Murphy is nothing but a traitor.

Here's some of the "wisdom" from his scribblings:


http://www.amazon.com/Politically-Incorrect-Guide-Capitalism/dp/1596985046

* Outsourcing (why it's good for Americans) [unmitigated BULLSH*T]

* How labor unions actually hurt workers more than they help them [yeah, unions have brought workers evil things like weekends, less than 14 hours days, vacations, sick leave, etc.]

* Why increasing the minimum wage is always a bad idea [yes, corporations should be able to double their profits by reducing hourly wages to $4.00/hour...or less!]

* Why the free market is the best guard against racism [yup, the integrity of biological and cultural heritage is an impediment to profit]

* How capitalism will save the environment [ROTFLMAO!]

* Why no genuine advocate for the downtrodden could endorse the dehumanizing Welfare State [but Crapitalists have no problem with the Warfare State]

* Antitrust suits: usually filed by firms that lose in free competition [Monopoly - the inevitable of a Crapitalist system]

* How tariffs and other restrictions "protect" privileged workers but make other Americans poorer [more unmitigated bullsh*t]
