Entry: The Ron Paul Revolution Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_ron_paul_revolution#8687 Post contents: Sid sez: “Lawrence Goodwyn the Lefty is Joe’s favorite writer? Now he’s a Cultural Marxist. Farmers were doing badly in the 1890s because we had too many of them for a rapidly industrializing society. Call them hayseed Luddites.” Oh, more horse manure. You wouldn’t know a Marxist, cultural or whatever, from a hole in the ground. I’d suggest you take a modern economics course and learn about the problems of commodity markets, the simple concepts of elastic and inelastic supply and demand before you wank off about the problems of the farmers in the “Gilded Age” of plutocrats that you so admire. Of course, we had Neuter Gingrich and the Republican Congress with their “Freedom To Farm” Act, which removed government regulation of the commodity trade, and guess what…2 years later --- when the inevitable swings of farm commodity put the price of corn and soybeans and milk and meat below the price of production, YOU and YOURS were back with a program of direct subsidy to the farmers to prevent absolute disaster. What a freaking fake the “free marketers” are…Neuter Gingrich is YOUR kind of Republican---a “libertarian” of the practical persuasion. When “Austrian Economics” screws up like it did with the “Freedom to Farm” Act, the result is WORSE and more COSTLY then the federal regulation it replaced. Sent at: 2008 09 07
