Entry: Faith-Based Economy Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/faith_based_economy#20682 Post contents: Red Stockings: "Ayn Rand’s glorious saving grace is that she drew a very clear line between building and looting: I guess your observation was LOST on Alan Greenspan, her house economist, and member of the inner circle of the cult group that formed around her. Rather we can look at Ayn Rand's ideas as mere rhetoric rationalization for oligarchy and plutocracy. She figured out how to make some money off it as well. Look, I know a ton of leftists who to this day refuse to believe that Mao's China or Staliin's Russia were not the logical outcome of communism. You libertarians are ideological zeolots, just like the lefities, who have replaced religion with political dogma. Libertarians need to take responsibility for their ideas: Newter Gingrich and the Republican Congress "deregulated" the financial markets, and the result of this "freedom" was another bailout for a bunch of dishonest insiders, just as the last FAILURE of "free market" ideology was the Savings and Loan bailout in the 180's. The difference is that the plutocrats and looters have the ability to do a lot more damage to the entirer finacial system with the deregulation enacted by the Newter Gingrich Congress.
