You have to hear this... Funniest thing I've heard... maybe ever!
Oh, Good God, you have to hear this... Funniest thing I've heard in quite a long time!
So I just got an e-mail from an old friend of mine who is, like me, getting his MBA, but at a different college.
He said that today, in his Macroeconomics class, they were discussing taxation and its effects on aggregate consumer income. His professor asked the class, "Who would vote to raise taxes if the economy would prosper? Raise your hands!" Several students did.
"Who would vote to lower taxes if it meant the economy would prosper?" Again, a show of (presumably different) hands.
My friend is not a Democrat, in fact, he describes himself as a Libertarian Socialist. But he said that even he, along with the rest of the class erupted in laughter when the professor asked,
"Who would vote to lower taxes if it would wreck the economy?"
And then a voice from the back of the room shouted, "The Republicans!"

The bouncy was lame but, what caught my eye was, he describes himself as a Libertarian Socialist.
What the hell is that? That is like saying pro life abortionist. :mental:

8. He's one of those who is firecely Libertarian on social issues...
But is a complete socialist on economic issues.
It's an odd hybrid, to be sure, but I've known him forever, and he has always been consistent with respect to his beliefs.
He absolutely despised Bush, and thinks that Obama isn't going nearly far enough with respect to divesting the wealthy of their ill-gotten gains.
It takes all kinds, but he is definitely one of a kind.
I see, in other words he's the typical DUmmy.

Reverse the question and to the prof the answer to the question of "Who would vote to raise taxes if it would wreck the economy?" would be Democrats. The Leftist Agitator primitive isn't bright enough to figure out the prof views him as an economic fool, too.

how can you be a socialists and an MBA? You cannot propose to manage business with a goal to make money, with the redistribution philosophy of a socialists.
