“Great stuff ...”
Yes, and I would bet that a lot of those who reflexively and perpetually vote for Democrats would agree with a large number of these - but just haven’t taken the time or made the effort to consider these things.

Thank you for posting this. Great quotes.

"When everybody owns something, nobody owns it, and nobody has a direct interest in maintaining or improving its condition. That is why buildings in the Soviet Union - like public housing in the United States - look decrepit within a year or two of their construction…" Good one...

6) “The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another.” Great stuff AND pure gold...

The problem is, there are only about 4 in 20 people who have ever heard of Freidman or these ideas, and about 13 in twenty who argue against them no matter what.
