More Proof Freedom is the Best Economic Policy

Freedom = Economic Growth

The study may be a bit dry, but I cannot emphasize the results enough. In plain English, I've proven capitalism, free markets, and a smaller state correlates with higher economic growth.



We may philosophically or logically understand this, but rarely do we have the charts and the data to conveniently prove it, especially when we're debating those on the left. Of course, not that charts, data, reality, truth, or empiricism work on leftist religious zealots, but this simple chart will at least force them to resort to their "I don't believe the figures" or "correlation is not causation" type of cowardly, retreating tactics.

on the merits of this alone.


XI. Official Languages

We call for the repeal of the Official Languages Act, and any other legislation compelling individuals to use certain languages. We believe that the federal government should provide services in English, French, or any other language provided that the costs of such services are borne by the individuals requesting them.

I likes it.

One problem though: they'll have to abrogate the linguistic provisions of the Constitution before they can repeal the OLA. Though I'd be for that too.

One problem I do find with the Libertarian Party is its promise to cut taxes. If it just promised to reduce expenditure with tax cuts being conditional on a balanced budget, their platform would be even better.

After 35 years we're still waiting for the proof.

Lovely graph. What the hell does it mean? Since the Y and X axis are not labeled it could stand for anything.

X = economic growth, Y = government spending.

Endless growth is not only unsustainable, but ludicrous.

Meanwhile, conbots fervently support the military, which is the most authoritarian, left wing measure of a state.

Yep, we useta fight authoritarian socialism with an authoritarian socialist military.

Go figure.

Good news is now we're not fighting the authoritarian socialists. Now we're fighting the Muzzies.

Thanks Obama.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Thanks Obama.

Inorite? That sneaky n****r established armies as authoritarian socialist systems about 4000 years ago, then inspired Karl Marx to write about socialism to justify it!

Boo Obama! And his little dog Trudeaubama!
