What is Capitalism
Rand's simple and simplistic idea is that scientists, inventors, or architects cannot produce without the context of absolute freedom, either political (undefined) or economical. Individual rights eventually under ALL systems transform, and most often degrade. For instance, there is no such thing as a democracy in modern terms, and anyone who has ever had 5th grade civics knows this. There is no democracy on earth, and Ayn Rand should have known that if she knew anything!
Bill O'Reilly: America becoming Chaotic, If Romney Were President 'We Wouldn't Be In This Mess'
3/4/13 - In his first television interview since losing the 2012 presidential election, Mitt Romney told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday how much it "kills" him not to be in the White House, "doing what needs to be done" during Washington's fight over the sequester. Judging from his Talking Points Memo segment Monday night, it's also killing Bill O'Reilly. O'Reilly began by comparing President Obama's leadership on the sequester to that of Abraham Lincoln, arguing that Lincoln would never have let the sequester happen. But he then turned his attention to the president's most recent political rival, saying, "If Mitt Romney had defeated President Obama, we wouldn't be in this mess." As evidence, he showed a clip from Romney's Fox interview. Romney was incredulous in his interview Sunday about the president's seeming inflexibility on the spending cuts, indicating that perhaps it was more important for Obama to "show pain" and blame it on Republicans than to actually solve the budget issues. O'Reilly wholeheartedly agreed with Romney, saying all the president cares about it "raising taxes" and "redistributing income," "everything else be damned." He also argued that the media is defending Obama's position, pointing to House Speaker John Boehner's interview with David Gregory on Meet The Press Sunday. But O'Reilly didn't put much more faith in Boehner or his Democratic counterpart Senator Harry Reid. He evidently sees a leader-less Washington that desperately needs the guiding hand of Mitt Romney to step in and fix everything. While no one is applauding Congress or the president for handling the sequester issue perfectly, isn't it far too easy for an outsider like Romney who has no more political stakes left in the fight to claim he has all of the answers?

Judge Napolitano: Obama Administration Doesn't Understand Economics 101
Judge Napolitano argues that the government makes an economic mistake when it raises taxes too high "because people that are able to control their income will defer it or receive the income in other ways, end up earning less and paying the government less." He continued, "So, not only are the government's tax revenues down, but the economic activity generated by that wealth is down." "They just don't understand the sort of basic Economics 101," he concluded.
Webster Tarpley ~ IMF meddling worsens Egypt economy
Webster Tarpley tells Press TV meddling by International Monetary Fund (IMF) will worsen the Egypt economy and spark more clashes across the north African country. At least 157 people have been injured in clashes between Egyptian police and demonstrators in the Suez Canal city of Port Said. The Egyptians launched the revolution against the pro-Israeli regime on January 25, 2011, which eventually brought an end to Mubarak's 30-year-long dictatorship on February 11, 2011. Egypt has been gripped by nationwide unrest in recent months. Protesters want Morsi to pursue the goals of the revolution that toppled former dictator Hosni Mubarak in 2011. Press TV has conducted an interview with Dr. Webster Griffin Tarpley, author and historian (Washington), to further discuss the issue of clashes in Egypt.
