There is no reason to use this here, other than that it is is awsm. But Friedman might have been Scottish, you don't know!
Milton Friedman is one of the giants of modern Economic thought and one of his big contributions (it seems to me) has been his explanation of why corporations should not be bound by any moral code.
He is the guy, or at least one of the guys, who promoted the idea that the only measure of success is profit. In fact he went so far as to say that the only social responsibility that a company has is to use its resources to create maximum wealth for its shareholders.
But don’t get mad yet, most of his arguments for this point of view actually seem pretty good.
However, there is one massive problem with what he is saying: he relies on the assumption that shareholders even have the right to maximum profits, in the first place.
Hello friends.
A little while ago I was reading this article that poses the important question “what has happened to the Tea Party movement”?
They began by protesting about Wall Street bailouts but after this noble quest was abandoned they started blindly opposing everything that Obama has been doing, simply because it is he who is doing it.
And they have missed valuable opportunities to march on Wall Street. Why is this?
Well, you see friends, the Tea Party movement may have started as a “grass-roots” organisation but it was immediately seized upon and corrupted by conservative interests. Most notably the Republican Party and its propaganda piece: Fox News.
In this article I will be showing you some of the less-offensive posters from a Tea Party Protest and explaining why they are massive fails. I will then move on to explaining why the Tea Party movement proves that Fox News does not contain any journalists, and why the Tea Party protesters would be better decked out in gimp suits, with access flaps at the back.
