Were he alive today, Milton Friedman would be turning 96 years old.

Arguably the most important economic mind of the 20th century, his ideas and arguments have influenced generations of liberty-lovers.

didn't he endorse Obama though?

Either way, Milton is great in some aspects, but his monetarist ideas should be detestable to any Free Market oriented person.

I really doubt it, unless he's lost his mind. :rolleyes:

my bad, see what I get for listening to even a tid-bit of what the media says?

Oh, sure... celebrate the person who came up with the Income Tax paycheck WITHHOLDING system.

His actions as an FDR lackey have enslaved generations, and probably doomed our entire nation.



I think if I were ever to visit Milton Friedman's grave... I'd make certain to take a dog along (and I'd make certain he was "well hydrated" beforehand).
