Liberalism Is A Simple Concept...

that's not what i get from your posts, you constantly bash one group and ignore others like they are innocent...

all i am seeing out of you and @Webster is thread after thread of liberals and liberalism being guilty of this and that...



No, I bash all groups you just don't pay enough attention. You can look not to far down of me jumping all over Rubio's new tax proposal as one example. And it is thread after thread of liberals and progressives. But can't help it if one group is doing more damage then another.
 
Self interest....greatest--hahaha, greatest amount of wealth for most people, lmao. God, you crack me up sometimes. Am I being pranked? I'm being pranked, aren't I? Ahhh, you should be a comedian. :lol2::rofl:


No joke even finally Bono has seen the light after seeing the world and all it hardships and how ONLY because of capitalism America has helped so many. All because of self interest. You get people out of poverty they become more productive. More production means more money. SELF INTEREST! And it is the whole reason why liberalism hates such things. Less poverty less people need government.

‘Entrepreneurial capitalism takes more people out of poverty than aid.” That statement came not from a tea-party leader or a congressional Republican, but from Bono, singer, celebrity, and global anti-poverty activist, speaking to Georgetown’s Global Social Enterprise Initiative last year.

Yet capitalism has done more to empower people and raise living standards than any other force in history. Throughout most of human history, nearly everyone was poor. Even our wealthiest ancestors enjoyed lower standards of living than ordinary people in America today. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that the masses started to enjoy real and growing prosperity. What was the difference? Capitalism and its offspring, the Industrial Revolution. As Charles Murray explains, “everywhere that capitalism subsequently took hold, national wealth began to increase and poverty began to fall. Everywhere that capitalism didn’t take hold, people remained impoverished. Everywhere that capitalism has been rejected since then, poverty has increased.” The transformation occurred first in the West, which was quickest to embrace capitalism, but is spreading now to the rest of the world. In the last 20 years, for instance, capitalism has lifted more than a billion people worldwide out of poverty, while the share of people in developing countries living on less than $1.25 a day has been cut in half.
