“Hit hard, hit fast and hit often’’ Admiral William F. “Bull’ Halsey,( birthplace Elizabeth, New Jersey.) I gotta respect a Southerner who respects a Yankee admiral.
I like what Mark Levin said about this recently. If the government has a ‘right’ to the factory owners property because the government builds roads and provides fire and police protection, then why shouldn’t this communist be eternally indebted to the farmer that provides food for her very substinence or the obstetrician that ensured her safe entry into the world. They too should have a lien on her property and demand whatever they need from her. Furthermore, as taxpayers, we all pay her salary and benefits (in an indirect way through subsidies and tax advantages to Harvard), so we too, by her own reasoning,should have a lien on her property.
No, it is evident that she wants the government to make all those decisions provided that she agrees with that government’s policies. But what if the government act against HER personal interests without regard to her legal and Constitutional protection? Would she change her tune? Probably not. I think I would take her own political imprisonment for a moron like this to realize that her liberty had been stolen.
Sustenance not substanence.
Exceptions render that “rule of thumb” to little more than a fallacy.
I want to know how much insurance the road worker pays, and to whom. when an aggrieved driver decides to sue his road team. What risk, exactly, do the rest of us share when the job-creator (the rich guy) takes on a project?
I highly doubt the road worker pays his own insurance for a given project. I would think the job-creator alone pays for the insurance risk. The rest of us would not share in the risk.
The Marxists aren’t about to point out that if there is a collective gain, there would also be a collective risk, and the way things operate now, there is not a collective risk. If I am interpreting this right, it is a great point.
Capitalism isn’t perfect, but it is much closer to the way things actually work out in real life vs. utopian socialism that does not work at all.
