Why the American Middle Class Must Disappear...Lessons from Chile


A friend of mine once said, that "America is about to change in the most profound way..." He said this back in the 1980's when I was still too young to understand what he meant. But then a radical plan was proposed from the Chicago school of economic theory that proved him correct. I think he knew this was coming. His experience was from Chile.

When we compare his experience to what we see in America today there is very little difference.

Of all the sources Greg Palast sums the situation up the very best, an alumni of Chicago and student of Milton Friendman he gives us a rare insight into the mechanics of globalization that we see around us in America today: http://www.gregpalast.com/tinker-bell-pinochet-and-the-fairy-tale-miracle-of-chile-2

My friend Ty Anders over at FSU lays the reality of the American situation bare here: http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/andros/2007/0524.html

Not only do all of our economic theories and laws in current practice come from Chicago, but so too our zoning and the "other laws" and regulatory apparatus.

So will America change in a fundamental way? Yes. I want to say thanks to all the people in Chicago for all the hard work they have done in the deconstruction of American social life, political freedom and economic muscle. Your genocidal plans are working. Maybe it will create an Uber Chicago School society who will use the same policies on you.

Hats off to RSmitty over at Delaware Politics for explaining why this plan and system were made possible: http://delawarepolitics.net/2008/03/06/congressional-schedule/

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point:  Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo:  Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1.       Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...
