As I posted on another thread, it’s pretty simple when you just look at which came first: Ford’s car (and those of other early automakers preceded roads, especially paved roads; the Wrights’ airplane preceded airports; steamships preceded canals; and the PC-—which made the Internet possible-—preceded the Internet. Indeed, each critical element of the Internet, including Bell’s modem, Andreasson’s Netscape, Hewlett Packard’s microprocessor; all made the Internet actually work commercially.
I would rather have a poorly performing economy that is guided by the principles of a free market than a centrally planned and government-controlled economic system that appears to work amazingly well. Beware, fellow FReepers - this may be a choice we will have to make some day.

We will all be guaranteed jobs in the Obama state....and housing....and healthcare. But there will be no unemployment compensation....because there will be no unemployment, Comrade.
It's all about the redistribution of the wealth, as He said.
China is capitalizing socialism -OR- socializing capitalism.. either way same result..
Why China does work and Russia did not work..
The more Capitalism a country employs the more successful it WILL BE..
I say this even though my back row is going.. DUUUUUGH!...
I have some rowdy students.
Not even that camel's nose Mr. Krauthhammer. Caring for the orphan is a classic function of private charity, not government.
In fact, one of the central purposes of the Marxist attack on religious freedom is to produce an indentured constituency. The bigger and more numerous they are, the more voters there are willing to allow government the power to control the marketplace, to the benefit of the extremely rich: the limousine liberal.
Obama is so out of step. Even if I think somebody or something else helped build my business, government isn’t on the list.
Government is the pain in the ass tax man and buerocrats who drive every businessman crazy.
Why should anyone lend credibility to what Krauthammer says. He was a shameless shill for John Roberts health care decision.
