food for thought

“Anyone who says that economic security is a human right, has been too
much babied. While he babbles, other men are risking and losing their
lives to protect him. They are fighting the sea, fighting the land,
fighting disease and insects and weather and space and time, for him,
while he chatters that all men have a right to security and that some
pagan god — Society, The State, The Government, The Commune — must
give it to them. Let the fighting men stop fighting this inhuman earth
for one hour, and he will learn how much security there is.” — Rose
Wilder Lane, “The Discovery of Freedom”
via Francis Porretto’s Liberty’s Torch ‘Tension And Habitat Part 5: Safety And Adaptation’
“In effect, a species that protects its weakest members too effectively
has created a sub-habitat suitable for dominance by a parasite class.” FWP

    If the left really cared about poor people, they’d support free markets. A free market is simply giving Man the ability to fight the sea, land, disease, insects, weather, space and time as he best sees fit.

    The freer the markets the better the lowest common denominator does. The lessons of history are perfectly clear.

      Well, yes, they are PFZ–but if the lessons of history were to be applied, then politicians would have less power and a smaller constituency.
      So they won’t.

      I agree pinko. However the problem lies with the parasitic class – which consists of an unholy alliance between the indolent class and the cadre class.
