Capitalism works better when left alone

from Bastiat Institute

Time to destroy another piece of left-wing meme propaganda:

You call Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and all kids of subsidies "left alone?" Really? You call government maximum liability insurance on nuclear power plants "left alone?" You call massive bailouts of AIG and the rest "left alone?" You call public utilities and the City of Niagara Falls dumping chemicals in that land, not to mention the PUBLIC school district buying it despite explicit mention by Hooker in the contract that it was contaminated "left alone?"

The Ford Pinto was later demonstrated to be no less safe than comparable cars (site provided if you wish).

Finally, if you'd rather poor Asians pick up trash, work 16 hour days in the rice fields, or sell themselves or their kids into prostitution, please go right ahead and say so.

But hey, let's not let the facts get in the way of things.
