1. it figures that libertarians need ideas described to them in cartoons.
Austrian economics is a clownish, cartoonish idea, so putting it in comics seems appropriate.

4. General Motors was against planning.
Maybe that explains the state of their company?

Seriously, Alfred P. Sloan did more to plan our modern society than any other individual.

He just did it quietly and in secret with no one voting on anything.

Fucking fascist!

5. That reads somewhat anti-Communist to me.
The 'I'm not a carpenter, I'm a plumber' line and the guy breaking golf clubs is straight out of some Ayn Rand crapola.
