Default So you really think there's greed on Wall Street?

Watch and maybe you might learn something!

I'm not really an economics geek. But if I were, Friedman would be my idol.

Don't get fleeced by the proponents of socialist ideology

I have capitalized heavily most of my life, following the same stratigy as Friedman. He is absolutely correct about greed and self indulgence. The problem is that everybody in the whole world cannot use this stratigy or way of thinking to their benafit, only a small percentage are able to greedily scratch their way to wealth. This creates monopoly, and powerfull lobby in politics, and feeling of careless for countries, forthe financial health of thepeople as a whole. I agree that his Idealoligy works, but it has created the problems we have today with the masses of people unable to do the same. Although, as a single person craving wealth, it would be wise to listen to Friedman.

I don't even think the Great, All Merciful, All Powerful, Messiah, Lord of All Virtue, Obama could touch that with a TelePrompTer.

I think the real greed comes from people who want something that someone else has worked for.

Capitalism-You live off the fruits of your labor.

Socialism- You live off the fruits of someone else's labor.

People like you just amaze me. You live in the best system on the planet and you somehow just cannot see the benefits.

The above captioned quote is the best description of a socialist strategy, not capitalism. Substitute the words " pure socialism" for "this strategy" and tattoo it to your forehead. Maybe one day it will occur to you.
