Saving money is for jews
Favorite this video, show it to your fiance.
“Girls are cunts and they don’t care who dies for their fucking sparkles.”
Before you spew more stupid bullshit you might want to look up the facts the austrian school compiled to totally destroy your retarded non-producing douchebag theory which is backed by nothing but fear and propaganda. Fuck, and you people say Bush was a fear monger, no shit, but look at your new guy now..
Have you tried MAKING YOUR OWN CORPORATION, if it’S that simple and easy, why don’t you try it and give some depth to your shitty baseless argument. The propaganda you’re spewing is the basic government excuse to gain more power and coersive force. But no, of course, you don’t see that. All you see is the typical left wing liberal excuse “THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS THE CAUSE OF ALL EVIL!” when it is pretty god damn obvious “natural monopolies” don’t exist. Not by your retarded definition anyway.
I like that one dilbert cartoon where Dogbert calls a jeweller on the artificial diamond scarcity and he gets a sack full of diamonds to keep quiet.
Boy, you sure typed a lot without saying anything. I have as my evidence the entire history of corporations in America, from the railroad monopolies that better-informed men than us thought were a big problem to the banks that took our TARP money and are now increasing their risk-taking and lending less to American families. You present nothing but a bunch of boasts about great you are. Kiss my ass, blowhard. How is being wary of modern corporations anti-market? *Corporations* are anti-market!
John, you haven’t got the slightest clue what you’re talking about. You might want to inform yourself before speweing the most obvious anti-market propaganda out there. I can destroy any of your pretty liberal theories in a matter of seconds. Even your precious fear of monopolies. Way to blame an effect as the cause and just not inspect further. God i hate uninformed people.
Corporations are tools with which a tiny percentage of the human population gains a tremendous amount of power, protection and wealth. They aren’t glorious engines of progress and innovation: people are. Corporations are just a way for unprincipled scumbags to be even bigger scumbags (while bribing governments and misleading the public). And now the activist judges on the U.S. Supreme Court are about to give corporations more rights as citizens than people do. Enjoy!
at 9:05, louie confused hyperinflation saying it was in america, actually it was Germany after WW1 when they owed US money for the war. When they couldnt pay us, theyre money became worthless and they used to burn th money for warm since it was so worthless. Also led us to going into the great depression since we backed Germany .
Obama president nah
It’s funny to listen to economic illiterates babble on and on about things they think they know.
that’s not even a conspiracy anymore. Bill Maher had it in his book about how warlords sell diamonds to “legitamate companies” or ppl like Al Quada, to profit. so in a way, holes support terrorism.
“wheres da beers based out of?”
“um…my mothers cunt”
LOL!
As far as i know Louis and Bill have only both been in studio once, and they mostly ripped on Menino, Boston, and the “I saw the soigns” girl.
Or I should say ON conspiracy theories.
Has Louis and Bill ever battle with conspiracy theories? Cause that would be epic.
