„Państwo to wielka fikcja, dzięki której każdy usiłuje żyć kosztem innych” Bastiat

„Nie ma takiego okrucieństwa ani takiej niesprawiedliwości, której nie mógłby dopuścić się skądinąd łagodny i liberalny rząd - jeśli zabraknie mu pieniędzy.” - Alexis de Tocqueville

Hazlitt: żadna inflacja w historii nie osiągnęła nic ponad dewaluacje pieniądza, redystrybucję zysków i strat, dezorganizację produkcji i gospodarczą demoralizację. Tak było zawsze, niezależnie od tego, czy zaczniemy od Rzymu, czy Johna Lawa i jego fałszerskiego schematu. I w podręcznikach do historii dzisiejszy okres będzie kiedyś oceniany zapewne tak samo.

Kapitalizm libertariański oparty na własności prywatnej to jedyny system kompatybilny z naturą człowieka.    H.de Soto

Popieram rząd ograniczony w maksymalnym możliwym stopniu, wliczając w to nawet brak państwa. H. de Soto

Aktualny stan rzeczy faworyzuje najniższe i najbardziej perwersyjne skłonności ludzkie.    H.de Soto

Definiuję socjalizm, jako każdy system instytucjonalnej agresji skierowanej przeciwko wolnej przedsiębiorczości. H.de Soto.

Socjalizm to błąd intelektualny. H.de Soto

Alexis de Tocqueville-najgroźniejszy moment przychodzi wtedy, kiedy marny rząd podejmuje ambitne reformy.

"Za co się państwo bierze, to spieprzy" T.Lis

Ale dopóki muzyka pras drukarskich gra, trzeba wstać i tańczyć.Rybiński

Jeśli chcemy utrzymać wolne społeczeństwo to za wszelką cenę musimy powstrzymać inflację wywoływaną przez rządy i władze monetarne.

gospodarka socjalistyczna to taki system, w którym ryzyko gospodarcze przeniesione jest z poziomu poszczególnych przedsiębiorstw (przedsiębiorców) na poziom państwa.

You cannot avoid the consequences of easy credit, just as you cannot avoid the consequences of taking amphetamines for months on end. The true lesson for society: don’t create monopoly mechanisms that foster easy credit. R.Prechter

If You Are in a Hole, Stop Digging!

The market would do whatever it could to cause the most pain to the most people

Government spending multiplier is zero (Professor Robert Barro's book, Macroeconomics - a Modern Approach)

Taxes have a multiplier effect of three. That means tax cuts increase GDP (over time) by three times their amount. But tax increases reduce GDP by three times the increase

As Thatcher said, socialism doesn’t work because you run out of other peoples money to spend (waste)

Things that don't make sense can go on longer than we think.

Tax cuts have a three-times-greater positive effect on GDP, and tax increases have the same level of negative effect.

Pumping money into as system does not improve quality; it increases prices.

Inflation is a tax on the middle class for the direct benefit of the government and those with first access to money (banks and the already wealthy).M.Shedlock

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "People will give their liberty in exchange for short term security. And in the end they will have neither"

Capitalism is primarily attacked by two groups: utopians who wish to impose a more “compassionate” system, and political capitalists who want to enjoy the fruits of success without bearing the pain of failure. They use the coercion of the state to gain privileges, at the expense of everyone else.

R. Prechter: Keynesians and monetarists are fundamentally wrong about everything

Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the confiscation of wealth - Alan Greenspan

Sir Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics, once said to his staff: “Gentleman, we have run out of money. It is time to start thinking.”

We’re going into a never-ending depression unless we repudiate the debt, which never should have been extended in the first place.

There is never enough debt to satisfy Keynesians.

There is never enough fiat currency to satisfy Monetarists.

I believe that if it were not for govemment interference with the monetary system, we would have no industrial fluctuations and no periods of depression. Hayek

bull markets inflate the belief in the power of central banks, while bear markets expose officials’ incompetence

Government stimulus and deficits have no long-run positive effect on GDP

Tax cuts have a three-times-greater positive effect on GDP, and tax increases have the same level of negative effect

Pumping money into a system does not improve quality; it increases prices

I believe that if it were not for govemment interference with the monetary system, we would have no industrial fluctuations and no periods of depression. Hayek

The political system is entirely under the control of the zombies. The only resolution of this is catastrophe — either in the form of bankruptcy, hyperinflation, war, revolution, or some combination.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."

Joseph Goebbels, Chief Nazi Propagandist

Social Security Trust Fund" is neither secure...nor funded...nor to be trusted.

as Bastiat said: the real cost of the state is the prosperity we do not see, the jobs that don’t exist, the technologies to which we do not have access, the businesses that do not come into existence, and the bright future that is stolen from us. The state has looted us just as surely as a robber who enters our home at night and steals all that we love.

“It is a central irony of financial crisis that while it is caused by too much confidence, too much borrowing and lending, and too much spending, it can only be resolved with more confidence, more borrowing and lending, and more spending.”

John Maynard Keynes in 1921, basically said: Inflation impoverishes a nation, secretly and quietly, creates enmity, but funds a government nonetheless.

Keynes in 1921:

“By a continuing process of inflation, Governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate arbitrarily; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some …. Those to whom the system brings windfalls …. become “profiteers” who are the object of the hatred … the process of wealth-getting degenerates into a gamble and a lottery .. Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”

The best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens.

John Maynard Keynes

People only accept change when they are faced with necessity, and only recognize necessity when a crisis is upon them.- Jean Monnet

 the problem is the government. The government is not the solution. Hyperinflations are made by governments, debt defaults are made by governments, exchange rates crises are made by governments.

every government program ultimately brings about the opposite of the stated goal

The Trouble With Socialism Is That Eventually Governments Run Out Of Other People's Money

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent - John Maynard Keynes

As Benjamin Franklin once said, "People will give their liberty in exchange for short term security. And in the end they will have neither"

government stimulus and deficits have no long-run positive effect on GDP

There is conservative Keynesianism and liberal Keynesianism which always fails and gives us the financial crisis we are in.
