Around my neighbourhood, everytime we neighbours meet and have a chat, we do give each other a piece of our minds on certain topics.
One person who met me discussed how the government here is doing everything possible to destroy the private education system.
To another person, I said that low interest rates given by central bank don’t matter, since increasing money supply does not increase economic activity, but merely redistribute scarce resources.
All in all, in my neighbourhood, most people have long stopped voting. The seeds of such thinking have been planted. If it keeps going this way, then slowly, if not in my lifetime, but in some other generation, such thinking will be so prevalent, that a politician shouting for “more taxes on the rich” will find a less than impressed audience and interventionist measures would seem more futile to him.
As it is, urban Indians might not be free marketers (far from it), but many of them have a viciously anti-government sentiment, rooted in India’s “mixed economy” days. The result of it has been an increasing lack of enthusiasm for public ventures, and even this Progressive government has been privatizing very slowly, because it just no longer sees the point in doing something that everybody will perceive as a useless failure anyway. As it is, they find themselves overworked managing so many public sector ventures, that they throw up their hands and give up.
We need to be a civil society movement, not a political movement.
I guess this means I’m somewhat corrupted by your standards. I’ve never held a passing interest(Quite the opposite-Complete hostility towards!) in fishing and hunting, but the rest of the things I’m interested in.
But anyway, I like Ron Paul or a hypothetical like him, since he’s simply using politics as a vehicle to help spread the message of liberty.
I always get the impression that Peter Schiff is way too into himself, even though he has some legitimate claim to fame. I think a lot of people would prefer someone more modest. 100% confidence is simply arrogance. I wonder if this had anything to do with voters shying away, but more likely there were other reasons that I have no understanding or grasp of.
Arrogance has nothing to do with 100% confidence. Quite the opposite. Arrogance is a cover up for lack of confidence, an act to fool others. Confidence doesn’t care what people think.
If it cost them $24 million to snag a primary, this is great news. As long as we keep fighting, there are no such things as losses. At $24 million per win, give them all the “wins” we can. Keep giving them their all the Pyrrhic victories that they cannot afford. Keep the price of their “victories” as high as possible both in dollars and in exposure to the truth.
I’d say the mcmahon’s have their fingers on the pulse of the impoverished white demographic of america fairly well (as evidenced by the success of their business). it shouldn’t be surprsing that making billions in pandering to the lowest impulses of humanity led to a successful run in a democratic election.
