well well well... this poll suggests that kev isn't as alone as one would think.

Or that a lot of students are dumb as fuck and think that kneecapping our country is a good idea.

 

[Rothbard]

1. Please note that Capitalism is a political philosophy, not an economic state of affairs. Capitalism is the political philosophy of private property no less nor more. Capitalism of itself makes no reference to how someone should live. It does not tell them to go into business, to get a job or anything of the sort. It is a system of private property nothing else.

2. How do you decide when someone is earning 'too much money'? I dont mean a lot of money I mean too much. Why should someone who earns alot be forced to surrender his income? Do you know how people make money, by providing a good or service. Don't complain about sol trihijo's salary by bitching on your computer connected to internet through bigpond, dont bitch on your telstra phone about how much money he makes. People make as much money as consumers let them make. How dare you tell people how their lives should be run.

The theory of incentives, or economic incentive. Read up about it.

I did and underlined the word "theory".

 

[Rothbard]

~theory of evolution~

 

[Ziva]

I did and underlined the word "theory".

If you don't think that the theory has been proven by sufficient regression analysis you are seriously mistaken. You don't have a so widely accepted "theory" without it holding any real world merit. Not to mention the logically connection. Neck yourself.

edit: Economic incentive basically dominates all advanced microeconomic analysis, economic students do in their final year. It is as set in concrete CORRECT as the basic price mechanism theory of S = D = P

Lentern doesn't understand economics, he already posted this

 

[runoutofsleep]

I said I hadn't studied it formally, and nor have you; engineering. I have a general rule that prohibits me paying money to learn anything that isn't true.
