Elizabeth Warren. Aaargh! Who else could make Scott Brown look this good? Go earn your keep, Scott.

Good article. HHC’s husband

Go earn your keep, Scott.

I’m still upset that I sent Scott Brown $ (from Colorado) to beat that other liberal woman. He’d better whip this one’s butt, too.

Her bankruptcy casebook is actually good. She should stick to that.

[Sick of Lefties]

Thanks. I’ll take a look at it.

No doubt because filing bankruptcy right after you've scammed a bunch of creditors is right in line with the typical liberal's views on "redistributing" the wealth.

...to beat that other liberal woman.

Martha "Marsha-Marsha-Marsha" Coakley. Rush Limbaugh just
started doing an ad for that ID theft company that mentions her.

Gawd this is beauteous.

So much so, and so delightfully and artfully delivered in sharp-shooter fashion, that it grieves me to point out the following glaring blanket statement:

that the rich get that way by offering something of value to others, not by making them poor.

If we massage our definitions of rich, and of value, and of poor, we can make this unequivocally true. Absent that, however, it is simply to general a claim to be valid; and is invalidated by too much recent history.

“to” + “o” = “too”

Thanks, C L.

I only got to hear about 15 minutes of Rush today so I missed that.

You helped the better candidate to win. You helped to start Teddy Kennedy spinning in his grave. Thank you.

That alone was worth it.

“Teddy Kennedy’s seat”.....my azz. Arrogant bastards.

If another lib friend on facebook posts this shit again I'm gonna puke - I;ve seen it about 200 times in the last week.

[FroggyTheGremlim]

Roads, schools, police, firefighters - all of these are state or local entities.

None of them are Federal.

National Defense is a federal responsibility. I bet Ms. Lizzie wants to cut National Defense allocations.

[monocle]

And how much has the war on poverty cost us? And has the percentage of people living in poverty declined?

[Sick of Lefties]

Please expound.

[the invisib1e hand]

Please expound.

What part my post needs to be explained?

[Sick of Lefties]

Libs want to bail out Blue States with federal dollars again. It’s forcible redistribution from Red State citizens who don’t want Liberal governance, to Blue State citizens who do. It’s a coercive mechanism that thwarts the operation of the laboratories of Democracy.

It’s abusive and it’s transparent. It’s got to stop.

“Absent that, however, it is simply to general a claim to be valid; and is invalidated by too much recent history. “

What recent history are you referring to? I imagine you mean the crash, and Wall Street’s money grab. Or perhaps you mean GE and the new generation of crony capitalists.

I assume that those are aberrations, exceptions that prove the rule. If I build a factory, to use Professor Warren’s example, I do not get rich by making others poor. I get rich by giving others something of value.

If I run to DC, or my state capitol (Lansing) in order to get rich, or stay rich in the face of better competition, then I am making others poor. But, that’s not capitalism. That’s Statism. It’s also sin.

I think you feel a threat to a sacred cow and so you're obfuscating the point. The instant "the rich" are seen as a non-existent ideal instead a bunch of individuals, the patron saints of "capitalism" are shown to be flawed. In fact, the very idea of questioning presumptions about "capitalism" is anathema to the typical self-described "conservative," at least as represented on FR. I'm here to tell you that Ayn Rand and her "capitalist" myth did as much to promote socialism as Marx did, arguably more. She enabled it, whereas he only talked about it.

No exposition. You'll have to do your homework, work for some original thoughts, face some uncomfortable realities, as the author of this otherwise fine piece seems to be otherwise comfortable with doing.
