if u support free markets, you support the only system that supports liberty and equal rights. The more the governments interfere the more they generate hogwash to get peopel to bitch and moan and push agendas under guise of "equality" or other product slogans they liek to use. They simply trying to offer voters something for their votes, which they will take away from on group or another. And all things arent based on any principles. You can take the logic and apply in it another instance and people will say its completely wrong. Which begs the question why are people willingly ignoring simple logic through logical fallacies or ignorance to ignore the hypocrisies they support. And when presented they run. I understand its nice to have everything u want without a cost. Much liek a philosopher stone to turn lead into gold. But reality doesnt work that way. Time always corrects it.
Equal rights doesnt equal equality. No such thing as equality in economic sense. If history was to show the closest im guessing lenin would take that cake. And the saying we're equal in death comes to mind and the idea of Envy as a sin. Money doesnt equal health or happiness people really need to only concern themselves in selfish types of... well concerns. And selfish doesnt mean ok to be greedy. It means focus on what u got going and your happiness without comparisons.
And attack the rich is popular becuase they are fewer in number of votes, but what they lack in numbers they can defend in lobbyist dollars, or rather try to cheat the cheaters trying to cheat them. Thats not to say all lobby out of a ethical defense. And not to say when politicians push class warfare that sides dont get heated and sides go overboard. When politicians decide to tell people its right to tax more from the super rich for programs that supercede the ideology of a republic, and people cast their votes for such programs they loose the high moral highground when bitching against evil corps. Theyre both trying to get ahead in an unethical manner. And i think its wrong to support politicians using class warfare to push their careers. What good comes from it but turn classes into ravage beasts without principles trying anything and everything to elect their "leaders".
It really comes down to this. People who are agaisnt free market policies prefer larger government and central planning and will sacrifice the rights and liberties of others as long as its to their benefit. And to their benefit is key. All people are selfish. People are so quick to call something like being selfish or concerned with ones self interests as being evil. Its natural instinct. I.E. warren buffet talks the talk about charity and giving away money. Of course hes not giving away it all or any amount that would change his lifestyle now. And hes posturing to donate it all when hes dead and doesnt matter to him but will be a selfish attempt to get his name to last maybe another 100 years after hes gone. Peopel could say that his selfishness is evil in that hes not helping out family while pushing his selfish agenda to keep his name alive in tribute. I respect his right to his money and whatever he chooses to do with it. None of my concern.
Or people who prefer more liberty... and there are those who speak free markets only when it benefits them... and they operate on principles and logic and do so without contradiction. Much like Ron Paul. And that integrity is respectable. The principles are really what is good for the greater good.
But hey if u support a central plan. And equality, please dont say u also support equal rights/liberty. It just annoys people who get it. Say it simply like "hey i dont want a lot of individual responsibility, id rather people plan for me, offer me securities at costs to others besides me. i want my rights, but hey if i benefit from retarding others ill take it. I just dont really want to worry or think about this shit and i leave it in your hands. and ill be happy to vote along party lines that promote the packages that benefit me. But im going to bitch and moan if somehow i make too much money or am in a profession that acts as the sacrifical lamb. And ill blame the other team not mine even thought the philosophies are the same but differing on benefits to whom."
Ah now i feel much better.
