Michael Rothschild Quote

"Fortunately, political freedom and economic progress are natural partners.
Despite capitalism's lingering reputation as the source of all the world's evils,
the fact remains that every single democracy is a capitalist country.
Half a century of economic experimentation proved beyond doubt that tyranny cannot yield prosperity. ...
Socialism collapsed because it is a policy of unrestrained intervention.
It tries to fix what is 'wrong' with the spontaneous, self-organizaing phenomenon called capitalism.
But, of course, a natural process cannot be 'fixed.' ...
Socialism is an ideology. Capitalism is a natural phenomenon."

If you rob Peter to pay Paul you will always get Paul's support and his vote. Let's hope the Pauls don't out number the Peters in November.  -- jim k, Austin, Tx      1
"Democracy is the road to socialism" -- Karl Marx. Capitalism and democracy are only compatible when democracy is limited by the rights to one's life, liberty, and property. Mob rule always ends up voting to steal, kill, and oppress others.  -- E Archer, NYC      1
