Be my guest.
I dont think our revered pundits have focussed enough on this fact. We acknowledge various categories of hurt and lost people: firefighters, rescue workers, office workers, businessmen flying to meetings, etc. but not the one unifying fact - they were all contributors to America's strength. From the deli counterman to the bond trader - they were all Working People! and not just the Dem's version of 'worker' either.

So socialistic programs always fail and capitalist programs always succeed?

I agreed with you in part. Now we must part company.

In a liberal market economy failure is allowed and keeps
it honest between the contenders and pretenders. However,
socialist programs are a monopoly, so we have no point
of reference. We only realize their utter failure when it is too late.

Remember government rewards failure with a bigger budget, i.e. higher taxes.

Absolutely, I'm a part of this generation and I was one that woke up from that pack of lies in my 20's to become a more conservative person. And yes I do think of Reagan as MY president. He was from the time I was 10 until I was 18, so he is who I think of when I think of the office!

Excellent post. I really enjoyed reading it. It gives me hope for the future that there are young people who don't don't buy the garbage they've been fed by the leftist loonies. My 23 year old daughter made her first trip to the polls last year to vote in the primary...as a Republican!

I'm not sure I understand your replies. In what way do you feel the author was a little light in his criticism of the right?

You're point about the self-correcting feature of capitalism is well-taken - which is one of the reasons I am a capitalist rather than a socialist.

However dramatic business cycles are part of capitalism and George Soros - among others - argues against its inherent stability. And there are plenty of modern examples of great falls with huge consequences. So one can say the self-correcting feature is far from perfect.

Also, while it is true that socialistic endeavors can have plenty of adverse consequences, they can also work very well - and have in areas that for one reason or another are not suited to the capitalist approach.

I realize that we are both speaking in short-hard due to limitations of space and time. I hope I've been successful in making myself clear.

Sounds like you've done a great job.

I regretably voted for Carter. Boy did I learn.

Yet the tide has changed- the Right is no longer the side of intolerance, of predictability and privilege, but the political Right are the last advocates of the preservation of liberty. Liberties that have been eroded in the name of "political correctness" need to be restored.

You have no idea how this article has effected me. Thankyou for the post.
You have brightened up my day and given me hope for the future.

The future is yours. Vote against every tax, even if you think it "helps".

Preach the truth, my friend!

Preach the truth! We must get this point hammered home.

You are right......too many things to cover in limited time.

If you have the time and interest.Economics

The site is under partial construction. Hopefully, you won't run into problems.

Socialism can work in a less complex society.
