Thatcher and Greece

TRS sent me this video, as a comment on the on-going crisis with Greece, but he didn’t want to post it on his blog, since 1) he believes videos are past nisht, 2) he believes women speaking in front of men is past nisht (and a combination of the above is kal va’chomer past nisht).

Since I don’t believe in either (in fact, in less than an hour, I am planning to be listening to one Ms. Hurwitz speak in front of men and women), I’ll post it myself:



It’s very nice how she openly says the commonly observed truth: the Left have no concept of how money and economics works. Of course, some people love to step on the rakes again and again and hope that the next time, the stick won’t bump them into nose.

I have previously posted a link to another female leader being equally reluctant to be sucked in into the pan-European quagmire.

One more video with Thatcher:



My comment: it’s amazing how many [people] believe in the whole gap fallacy. I mean, what’s the bloody point of the gap being small? We do want most money in the hands of the people who invest it successfully, creating new and better-paid jobs and new and better products and services. Can you make a new version of an iPod? If not, you should give your money to someone who can. If you think you can, go to a bank and get a loan, and if the public likes your iPod, it will buy it, making you richer than average.

Money is not just ability to buy yachts. Money is the public’s vote that whoever has money is providing the people with good stuff and should continue doing so. It is no different from any other kind of vote.
