Zero is not really the problem, the real problem is the complicit lamestream media and most importantly the freeloading money for nothing sheeple that supported this radical narcissistic marxist scumbag!!...until the idiots are marginalized or realize the failure of socialism we are doomed!

When considering leftists, one can try to classify them along two axes: one with extremes labeled “self-serving demagogue” and “good-hearted bloke”, the other with extremes labeled “hopelessly naive about economics” and “knows better”.

It seems Obama from this speech should be classified as a hopelessly naive about economics self-serving demagogue.

The most charitable construction one can put on the contents of his speech is that he foolishly fancies that “limited government that preserves free markets” means absolute laissez faire without even laws to protect health and safety or suppress fraud (including exotic forms of fraud), and that he is ignorant of the role government intervention have always played in the establishment of monopolies.

I think he’s just handed the GOP nominee, whoever it is, the election.

The anti-American is fully revealed at last.

It is impossible to meaningfully say something does or does not work, without defining what it is supposed to do. If someone has been conditioned to be miserable at the fact they aren't as wealthy as other people, such a person will not feel themselves enriched by the economic growth that would result from a free-market economy. So in that regard, the free-market economy would be a failure.

Of course, the real reason for those people's misery wouldn't be the existence of a "wealth gap", but rather the fact that they've been conditioned to embrace covetousness. As long as they continue to embrace covetousness, nothing will make them happy.
