Several of these, for example #6, are so far beyond the comprehension ability of the average liberal American, that they might as well be written in Klingon.

:: 2) “The great danger to the consumer is the monopoly — whether private or governmental ::

I think we may have lost sight of the fact that, in this day*&age, government is the only entity that can “legally” be a monopoly.

And, that government will work diligently to be the monopoly of all business/industry in the US.

T.Rump needs to be reminded of saying number 1.

#2 is my favorite.

I’m more partial to Anna Schwartz personally.

Yeah, but be extra careful not to tell the supporters of Mr. Trump, because they will then say that Milton Friedman, like Tom Sowell and Walter Williams, is yet another GOPe hack and RINO shill.

And I'd say that these eternal truths will hold fast, long after Mr. Trump and yours truly are gone from this earthly sphere.

Yea verily, the combined demagoguery of Karl Marx, Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders shall not prevail against them.
