Free Trade vs. Fair Trade
"Too many people have made too much money."
-- First Lady Hillary Clinton condemns the insurance industry, feeling it’s not fair that certain businesses are making ‘too much money’
"'Fair' is in the eye of the beholder; free is the verdict of the market. (The word 'free' is used three times in the Declaration of Independence and once in the First Amendment to the Constitution, along with 'freedom.' The word 'fair' is not used in either of our founding documents.)"
-- Milton Friedman, WSJ, Mar. 7, 1996

What's wrong if certain businesses make are making too much money? It's no reason to condemn them. They're using the right tactics to get their money. It doesn't bother me too much. Just live and let live Hillary...jeez ya jerk

Isn't that what America is all about. People working and bettering their lives by making a profit. I mean if we all made the same for doing different work that would be communist. Now Im seeing Hilary for what she is, a communist leader. If she's elect president I just may move to Canada.

I'm no fan of hers, and this is just dumb. I agree with Kim, good for the rich guys for figuring out how to make billions. That's what America's all about. Standing on the shoulders of the poor so you can afford 1080i Hi-Def. Go Obama.

I still stand to say that Hillary and the rest of the Clintons are a bunch of delusional idiots. And if she is elected I'm leading the Texas Secession!!!
Hillary Clinton is stupid for wanting to stop people from making money. If people are willing to pay for their services then it is not their fault they are making money.
William Brooks-2nd
My view on Hillary is clear. So, I'll stop wasting my time on blogspot and I'll go abuse the poor so I can afford something shiney.

America only really works so well because we have such class differences. If everyone were wealthy, no one would like to work to make anything, and soon the economy would fall out because of a failing GDP. With the differences in incomes, we have people willing to make the products and people willing and able to buy the products, so the economy works. Unfortunately, somebody has to lose for people to win. So Hillary is wrong again.
And 1080i is SOOOO last gen. 1080p is where it's all at now, Thomas. I mean, seriously, what's the point in having 1920x1080 resolution if you're just going to mess it up with a slower fill rate? So rather, let us rise up and stand on the shoulders of the poor to afford 1080p high-def, and take our true place as Americans!

usually there is like a link some where that gives you more info on the subject but i couldnt find it so il just comment on the paragraph i had and from what i read it seems like hilary is pulling a robinhood and stealing from the rich to give to the poor but the only problem is these rich people arent evil kings that stole the money in the first place... they are just smart

Hilary just needs to get out of office; enough said.

people came to america for a better life in da first place, hillary just needs to accept that people can make a lot of money. if she really wants to do something about it she can take her and her husbands money and give it away.

In America every man has the opportunity to choose his own destiny...those that end up more fortunate shouldn't have to pay for the people they have economically surpassed.

What would people work towards if the more money you made the more you had to give away? It would be pointless to work hard and try to make your life better.
Amy W (5th)
Amy's right, what could possibly motivate people to work hard if they had to give more away. I like Obama. Sarah Hobson 1st
what??? Honestly can she say that? In America there is no such thing as too much money.
Taylor Kimbrough 2nd
you deserve what you earn.
im good with helping people out.
but not just robin hooding for the sake of it.
justin r (1)
You just get to keep everything you earn. I dont agree with Hillary at all

Hillary Clinton is wrong.
Caitlan Gilliland 5th
Hillary Clinton is a socialist, communist, and doesn't believe that anyone should have money in return for their hard work. If you strike it rich you should get what you make from it.
Sam D. 5th
The idea of "too many people making too much money" strikes me as completely ridiculous. As hard working people receive their benefits(billions of dollars) it is only "fair", as Hilary says, to allow them to enjoy and keep every cent. My plans in the future are to work hard and become rich, becoming rich being the motivation. Pretty much enjoying the fruits of your own labor is what life in America is all about. Those really in need are taken care of by taxes, at times we do all need assistance in some form or fashion, but it is never impossible for anyone to achieve a desired style of living.

Hillary is retarted and wrong!
