A group of highly successful and very rich people who've earned their fortune by means of voluntary exchange on the free market and who now are hell bent to keep others from doing the same.

First, I am not a young man. I am in my late sixties. I’ve been an entrepreneur too, apparently not as successful as you because I didn’t retire for the first time until my mid-50’s. <br /><br />Your second wrong assumption is that you live in a “we society” and that I live in a “me society.” The truth is we both live in the same society, assumingSherman_Brodernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126823704276232783.post-84768068114424303582013-11-13T13:09:38.418-06:002013-11-13T13:09:38.418-06:00Sherman, obviously you are a very bright young man...Sherman, obviously you are a very bright young man, but our philosophies, our cores are quite different and we'll never agree on anything. <br /><br />I live in a "we society," while you live in a "me society." <br /><br />I was once like that; an entrepreneur, made and spent money, and always looked out for number one. Then I retired early (at 47) and traveled the world.

However, I submit that by defending the ACA or ObamaCare, you are implying the government knows best what's in a person's best interests. <br /><br />Saying the ACA is not a government program is like calling the Federal Reserve a private, free market entity.

I never implied or insinuated that Gov't knows more about a person's own self interests, even if many individuals don't either. <br /><br /><br />The ACA is NOT a government program; it is "insurance reform." <br /><br />As to the "science" of economics; that is a fallacy. Science is methodology.

I now believe that bureaucrats in Washington ARE better able to decide than Americans themselves what is in their own best interest.<br /><br /><br />Moreover, I now believe coercive government programs ARE more efficient in satisfying consumer demand than voluntary exchange among free individuals.<br /><br /><br />Furthermore, I think Sherman_Brodernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5126823704276232783.post-45482348836062640212013-11-12T11:08:44.681-06:002013-11-12T11:08:44.681-06:00No, there is no hope for the moron who wrote this ...No, there is no hope for the moron who wrote this piece of crap.
