VIDEO: Peter Schiff interviews members at the Democratic National Convention who all display a remarkable level of economic ignorance. They all want to ban or cap corporate profits.
This country is never going to make it. Moribund, like the Soviet Union.
I think a crash course in Milton Friedman’s economics is greatly necessary:

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas.
To ban profits is to utterly destroy the stock markets (why would anyone want to buy a stock that is guaranteed to never pay a dividend? Certainly the price of the stock will not rise when there is no potential for dividends.)
This happened as the RATS were stiffing everyone in Charlotte? Perfect.
No profits, no company. No company, no jobs. Everyone works for the government. Easy.
I wonder if any of these folks have 401K, or Pensions? Gee, wonder where that money came from?
Despite massive evidence this was happening, no one seemed to care. Now it's time to pay the piper.
I was wondering myself how many of these morons have union pension funds dependent on dividend payments made possible by corporate profits.
Dude with the “Educators for Obama” T-shirt looks like Captain Coco Puffs (Paul Watson, ecoterrorist).
“Each citizen would then be completely independent of all his fellow men and absolutely dependent on the state.”
-Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“Everyone works for the government. Easy.”
That’s the idea.
I’m sure they think “the government. And if they run out, the treasury can just print more.”
That’s why high unemployment in the “private sector” doesn’t bother them. This is all part of the hope and transformation they want. It’s backdoor marxism performed over a period of time via overregulation.
In my opinion, it [the two Americas] will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.
Abe mentioned that piper. IMO it's time for our military to choose sides.. I just hope it's our side.
Ayn Rand rhetorically asked if workers have a right to their wages, then why don’t businessmen have a right to their profits?
