Mitt Romney Promotes Free Enterprise for Answer to Poverty

Mitt Romney rightly pointed to the source of American prosperity, which is a free people pursuing free enterprise in order to attain their goals and pull them out of poverty.

Speaking at the Clinton Global Initiative in New York, Romney said, "The aim of a much larger share of our aid must be the promotion of work and the fostering of free enterprise. Nothing we can do as a nation will change lives and nations more effectively and permanently than sharing the insight that lies at the foundation of America's own economy - and that is that free people pursuing happiness in their own ways build a strong and prosperous nation."

In relationship to prosperity, there is no message more true, as government has nothing to offer in that regard with the exception of keeping out of the way of free people pursuing a variety of ways to serve their fellow man and provide jobs for those employed by business.

It's the correct message, and an inspiring one, one that, if practiced by nations around the world, would alleviate poverty for those who really want to escape it by working hard to attain that goal, while not looking to government as their source of provision, which will always keep them in poverty.

Countries like India, if the government got out of the way, would flourish beyond imagination, as would other countries, even the United States, which continues to be strangled by increasing and encroaching big government, which implements a growing number of socialists laws, as well as encourages fascist, crony capitalism, which gives free enterprise a bad name, when in fact it has little to do with real capitalism.

Robust businesses and limited government are the answer to nations concerning poverty, and in places where creative businessman are given even a little rope to run with, many people in these countries have their lifestyles raised, providing a much better life for them than they formerly had.

We need a new breed of governmental public servants, those who understand that business success if fantastic for everyone involved, and isn't there to steal money from the productive and creative in order to create unsustainable and poverty-producing programs which only drain resources and redistribute them to those who believe they are entitled to them.

Czech President Slams UN Over Global Economic Power Grab

Czech President Vaclav Klaus, one of the few world leaders who understands the outcome of government interference in free market, boldly blasted the United Nations for their call for even more one world governance of the global economy.

Klaus called for the organization to stay out of economics and national governments should be the ones to tackle the problems.

The Czech president said, the solution won't come from "creating new governmental and supranational agencies, or in aiming at global governance of the world economy."

"On the contrary, this is the time for international organizations, including the United Nations, to reduce their expenditures, make their administrations thinner, and leave the solutions to the governments of member states," said Klaus.

This doesn't mean Klaus was calling for federal government interference in markets, he was simply saying it begins at a national level, not an extra-national level.

For example, he helped his country move toward the privatization of businesses after the failure of communism and socialism in Czechoslovakia, which he's battling against almost alone as a world leader, seeing it attempt to raise its ugly head again.

He also castigates the idea that it was the failure of the markets which led to the economic crisis.

"The anti-crisis measures that have been proposed and already partly implemented follow from the assumption that the crisis was a failure of markets and that the right way out is more regulation of markets," he said.

He rightly concludes those actions will only "destroy the markets and together with them the chances for economic growth and prosperity in both developed and developing countries."

This is all a grab by third world countries to steal from productive countries instead of pursuing free markets and entrepreneurship, instead of maintaining their cultures of entitlement.

Klaus got riled up in response to Swiss president of the General Assembly, Joseph Deiss, saying the United Nations should "comprehensively fulfill its global governance role."

I hate to say it Deiss, but the United Nations have no global governance role, and Klaus is right.

George Soros Will Tarnish Oxford

George Soros has always been out for only George Soros, and his latest debacle, aided by Oxford University, is to create a new economics institute a the University to create an even more socialist economic worldview.

What's hilarious about this is Soros actually has said he wants to move the economics of Oxford away from being supporters of the free market and deregulation, to one controlled even more by the government.

Think of that! Oxford is a supporter of the free market? In what twilight zone does Soros live in?

Even more dishonest is the attempt by Soros to imply that the free markets had anything to do with the economic collapse, it was the central banks and over-regulation of the markets which brought it down, not a free market, which in all honesty hasn't existed for some time, but needs to be released and let go to do its extraordinary job.

Soros is of course a radical, socialist, liberal, who hates almost everything about the free market, and will delight to influence the upcoming academics to gravitate even more away from the dwindling parts of the free market that still survive.

Why do people like Warren Buffett and George Soros want government intervention? Their both proponents of monopolies, as they create that mote that Buffett always talks about, along with more predictability, which for an investor like Buffett, is his bread and butter.

For Soros, there are also financial benefits, but his overall thrust is his hatred of the values of mid-America, and other people like that around the world, and he wants to crush that through any means he can, and uses his vast fortune to perpetuate his agenda.

There can be no doubt Oxford is allowing this to happen because they're short of cash, as most universities are at this time. Too bad they're selling their soul to someone like Soros. It would be better to cut programs and other areas than to allow the fox into the henhouse. Now it seems Oxford has, and they're the worst for it.
