I am not worried about the "purity of the economic system". > For example, when you put > forth a libertarian understanding of the Great Depression, I wanted to > discuss historical numbers, techniques, etc....the sort of thing any > experimentalist would want to discuss in evaluating the theory.

And you never addressed a single one of Higg's points. > You also have stated that the burden of proof does not fall equally on every > viewpoint, but falls solely on those that differ with you. Again with making up views and attributing them to me. Is making up things about people the only way you can justify pretending you know better how to spend other people's money? As for burden of proof, it obviously falls heavily upon the person trying to take other people's money and spend it for them because they say they know better how to spend it. > You may not have read much Rand, but your arguments parallel hers.
