Crisis & the Law with Richard Epstein

[@selfmadenow]

Yes, Mr. Danta, excellent point indeed.

The bankruptcy analysis is fascinating.

When we speak of genius, intellects like Epstein’s are what we mean. It appears that his mind operates as a computer: a question is asked, and, without pausing, he responds with startling speed and brilliance!

Mr. Robinson assumes--mistakenly in my opinion-- that Milton Friedman would have advocated increases in the monetary base during the "credit crunch." A better approximation of Mr. Friedman's view would probably be that of Anna Schwartz's, his coauthor in a Monetary History of the United States:"The Fed has gone about as if the problem is a shortage of liquidity. That is not the basic problem."

1st off, the income tax IS unconstitutional because it is a direct tax and NOT apportioned like the constitution demands. 2nd, the supreme courts have ruled, the Stanton case (1916) being one of them, that the 16th amendment did not give the government ANY new taxation power. 3rd, the definition for "income", just to mention ONE case, was given in the Doyle vs Mitchell 247 U.S. 179 (1918), which turned on the idea of "GAIN OR INCREASE ARISING FROM CORPORATE ACTIVITY". End of argument.

It would be " ex post facto " I believe

"Thee" is to be used only as a precedent to a word starting with a vowel.

They look like floating heads and neckties with their suits and background having the same shade

Obama (and 'Obama-ism') will (sooner rather than later) go the way of 'Hansom Cabs'. We need only worry to find enough 'Crossing Sweepers' to clean up this mess. Idea: Conscript Registered Democrats to do it. It's the only way I can think of for them to make themselves useful to the rest of us. And anyway -- they'll feel 'right-at-home'.

Epstein is one smart cookie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@logant44]

I don't understand a word this guy is saying

[@pretorious700]

Not really that difficult. I called it in 2008.
