Since Nixon said "We're all Keynesians now," you might wanna see a quote from John Maynard Keynes...

[Bozita]

Capitalism is the extraordinary belief that the nastiest of men for the nastiest of motives will somehow work for the benefit of all. - John Maynard Keynes

[Gregorian]

1. Those same people would screw up any economic system.

I don't know, it just sort of donned on me.

2. I'd be willing to bet that conservatives

Think that its "We're all kenyans now"


Just sayin

[Schema Thing]

3. I heard Ron Paul quote this line (negatively) in his speech to the TX Republican Convention

this past Friday.



"Well I'm not a 'Keynes'" he shouted to roaring applause. He had to say it about 4 times before I understood what he was saying.



He has a real knack for getting ignorant people to believe that they have become instant experts on the topic of economics.

5. Bwa-ha-ha! Paul wins the 'Malapropism of the Week Award' - I'm still

chuckling about that.

Ron Paul is not a Keynes, he's a Smith (and not the band fronted by Morrisey, either

[Schema Thing]

6. No, he was declaring loudly that he is "NOT a Keynes".

But he's not really a Smith either, is he? Smith had rather progressive ideas on taxation, at least as compared to Ron Paul or any of the current crop of Republicans and Libertarians. (I'm assuming you mean Adam Smith).
