The real job creators are the vast middle class and the poor, whose spending... Where does their money to spend come from, Bob...can I call you Bob?? In the midget's world, obviously from government largesse.

Wretched little dwarf that he is. He perverts economic principles to support his elitist big government argument

"...There are lots places in this world filled with the poor...Funny how wealth just doesnt spring out of those places..." Well, THAT is simply because they don't have efficient perpetual motion machine governments like ours that simply create wealth by taking money from citizens in the form of taxes and doling it out to people so they can buy products with it and create more wealth!
Conservatives are sooooooo stupid!

Isn't the free market what existed on the internet and what helped accelerate the medium's evolution?

“Macroeconomics is the pretend scientific study of non-scientific phenomenon by persons who do not understand anything much about the reality of their subjects variables, in order to do something apparently useful with a very expensive Ivy League education.

Liberals simply don’t believe that wealth can be “created”. They think the concept is absurd.
We know that wealth CAN be created from an idea.
To liberals, the fact that wealth can spring from an idea and hard work is anathema.
In their mind, it does so only at the grace of the government.
We see it happening in SPITE of the government.

His first 2 points are delusional. (no surprise there) Regarding #3, I guess he is in disagreement, then, with this current administration (not to mention the RINOs) who are beholden to $$.
GM & their unions, big pharma, big agriculture (ethanol subsidies, etc.), Solyndra, Keystone XL pipeline (gotta keep Warren Buffet & his railroads happy), George Soros, et al.

Reich lives in a fantasy, removed from the basic reality of life, he imagines himself to be brilliant when he is spouting mostly nonsense.

The free market doesnt exist in nature. Its created and enforced by government.By this "logic" the biggest economies on Earth should historically have been centrally planned ones like the Soviet Union and North Korea, but they never get off life support until they abandon the oppressive control like the Chicoms.

Baloney, rubbish, and wrong.

Naturally, he's putting the cart before the horse, since one of the largest factors that motivates the creation of government is in order for people to be able to ensure that the property and wealth that they accumulate in ANY market (free or otherwise) can be protected by some system of laws, so that they continue those market efforts in confidence.

The three biggest myths....
1 - Government involvement helps (aka stimulus)
2 - Government regulations work (yeah, to choke growth)
3 - Taxes make it fair (more choking)
What a nasty little troll Reich is.

Baloney. The free market doesnt exist in nature.The regulatory state does not exist in nature. The free market exists in every single voluntary exchange.
