Politicians tax the productive who refuse to vote for them to bribe the dependent who will. This shrinks the pool of creators while exploding the pool of takers until the entire system collapses under its own weight. The real class struggle is between makers and takers.

"El único que puede generar riqueza en este país y en el mundo, es el empresario, no el político. El político no sabe cómo crear riqueza ni tiene los incentivos adecuados para hacerlo. Y cuando lo intenta, lo único que genera es corrupción". - Javier Milei -

Very much so.

If we let the government wall-off and gate-keep the internet, age may be the first ‘check,’ but it won’t be the last.

Canadian history is one long cautionary tale against politicians trying to replace parents.

A government ban means parents can't just allow it. Forcing people to hand over private ID to digital companies strips choice away from families and businesses alike. When the state dictates the rules, parents lose. Some don't realize name-calling won't change that reality.

@Elect_Elliott @CTVNews The government is not deciding what is the right or wrong way to raise there kid. If the parent allows it the kid can still access social media. You painted yourself into a corner retard. Cya!

Carney's arrogance will be his undoing. He believes he will be the first to succeed at centrally planning an economy after hundreds have failed before him.

The only thing working is your printing press. Real plans don't involve sneaking around voters, devaluing our dollar, and leaving Canadians dependent on handouts just to eat. True affordability means getting out of the way, cutting taxes, and letting people keep their own money.

The road to hell was paved with good intentions. Canada's new Safe Social Media Act (Bill C-34) might claim to protect people, but it’s just another step toward government overreach and online censorship. Good night to an internet that used to be free. #cdnpoli #socialmedia #libertarian

Ottawa should not be parenting Canadian kids. The proposed social media ban strips parents of their right to decide what is best for their family. It is not the government's job to police screens. We need parental responsibility, not more regulations and control. #cdnpoli #libertarian #socialmedia

The only other time I saw this close to this level was 2015 when gold bottomed at $1,050 per ounce down from $1,700 in 2011. Gold stocks are up 600% from that time frame. If you think you missed the gold and silver stock move last year you are getting a do over.

“If justice truly existed, prisons would be filled with politicians, not the poor.” - Niccolo Machiavelli

Hayek on why inflation is so dangerous: “Moderate inflation is generally pleasant while it proceeds, whereas deflation is immediately and acutely painful.” “There is little need to take precautions against any practice the bad effects of which will be immediately and strongly felt.” “But there is need for precautions wherever action which is immediately pleasant or relieves temporary difficulties involves much greater harm that will be felt only later.” “There is, indeed, more than a mere superficial similarity between inflation and drug-taking, a comparison which has often been made.”

In fact, poverty rates in the US had been steadily declining for decades until the mid 60s at which point the government massively increased its efforts to fight poverty only to cause it to increase.

Governments have been promising that one more tax on one more group will solve poverty for thousands of years. The taxes keep coming. Poverty doesn't seem nearly as cooperative.

The period from 1870 to 1913 witnessed the most spectacular economic growth in human history, and you can thank the gold standard for making it possible. Real wages doubled in America. Railroad mileage exploded from 53,000 to 254,000 miles. Steel production increased twenty-fold. Population centers transformed into industrial powerhouses virtually overnight. Sound money created the foundation for genuine capital accumulation. Under gold, entrepreneurs could calculate decades into the future without worrying about central bankers debasing their savings. Andrew Carnegie built his steel empire because he knew the purchasing power of his profits wouldn't evaporate through monetary manipulation. John D. Rockefeller revolutionized oil refining because stable money allowed long-term planning. These men risked enormous sums precisely because gold prevented government from stealing their wealth through inflation. The productivity gains were staggering. Between 1880 and 1900, manufacturing output per worker increased by 65 percent. Prices fell consistently (deflation was normal and healthy), which meant your purchasing power grew every year you delayed consumption. Real interest rates reflected actual time preference and productivity, not central bank targets. Capital flowed to its most productive uses because price signals weren't distorted by monetary debasement. Compare this to our fiat era: since 1971, productivity growth has stagnated, real wages have barely budged, and asset bubbles have replaced genuine wealth creation. The Federal Reserve calls 2% annual theft "price stability" while wondering why inequality keeps rising. They've replaced the automatic discipline of gold with the arbitrary whims of PhD economists who think they can fine-tune a $26 trillion economy. You want to understand why your generation can't afford houses while previous generations built transcontinental railroads? We abandoned the monetary system that funded the greatest economic boom in recorded history.

The problem is that he would refuse to read it. Otherwise he'd have change his mind, which he's too arrogant to do.

No, Maliq. This is silly People are aware that a number of radical Muslims are threatening to take Britain over, and kill infidels Many Muslims do not have this intention, but they seem loathe to speak, up for some reason It's hard for someone like me to figure out how strong the moderates are, and whether the radicals can be controlled In the meantime it's safer for me to take the threats seriously And the threats are not coming from the Buddhists

Want to put money back in Canadians' pockets? Stop taking it in the first place. We don't need a government bridge, we need financial freedom. Drop the taxes, cut the red tape, and let working people keep their own hard-earned money. Real resilience doesn't come from handouts.

“A boost today, and a bridge to a better tomorrow.” Our new Liberal government is moving Canada’s economy from reliance to resilience while putting more money back into Canadians’ pockets.
