Communists like Michael Moore love to bash free market capitalism, and point to our deteriorating economy as evidence for their belief.
But the United States does NOT have a free enterprise system. What we have is a 50-50 amalgamation between Marx's communist system and Jefferson's free market ideal. (Under Obama, those percentages are shifting rapidly in favor of Marx!)
Our economic woes come from Marx's "side of the family"....not Jefferson's!
Examples:
Monetary Policy
Jefferson: Feared central banks, advocated a Gold Standard for our currency
Marx: Advocated a central bank that could print fiat money out of thin air and lend it back to us at interest!
Well, guess what caused the real estate bubble which kicked off this recession?..and the perpetual debt that we are all in......You got it...Marx's Central Bank.
Taxes
Jefferson: Wanted minimal taxation, to be collected by tariffs and excise taxes
Marx: He championed a heavy income tax.
Which do we have today burdening our businesses and households?
Deficit Spending? .... National Debt? .....Internationalism and its cost to our Treasury?
Which philosopher prevails today?...Answer: Marx...Marx...and Marx.
Neat trick these lefties have played. They distort the free market with their schemes...and then they blame the free market itself for our problems.
