Collectivism sucks! We must collectively fight it!
These first three sentences in particular demonstrate that you need to learn more about how the economy works. How do you get from Sentence #1 to...
FV Santiago, your posts are so full of macro-economic nonsense, I don't even know where to start. By all means...show me the data supporting each...
The other day I saw a mother refusing to buy her kid a large soda and opting for a medium instead. How does she not see that she's slowly being...
Let's collectively fight collectivism!
You need to brush up on your understanding of the banking system. The Federal Reserve is only capable of creating reserves. The only thing it...

He's been able to do that since 1986. Obamacare didn't suddenly give him an loophole to exploit.
Yeah, that's the part I don't get. How does PPACA change anything? He's been getting "free" health care since 1986 when EMTALA forced...
