This is the problem with altruism. If altruism is believed to be man's prime virtue, then the next step is the belief that if some are not altruistic then they are bad people because they are depriving others of what they must provide them. Then, the final step is the belief that those non-altruistic people need to be forced to be altruistic.

Mohammedanism is a crime against reason, reality, and life proper to a rational being.

libtards are delighted with disasters because they can both blame Republicans and call for more and bigger government interventionism in the economy and the destruction of capitalism.

Inflation undermines capital formation in five major ways, which can be described under the following heads:
1) reversal of safety
2) tax effects
3) prosperity delusion and overconsumption
4) malinvestment
5) the withdrawal-of-wealth effect.
Chronic destruction of capital leads to economic stagnation and decline.

Economic progress is the result of capital accumulation, and capital accumulation is the result of policies that lead to increased savings and investment and productive expenditure such as lower taxes, less government interventionism, less government spending, lower government deficts,increased respect for property rights, and rationality in the culture.

By reducing the taxes Apple has to pay, it is able to save more,productively expend more, and increase its capital accumulation. These are highly beneficial to production. They increase demand for capital goods and accumulation of capital goods and increase demand for labor. Increase in demand for capital goods leads to increase in total ability to produce and total production, which leads to increased supply and lower prices to consumers. Increase in demand for labor leads to higher wage rates and increases in employment.All of these help raise the standard of living of the average wage earner.

The solution to poverty that free market economics offers is, the freedom of the individual.--i.e., laissez-faire capitalism--a system in which each individual pursues his own true interests and, at the same time, is necessarily led to promote the good of those with whom he deals, as the necessary condition of obtaining their voluntary cooperation. This is the engine for transforming poverty into prosperity. In its effectiveness in overcoming poverty, it surpasses the futile gestures of traditional, altruist/collectivist morality, which has been handed down unchanged in all essential since the Middle Ages.

In the recovery phase after a recession, when aggregate demand has been increased by an increase in the money supply, there is an increase in sales revenues, income, and profit margins. This leads to an increase in aggregate profit and rate of profit. There is also an expansion of aggregate savings which leads to more investment. More investment leads to increased demand for securities, and more profit leads to increased demand for equity securities.

Blacks are not opposed to competition in sports. In a free and modern division of labor society, one gets by when one is able to gain values by competition in the positive creation of new and additional wealth. Just like in sports,the harder one works,the more one is able to compete, and the more wealth one is able to create and gain.

But libtards' desire for power and control will soon overcome this realization.

Katniss Everdeen's temperament was probably choleric. A girl with a different temperament might be attracted to a different type of man than mentioned in the article.

This is an example of an emotionalistic libtard who is letting emotions and wishful thinking overcome reality and reason.

Of course he's not upset that the kid can't subtract 1 from 2. Libtards don't want kids to learn. Stupid kids grow up to be voters for libtard policies.

What is mastery? As you can see above, it's cooperation. Forced cooperation, no doubt, through the use of experts in science.(As you will see below)

The most important principle to grasp about the central planning of socialism is that it leads to anarchy of production, and that its economic consequences are essentially the same as those which result from universal price controls. And universal price controls lead to economic chaos.

In a modern division of labor society, order, harmony, coordination, and proper balance are achieved by means of the proper functioning of the free market price system plus the uniformity principles of profits, prices, and wages. There is no need for drift and mastery.

In a modern division of labor economy, the earning of money becomes an essential aspect of productive activity. This is because in order to live in such an economy, one must obtain the goods and services of other people. Those goods and services are not given away for free, nor, to any significant extent are they, or could they be, obtained through barter. To obtain the goods and services of others, one must possess money. Thus, if one's productive activity is to be appropriate to life in a division of labor society, that is, to be the means of obtaining the goods and services of others, it is essential that it be moneymaking. Only then, does one's activity make it possible for one to share in the benefits of a division of labor society.

Lost ad sales does not falsify or negate objective truth.

Libtards love the evil and hate the good for being the good.

Keynesian libtards believe that government spending is good for the economy even if it is for wars or worthless things such as pyramids. They ignore the fact that in creating more worthless government jobs, they are just creating more parasites that could not exist without draining the wealth of the producers.

what about mohammedans wearing backpacks? They should be reported too.

It is easy when the Fed can create money out of thin air and lend it to the treasury.Who cares about pesky inflation and loss of purchasing power of the dollar if it makes libtards feel good inside.

Economic rights such as the above are not the same as natural rights which are God given. To grant economic rights to some means violating natural rights of others. How can a government guarantee health care to everyone without violating the rights of doctors and making them slaves? The Founders did not approve of anarchic freedom, where some are free to violate the rights of others, no matter how noble the cause.

British birds benefit from climate change

Most of the American colonies were organized and administered as semi-private enterprises, not subject to the same onerous government as Britain, and were generally left to see to their own affairs. When the British government attempted to assert its authority through what were mild taxes and regulations by English standards, these actions struck colonists, who were used to being largely ignored by Whitehall in London, as tyrannical.

If politicians want tax cuts to go to increases in saving, investment, productive expenditure, wages and employment, and less net consumption by businessmen and capitalists, then they must provide the proper pro-business environment also. This involves more freedom, more secure property rights, more cultural rationality,less welfare, social justice, redistributionism, and egalitarianism. This will promote a compelling future for businessmen which means a greater desire for wealth creation in the long run rather than immediate gratification with consumption in the present.

This sounds like a default of justice. The man who adopts a policy of moral neutrality, refraining equally from praise or blame does not wipe out the moral facts thereby.What he accomplishes instead is to blind himself to the role of morality in man's life, subvert his own character, and lose the ability to deal with other men on the basis of objective principles.The result is to consign his human relationships to the realm of chance.And in addition, he becomes and ally in the sense of leaving evil uncensored and unopposed, free to continue its course of destruction,.

Many libtards suffer from the mentality of compartmentalization, where they are smart in their chosen profession but are worthless when it comes to current events.

Libtards believe in the anarchic concept of freedom combined with the ends justifies the means and might makes right. For them, the government is free to use force and violate natural rights if it will achieve libtard ends.

This belief is an example of being motivated by immediate interests rather than by true interests. A decrease in government spending may reduce aggregate demand in the short run, but in the long run, a balanced budget combined with reduced taxes and reduced government borrowing, and a stable money supply would achieve the vital goal of increasing saving and capital formation, which leads to capital accumulation, which leads to economic progress and prosperity and lower prices and higher standard of living for the average wage earner.

The failure to reduce government spending on the other hand, makes the achievement of greater saving and capital formation either altogether impossible or possible only at the price of sacrificing the freedom of the mass of wage and salary earners to dispose of their own incomes.

Keynes wanted to make economics agree with the belief of progressives and Marxists that expanded government interventionism, and government spending and budget deficits, and labor legislation was better for the economy and employment than free markets in prices and labor.

A spontaneous remonetization of the precious metals and a 100% gold standard would be a hedge against inflation and deflation, and would bring stability to the system of money and end the boom-bust episodes of the business cycle. And, in addition, it would inhibit war, growing national debt and totalitarianism.But, since it would make it harder to enact social justice, the libtards and Keynesians will oppose it.

To the extent that a country has a welfare system,tax supported hospitals and schools, public housing, and so on, and the immigrants come to take advantage if these offerings the effect is a corresponding loss to the present inhabitants of the country, who have to pay the costs.

As for our country, immigration helps us.

In a modern division of labor society, the fact is that a larger umber of people working and producing is itself the cause of a larger supply of capital goods, which results in an increase in total production and total productive ability, which leads to prosperity, capital accumulation, economic progress, and higher standard of living for the average wage earner in the long run.

another libtard who:
1) is trying to play the victim card
2) loves big government so much that she refuses to recognize that it is the government's fault, and not a slave society, that imposes such large taxes in the first place.

When you play the game according to libtard rules, you have already lost.

Achievement of happiness requires gaining and keeping real goods such as health, wealth, and knowledge. The science of economics is able to demonstrate that gaining wealth requires prosperity, and prosperity requires economic progress, and that economic progress is best attained with a modern division of labor, which requires natural rights and free markets.

An assault on saving leads to reduced investment and productive expenditure which leads to reduced demand for capital goods and reduced demand for labor. These result in less production and lower standard of living for the average wage earner.

America’s Constitution is outdated.
Karl Marx was a great philosopher.
FDR’s New Deal saved America.
  Senator Joe McCarthy was evil.
Martin Luther King was a Saint.
Capitalism is about greed and socialism is about charity.
Men and women are the same.
There is no such thing as race.
Man ‘evolved’ from ocean scum.
Global Warming is a proven fact.
There are no government conspiracies.
Homosexuality is normal.
Guns and religion are evil.

To escape such rubbish, libtards must develop enough character to be able to learn to give up emotionalism, and to reject social metaphysics and groupthink mentality, and learn to develop their own ability to have independent rational judgment. Unfortunately, most libtards are unable or unwilling to do this.

Could evil be caused by brain abnormalities? Violence and aggression has been found to be associated with
1) decreased activity in the prefrontal cortices (trouble thinking)
2) increased cingulate activity (getting stuck on thoughts)
3) focal increased or decreased activity in the left
temporal lobe (short fuse)
4) focal increase activity in the basal ganglia and/or limbic system (anxiety and moodiness).

So, its ok to move production to a cheaper state but not to a cheaper country.That doesn't seem rational.

Tariffs prevented exploiters of labor from getting rich here on sweatshops abroad

But it was bad for American consumers because the protectionism caused higher prices for consumers in the long run.

And so it came to pass. U.S. real wages have not risen in 40 years.

When prices keep going higher thanks to protectionism and government inflation of the money supply, real wages will not rise despite a rise in money wage rates.

And since paper and checkbook money can be created out of thin air by the government, in any quantity, for any purpose, and for all practical purposes, effortlessly and costlessly, that should not be a problem for libtards.But the power to create it constitutes an unlimited power to buy up the people's wealth and depreciate the value of money.

There is an overarching factor, one always at work, that shapes the minds and distinctive achievements of its cultural creators and makes sense of the past and can be helpful in predicting the future. That factor is how one thinks or what is the predominant mode of thought of a culture. The mode of thought that made America great was integration. As this gets replaced by disintegration (Kant, pragmatism, postmodernism, linguistic analysis, nihilism), or by misintegration (marxism, mohammedism, metaphysical materialism), we are headed toward totalitarianism.

MARX, ENGELS, AND THE ABOLITION OF THE FAMILY

In a free society, one of the main factors that increases the standard of living of the average worker, is for production and supply to increase, which causes prices to decrease. But, thanks to Keynesian libtards, government spending, deficits, and huge increases in the money supply has prevented that.

What works is stricter enforcement of the more than 20000 existing gun laws. Libtards have consistently opposed more stringent programs and penalties for repeat gun offenders such as Project Exile and other such programs. Yet those programs have dramatically reduced gun crime by getting off the streets those criminals most likely to commit gun related crimes.

Keynesian libtards believe that government spending is good for the economy. So, anything that increases it is good

And increased government borrowing, along with huge government budget deficits, and higher taxes are an assault on saving, investment, and capital accumulation, which will aggravate the restraining of economic growth. The inflation caused by the increase in the money supply is there, and is showing up in the fact that prices have not dropped like they should have during a severe recession.

Libtards are emotionalists. They are motivated by feelings and refuse to or are unable to rationally connect cause (liberal policies) and effect (destruction). So, if it feels good, it must be right.

For postmodernist libtards,there is no universal objective truth. Their substitute is written or verbal statements that reflect only particular local stories told by various cultures.So, for them, if a story sounds like it should be true, and makes them feel good,then it is true.

No, but the choice to think or not to think is man's basic freedom of choice.And choosing to think is something that libtards are either unable or unwilling to do, which leaves them with subjectivism, emotionalism, and social metaphysics with its groupthink mentality.

Deciding that something is a value by polls and focus groups is a method of social metaphysics and groupthink mentality.Objective values are determined by a process of cognition based on reality and a proper standard of value which are able to produces principles.

Prosperity requires economic progress, and economic progress requires all of the following factors:
1) private property rights
2) rational culture that accepts scientific progress
3) technological progress and the means of implementing it
4) capital accumulation and capital markets
5) low taxes
6) sound money and sound financial system

To achieve the above, there are two alternatives to choose from: either capitalism or government interventionism. Government interventionism is destructive to all of the above, which leaves capitalism as the best choice for achieving prosperity.
