ... Counterfeit Money

Politicians ... Cover the Ass of Bankers and Miss-Direct Anger away from bankers onto weak groups (cause in-fighting) Politicians Eat from the same trough as Bankers

Workers Work and half their money goes to BullShit Fraudulent Taxes,Insurance Costs, etc.

IRS steals from Americans and gives the "profits" from theft to shareholders of Federal Reserve (bankers).

Everything goes full circle, and every time around more and more people starve and die and lose everything they have.

Process will repeat until Bankers and Politicians find a way to replace all the people they can with robots that serve martinis on their space shuttle trip to Valhalla.

 

This is the world you live in you can't boil it down anymore than that.

Now the question is what are you going to do about it?

Probably nothing.

 

 

The end goal is to steal as much as possible from as many people as possible for as long as possible, until they find a way to replace you alltogether , then they will inherit the earth as a paradise after they wipe out 90% of us.

That's their goal.

I deal with small business on a day to day basis and I will tell you they have little reason to be optimistic. Small business, with two to ten employees, are becoming an  endangered species in America. The family business once the backbone of this country is under attack from the unintended consequences of the many laws and mandates passed in recent years.

Inspections, a plethora of permits, licenses, taxes, insurance requirements, and regulations make it almost impossible for a small business to open, compete, and operate legally. Big government has become toxic for small business. More on this subject in the article below.

I honestly wonder what kind of small businesses folks that complain about taxes and regulations have.

Me, I sell consumer products through a variety of venues.  To each sale I add 6% for sales tax and file that semi-annually.  At the end of the year, I figure out what was profit and add it to my W2, wherein Turbo Tax calculates my income tax.

One, the math is not that difficult or time consuming.  Two, the tax, collected on top of sales or only on profit, is nothing compared to what I pay in rent or what I pay on W2 income.

I think necessity created the first jobs; food, shelter, clothing, etc. Some liberal decided to steal the fruits of his neighbors labor and inadvertently created the necessity for a legal system.

Depending on how one perceives, "Businesses Don't Create Jobs", it could make sense.

I’m in Detroit.  As you all know, if it weren’t for federal, state and local government money none of the business here would exist.

Well that is what happens when you give Union workers at GM huge salaries and benefits while not improving infastrcutre. Detroit is the new progressive American Dream city Hillary Cuntion and Oboozo want for all of this country.

Yes they would. But they would pay less, housing would cost less, etc.. BUT the banks cannot have that occur. Deflation fucks the indebted.

The flip side to that reality: If the Fed, State and Local goobermint didn't fuck everthing up and regulate every industry into bankruptcy then we wouldn't be having this problem.

Why would this lying, murdering, criminal piece of garbage Hillary Clinton get any press or government position to begin with?... Because she is a gopher for the Ruling Oligarchy.

I ask you would anyone on this site give this piece of shit the time of day?

These people aren't elected they are installed. That's why we call it a puppet government.

We all know that's not true. Unfortunately, the hurdles in the way of the common man/woman are far too steep to even make it out of the starting blocks.

We would be better off crowdfunding someone who is just a regular, intelligent person.

"... as economist Thomas Piketty demonstrated in Capital in the Twenty-First Century, without government intervention, the market economy tends to concentrate wealth in the hands of a small minority, causing inequality to rise. Despite this, in recent years economic thinking has been dominated by a ‘market fundamentalist’ approach, that insists that sustained economic growth only comes from reducing government interventions and leaving markets to their own devices. However, this undermines the regulation and taxation that are needed to keep inequality in check."

Well we got more than plenty regulation and taxation, Mr. Piketty, so we must have equality all to hell and back.

I feel richer just reading that.

What's that? Nothing about banks profiting on virtually free money?

Trouble is that the wrong people got regulated and the wrong people got de-regulated.

It was DE-regulation that allowed the banksters to lend money to idiots.  Conventional anarcho-capitalist theory states that you don't need to regulate how much banks can lend because banks and borrowers sort it out themselves.  It didn't work.  Banksters lent to idiots, prices rose and sensible people were priced out of the market.  Sensible borrowers went without.  Sensible banksters were fired / passed over for promotion / went bankrupt.  The system stayed insane for longer than the sane could remain solvent.  Only THEN, AFTER the damage of de-regulated lending did the regulated bail-outs enter the equation.

The SECOND problem was the "regulated" bankster bail-outs.
The FIRST problem was the de-regulation that allowed banksters to lend to idiots, which forced a lot of sensible people out of the system.

Both the regulation and de-regulation of banks was the result of bank lobbying.  Don't like the rules?  Find some like-minded individuals and lobby the govt.  That is called democracy in action.  Yeah, feel free to LOL at that one.  I wonder if it would be possible to borrow enough money from the banks to be able to lobby against the banks.  Perhaps you'd need a good debt-collector friend and a good judge and lawyer friends.

Otherwise you can wait four years and tell team magenta that one of the decisions they made was wrong.

Yes, you are correct that the real problem is the banksters and the free money.  But competition hasn't been working as advertised.

I loves the ending to the Fish story - What about greed?

And this is what I said about it at the time (5320184):

"Just read the story and accept the conclusion given - Able ends up owning everything and lending fish to everyone.  Sounds to me like the fish story came true and we are all living it today.

Why is Able's surname not given?
Is it "SQUID"???

 

 

 

 

Rothchild?  Bildeberg?  Rockefeller?  ..."

This article is absolutely ridiculous, by every measure governments of the world are larger than at any time in world history. Therefore, it's easy to draw the exact opposite conclusion. Government size is directly related to inequality. The history of mankind is great inequality, from ancient Egypt to today. Take for example large scale redistribution schemes of the last century (Argentina, Kenya, etc). They were absolute disasters and a small few immediately rose to the top again quickly, after economic disaster. Take a look at communist countries for example, well beyond intervention; absolute control ensures that only a very few live like kings while the average person lives in extreme poverty.

Aside from the obvious evidence to the contrary of the above points, where are these "market economies" the author speaks of? Please do not confuse cronyism and corruption with the free market. Cronyism and corruption grow in direct proportion to the size of government.

By every measure corporations are also larger than any other time in world history.

Monopoly power is monopoly power, whether it is in the form of govt or corporation.  The difference, in theory, is that the little people can control govt power through the vote.  With private corporations the little people have no such protection.

It is often said that democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what to have for dinner.
How about, two wolves and a hundred sheep decide what to have for dinner.  It was working fine while the sheep had a strong fence around the farm.  But the wolves learnt that they could dig holes under the fence and dress up as sheep ... and lament the cost of fixing the fence ... and extoll the virtues of the green pastures on the other side of the fence ...
