Milton Fieldmen’s teaching need to be much more mainstream

Milton Friedman, brilliant guy. RIP.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be most oppressive. ... those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

CS Lewis

Even though Dr Friedman said this decades ago, what he said is so applicable today. Look at the Covid response.

[maryfrawley]

He just described the current Great Reset

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

To have socialism you must constantly repress people’s energy of living and aspiring. You must get more and more ruthless in suppression to completely make them feel hopeless.

Prime Ministers of Canada and Great Britain and Australia are like this.

[ianj]

In essence, he believed in live and let live. Too many people believe their ideals are superior to others and want to forcibly impose them on others in the name of “virtue”

Climate. Change. laws are the perfect illustration of this.

[christophertaylor]

That's a misquote but its basically correct. Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely is the more accurate quote.

[markmiller]

He's talking about Democrats. "We know what's good for you."

[jimhughes]

All day long!!
There are no "good" humans 😎...

[patriciamccandless]

He just described Hitler. And the far left.

[jacinda]

"The goody goodies are the thieves of virtue. It's the problem of kindly let me help you or you'll drown said the monkey safely placing a fish up a tree."

[eltonron]

Why didn't he just say Obama?
He told the 3 letter agencies, they had no guilt in being non transparent, and unaccountable.

[elcamino]

And that is what the Democratic platform is today.

[no-bozos]

Thus the reason for the 2nd amendment.
