Congress Ron Paul responds to Michael Moore's criticism of Capitalism. (Hat tip: Marcaeld)
some noteworthy quotes...
-"it's a fallacy to say that you have a right to someone else's services...
-"you've a responsibility to take care of yourself, but you don't have a right to get something from government because government has nothing and so government has to take it from somebody and give it you, so its a failed policy, it is a form of socialism...
-"But he is complaining about it being part of capitalism, but this has nothing to do with capitalism, this is corporatism. The corporations run things, the drug corporations lobbyist, insurer's lobbyist...We have a system where money and bigness influences the government, but that's corporatism not capitalism.
-example of free market-medical tourism
-"pumping money into the system doesn't improve quality it increases prices"
-you either have government intervention to mess up the markets or you don't. You either believe in freedom and believe voluntary choices...
-"when something is free and you don't have it, it is irrelevant"
