Who is 'free enterprise' good for?

2012-01-22T10:22:00.001-08:00

"Free enterprise can't be justified because it's good for business -- it isn't. It can only be justified because it's good for society." --Peter Drucker quoted on CNBC, October 10, 2002

"Right" or privilege?

You own a "right." If it's a privilege, someone else loaned it to you. Temporarily. --L. Reichard White, December 16, 2011, 12:58:44

THE Common Enemy?

2011-12-31T05:55:00.001-08:00

As Americans we must always remember that we all have a common enemy, an enemy that is dangerous, powerful, and relentless. I refer, of course, to the federal government. --Columnist Dave Barry

Governments are themselves such doom machines, ones over which we have even less control than we have over corporations. If you don't like a particular corporation, stop buying and paying for "its" products. If that's not enough, organize a boycott, etc. As Sam Walton pointed out,

"There is only one boss--the customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else." --Sam Walton

Because of constant inexorable FREE market competition (which, thanks to governments, we don't have), corporations are very very sensitive to their customers. Proof furnished on request.

What's the equivalent control over government doom machines?

Victor Milan, Two more Strategic Errors

2011-11-02T16:26:00.001-07:00

Yeah, that part of OWS which imagines government will save it expects to be rescued from the rich and powerful by ... the rich and powerful.

Phony oppositions - Democrat vs. Republican, Government vs. Big Business - have formed a key part of the fraud which is the State over much if not all of the millennia over which it's been socializing cost and centralizing gain.

Government doing nothing - - -

2011-09-14T06:46:00.001-07:00

The government doing nothing isn't everyone doing nothing. However, the government doing something often causes others to do nothing. For several reasons.

1. Government uses up resources others would otherwise have to do something.

2. People assume that if the government is doing it, they don't need to.

3. People worry that if they do something and the government doesn't approve, they may be prosecuted for doing something. --L. Reichard White, Wednesday, September 14, 2011 9:43 AM

If I perceive "The Government" is taking care of it -- or might take care of it -- or might not approve of what I do to take care of it -- at worst, I can relax awhile. At best, I can forget about it entirely. I egotistically call this "White's Law of Halo Damping." My personal response is damped within the halo of perceived government action. --L.

Universal epitaph

2011-05-14T09:44:00.001-07:00

Note that Fascism (crony Capitalism) creates an internal struggle between the politicians and their contributors (businesspersons). This creates the false impression with the public that business and government are adversaries. While the specific winners and losers may change the game remains the same. The only constant losers are the outsiders, e.g., the tax payers. How ironic that the taxpayers indorse the system, decade after decade, century after century, but not the result. Those who blame business are called liberals. Those who blame big gov are called conservatives. We are getting what we deserve. Few understand the root of the problem: centralized power is not controllable, constructive, or rational. Every civilization has been destroyed by it and we are in our last decades. --Don Duncan, May 11, 2011

"There is perhaps no empirical regularity among economic phenomena that is based on so much evidence for so wide a range of circumstances as the connection between substantial changes in the quantity of money and in the level of prices." ... "It follows ... that inflation is always and everwhere a monetary phenomenon in the sense that it is and can be produced only by a more rapid increase in the quantity of money than in output." --Milton Friedman, quoted in Judy Shelton, Money Meltdown (New York: The Free Press 1994), p. 176 & 177

Descriptions of foreign leaders via the latest Wikileak's release of U.S. documents describes Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai as "paranoid." Let's see, a U.S. puppet "leading" a tribal culture with U.S. guards for protection. If he's NOT paranoid, he's crazy. --L. Reichard White, Monday, November 29, 2010 12:03 AM

Does it bother you at all as a "taxpayer," that you (and your kids grand kids and the yet unborn) were involuntary "investors" in GM, AIG, Goldman Sachs, CITI, J.P. Morgan, Fanny & Freddy, etc? And that Uncle Scam now considers investing your money in failing businesses as Standard Operating Procedure? --L. Reichard White, Sunday, November 21, 2010 10:58 AM

There's always a discount on an I.O.U. The amount depends on its
perceived likely-hood of being paid. The dollar is, in essence, such an
I.O.U. The perception of repayment is dropping and you can follow it
by watching the value of dollars on the market. --L. Reichard White, Tuesday, November 09, 2010 11:04 AM

It's your DUTY!

2010-10-09T16:12:00.001-07:00

When you're flying with small children, why do they tell you to put on your oxygen mask first in an emergency?

ANSWER: Because the children might not be able to take care of themselves - - - and if you don't take care of yourself first, you might not be able to either. This applies in a LOT of situations. So, especially if you're going to help others, it's your duty to take care of yourself first. --L. Reichard White, 1998
