Cartoon capitalism: A fat man, smoking a cigar, hoarding wealth while workers sweat. Real world capitalism: An entrepreneur, working crazy hours, risking her own money, to provide goods or services others want, while investing profits back into her business.

Plus vous travaillez, plus vous gagnez. Plus vous gagnez, plus l'État prélève. En réalité, nous avons créé un système dans lequel vous êtes puni pour votre réussite. 💯

Los marxistas dicen que quieren ser dueños de los medios de producción, pero son demasiado perezosos para abrir su primer negocio, Por eso prefieren vivir de los impuestos de negocios que han creado los demás.

If the people of the UK would ask, “Are we getting good value for money from our politicians and public sector?” that would be a start.

The UK is a case study in what happens to free speech when the right to bear arms is taken away.

The First Amendment means people have the right to speak truth to politicians. The Second Amendment means politicians don’t have the means to shut the people’s mouths.

The media is obsessed with slimeball celebrity predators- latest allegations are against David Walliams - while Maggie Oliver has to sue the government to get action for tens of thousands of victims of Pakistani rape gangs. I know which story I think is more important. @MaggieOliverUK

The socialist argument is that politicians are bought by billionaires, and their solution is to put politicians in charge of every business. I’m going to need the socialist theory explaining when the bribery magically stops.

Socialism isn’t about putting the group before the individual. Socialism is about forcing the will of a small group over the will of every individual.

Free speech protects your right to disagree. It also protects everyone else’s right to disagree with you.

"Hate speech" is a made up term by the left to control the narrative. Free speech exposes the narrative.

The Laffer Curve is related to a larger concept called “diminishing returns on complexity”. Fascinating!

El marxismo tiene una extraordinaria capacidad para convertir cualquier fracaso en una nueva etapa necesaria del proceso histórico. Es decir, siempre tiene una excusa para justificar su propia incompetencia como ciencia.
