Let It Be Free Markets

When I find myself in times of trouble
Milton Friedman comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, markets free.
And when my posts are faulty
He is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, markets free.
Markets free, markets free.
Whisper words of wisdom, markets free.

And when the libertarian people
Living in the world agree,
We will imagine a new world, markets free.
For though there may be regulation
There's still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, markets free.
Markets free, markets free. Yeah
There will be an answer, markets free.

And when my logic fails me,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, markets free.
I wake up to the sound of critics,
Milton Friedman comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, markets free.
Markets free, markets free.
There will be an answer, markets free.
Markets free, markets free,
Whisper words of wisdom, markets free.

ROFL. thank you !
I just discovered your blog this weekend, I forget where I linked from. You described Libertarians essentially as people who want no responsibility, now that they got theirs.First time I'd thought about it, but yeah you're exactly right. Kind of similar to the (possibly hypothetical)older people who are said to consistently vote down school bonds now that their kids are outta school.

I'm going to do more Beatles songs, I think. I added Across the Atlantic to Serials on the left column, named after Across The Universe.
