scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
There was a truly great "Motivational image" on the internet that showed a little puppy and a blonde staring intently at a chessboard. The caption was something about understanding that some tasks will forever remain out of reach, like teaching a blonde how to play chess.
God himself could not teach liberals how a free market economy works. This is because they stubbornly cling to the long debunked static model. They are so narrow in their sight, they truly believe as P.J. O'Rourke said if someone get an extra slice of pizza, that someone has to eat the box.
Back in the 92 campaign, there was a lot of talk withing the GOP about a flat tax. On This Week With David Brinkley, there was a debate on the subject. Sam Donaldson kept insisting that such a tax would not be fair. He kept going on and on about how the rich should pay more taxes than the poor.
George Will, Cokie Roberts and even Brinkley himself attempted to school the moron that under a flat tax, the the rich WOULD pay more. This man was a talking head on a nationally syndicated show, and he could not grasp the idea that someone making 20 million a year would pay a hell of a lot more than someone making 20 thousand a year.
He basically gave up on the subject, vowing to "Research the issue." Teaching people like this is like tying to teach a blonde how to play chess!
Leonard, Perhaps the curtains didn't match the rug, but I've lost to several blondes in chess. I was playing the long game. (At least that's what I tell myself).
Nice video, but there are some flaws in his presentation, first, most business startup lending is done without help from our local banks but that said, this guy Dan Joseph (twitter DanJoseph78) is a rabid NeverTrumper. I can't seen to square that he's against a businessman occupying the White House. Perhaps he never heard of President Calvin Coolidge or to paraphrase his famous quote "the business of America is business."
So there must be a "lower class economics" somewhere?

Leonard,

Leonard, I remember watching that very sequence and referenced it a few times when I was on FR.
ReplyDeleteRoger, that one made me wonder how someone
ReplyDeleteso monumentally stupid, and unable to under-
stand grade school math could be paid that
much!
I am a lousy public speaker, but for that
kind of money, I would lose my fear of it in
a nanosecond.
One question for the C&S fans out there:
Why do we spend so much time losing to
these idiots?
