A Rebuttal to Rob

I don’t think I’ve ever been called a socialist before. I’m enraged, and I wouldn’t take your Kramer poster if came with 72 virgins and a “manshake.”

First, I’m a capitalist through-and-through. If capitalism were a lady she’d be mine. If capitalism was being attacked by thirteen armed Eastern European terrorists trying to steal $640,000,000 in negotiable bearer bonds I’d kill them all and do it without shoes.

Second, there’s a difference between political and economic systems. Even if being concerned about the efficacy of voting indicated I might be a fan of tyranny that has nothing to do with economics.

Third, sack up and finish your milkshakes. If you don’t throw up at McDonald’s you’re not having fun yet.

On a related note, this book is my bible and this man is my god.

"Johan Norberg's book is a stunningly insightful, brilliantly detailed refutation of the crank theories of the anti-globalists. In Defense of Global Capitalism is a shining example of what a gifted mind can do working with the truth to advance the cause of capitalism, which in the end is the cause of every decent man and woman."
--Ben Stein
