It was originally said by John Kenneth Galbraith, though his quote was "Never underestimte the power of very stupid people in large groups." Robert Heinlein said something similar. "Never underestimate the power of human stupidity."\n\nThe exact quote that you have above was said by Homer Simpson on an episode of The Simpsons, paraphrasing Galbraith.

A toy rat for the fatcats to play with, Friedman peddled his mind to the highest bidder and glorified parasites and cheats, as long as they came from the better class of people.  He chanted mumbo-jumbo dreamed up in the sheltered ignorance of academentia.  Economics is a captive science; economists are liars for hire.  Nerdy weaklings, they desperately need to be patted on the head by the Big Boys of Big Business in order to make themselves whole.\n\nThe only market force is force itself.  All their fantasy of a Free Market means is that whoever controls a market should be free to do whatever he wants.  Their theories are one-sided and set up to reach a false conclusion by ignoring the other side.  But that side can balance the power by uniting against the parasites and cheats; otherwise, it is a single man against a millionaire.  Economists, like the Church-controlled scientists of the Middle Ages, have nothing to say to us.  Their forked tongues are owned by those born with silver spoons in their mouths.

No. We had a choice between having a recovering economy with Kerry, or a worse economy and a moron for a President.

Hey Redd, Do you remember the old TV commercials saying, "this is your brain before drugs and this is your brain after, and then the guy cracks an egg and fries it. The same principle applies here but unfortunately with our country. Our country before Bush jr.; no deficit, race relations were better, international relations better, etc. and after/during Bush.....well you can "look around" and see for yourself. Our country has become the proverbial "fried egg" so to speak. ;)  Oh almost forgot, the economy. I know it was better for me and all those around me BEFORE Bush, Now Bush talks about job growth, that's great if you want a job at Taco Bell or Burger King, but in terms of real growth, it's not happening.

Einstein:  "We cannot solve our problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."\n\nPretty much sums it up, eh?  ;-)

"I'm not saying that what you're stupid. I'm just saying that what you're saying is stupid"\n\n"Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear smart until you hear them speak"
