Despite President Obama's best efforts to kill capitalism, it's alive and well---at least today with the widely hyped Facebook IPO.
Facebook is a rather lyrical story of economic liberty: a college kid at Harvard with extra time on his hands creates a basic social networking program so other college kids can talk to each other and share stuff online. As the program grows exponentially, the college kid refines it, graduates, and turns it into a real business. Soon, there are hundreds of thousands of users of his program; then there are millions; now there is close to one billion worldwide.
If you build it, they will come. The college kid built it, and boy, did they come. And today, the investors come. So does the real money. Billions of dollars' worth.
All investments carry inherent risk, and nobody really knows how the Facebook IPO is going to shake out, or what the future holds for the product and the company. But it's all part of the creative destruction and production of capitalism: ideas come, risks get taken, things get created, investments transpire, failures occur, so does wild success. It's all part of the wonderfully messy choreography of the free market.
The IPO is expected to raise Facebook about $16 billion in proceeds and value it at more than $100 billion. If it goes as anticipated, over 1000 people will become millionaires today, and a few new billionaires, including that college kid, Mark Zuckerberg, will be created too.
Regardless of what you think of Facebook or if you're buying some of its shares today or not or whether you even know what Facebook is, you should celebrate what it represents: American ingenuity, creativity, and innovation.
And oh yeah: capitalism. Viva economic liberty!
.
Still better than Twitter, though I think. IMHO FB is an AOL with less features, but it's free.
Funny how FB now makes AOL seem so ahead of its time when back in the day it was looked on as something of a kindergarten for lamers and net newbies.

Dunbazz doesn't know how the MSM is manipulating him. The dimwit can't figure out that the PC commissars are trying their hardest to flip the scrip. You see in the face of widespread and ongoing unprovoked violent attacks on whites by blacks, of course the Lame Stream Media is going to try to divert attention away from what's really happening. They are trying to create the appearance there is equivalence between black on white hate and white on black hate. In reality the balance is completely tipped to the black hate/violence against whites side. But Mammy's little Rafie is too brainwashed to see it. Typical white lib.

What the obama Administration Has Taught America
Facebook Inc.'s $16 billion initial public offering has made Mark Zuckerberg the 29th richest carbon based life form on Earth. Facebook provides entertainment and a fun way to spend your leisure time. America should love Zuckerberg. Whatever happens, do not ever criticize him for not paying his fair share of taxes...he's cool in the administration's eyes and they're down with whatever he does. Heck, he might even turn out to be as cool as George Clooney.
According to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the top three U.S. oil companies alone paid $42.8 billion in income taxes in 2010. Ignore that fact and describe them as evil billionaires who don’t pay their fair share. After all, the petroleum, coal and natural gas industries all provide cheap energy to America, which stands in the way of implementing the administration’s agenda to fuel America with recycled unicorn poop.
It’s OK for the New Black Panthers to stand in front of polling places, wearing uniforms, wielding clubs and intimidating white voters with taunts of "now you'll find out what it's like to be ruled by a black man”. It’s also OK for Eric Holder, who publicly said: "I am not the tall U.S. Attorney. I am the black U.S. Attorney" to drop all charges against them.
It’s not OK for a “white hispanic” to defend himself from attack by someone who’s black
Tea Party demonstrators, who obeyed the laws, obtained permits, and cleaned up after themselves when they peaceable assembled to petition their government for redress of grievances are violent, racist extremists who should be monitored by the Department of Homeland Security as potential homegrown terrorists.
Occupy Wall Street, who squatted on public and private land for weeks at a time without permit, cost cities across the nation millions in clean-up and other costs, engaged in rape, drug use, public sexual acts, attacked police, destroyed property and generally disrupted the normal flow of life are great patriots. They deserve the public support of barrack obama, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, the DCCC, Elizabeth Warren, Barney Franks, Debbie Wasserman Shultz, Charlie Rangle, Dennis Kucinich, et al. As Nancy Pelosi said: “God bless them, for their spontaneity. It’s independent … it’s young, it’s spontaneous, and it’s focused. And it’s going to be effective.”
When kids are failing in school after being subjected to exposure to incompetent teachers who couldn’t teach a dog to bark yet can’t be fired because they’re protected by unions, lower testing standards. The possibility of hurting a student’s feelings by giving them a failing grade couldn’t possibly pass politically correct, everyone has to feel good about themselves at all times muster.
If you’re a kid who wants to hold a bake sale, open a lemonade stand or engage in similar activities which demonstrate initiative, ambition or a desire to utilize the free market in order to better yourself, you must be trained to first beg permission from the government. And boys and girls of all ages, don’t ever forget broccoli is good for you and snack cakes, candy bars and chips are bad. Since you’re too stupid to make the proper decision, government is going to enact legislation that deprives you of the right to choose.
Whenever “progressive” politicians are caught in an outright lie about where they were born, their bloodlines or military service rendered it’s due to a clerical error. If criticism persists, blame someone else for each and every one of your failures. When all else fails, play the race card.

The delusion "progressives" try to impose on others is the misconception that income belongs to the government first and out of the goodness of their hearts they let you keep some of it. It's NOT the government's money.

People are paying less in taxes now than in decades.
"The final budget figures for fiscal year 2003 were released on October 20 by the Treasury Department. They indicate that income tax receipts (including receipts from both the individual and corporate income tax) equaled just 8.6 percent of the Gross Domestic Product. This is the lowest level of income tax collections, as a share of the economy, since 1942. The decline in income taxes as a share of the economy to a level last seen six decades ago helps explain several other key findings about the final budget tally"
"Not only are income taxes at historically low levels relative to the size of the economy, they are also at historically low levels as a share of all federal revenues. In 2003, the share of federal revenues consisting of income taxes fell to its lowest level since 1941. Conversely, the share of federal revenues consisting of payroll taxes reached the highest level in the history of the tax system."

Clinton's economy was growing because of the dotcom bubble. Plus the Republicans (post 1994) cut government spending. Bush's economy was not because of the 9/11 attacks. Taxes don't balance the budget, economic growth and restrained government spending balances the budget.

FROM the CENTER of Budget and Policy priorities
"Conclusion
The exceptionally low level to which income tax receipts have already fallen, in conjunction with the looming deficits that lie ahead, should cause policymakers to pause before enacting new income tax cuts or extending current ones without offsetting their costs.. The drop in revenues already explains much of the dramatic deterioration in the nations fiscal position, and the increase in the deficit. Revenues have now fallen to such low levels as to threaten the adequacy of the nations revenue base, especially with the retirement of the baby-boom generation rapidly approaching. Consideration may, in fact, need to be given to revenue-raising measures once the nation has clearly pulled out of the current economic slump."
