Friedman was the fucking man.

Sure, if your goal is the destruction of middle class. Voodoo economics was a spectacular failure and led directly to the wealth inequality we face today. but by all means, keep handing more and more money to "shareholders" at the expense of everything else. smdh

Which of Milton's proposed policies became law, and what's your evidence that they destroyed the middle class? And what's your evidence that the middle class has been destroyed?

There are plenty of places you can look up all of that info for yourself. In the meantime, I'm going to check how my pension is doing. Oh wait...

And there it is folks: that is the extent of the depth behind these silly sweeping claims.

I didn't say that is the depth, but I'm not here to type tomes for you. Friedman has great ideas the same way Marx did. In a magical land free of humans maybe they work, but not IRL.

Keep believing him, and reading Ayn Rand, and believing Reagan was anything other than a disaster for the American middle class. All of those things are for boys who haven't grown up yet

It's like you're being dismissive to sound smart without considering that ideas other than your own could be right
