What are your thoughts about this view on The Free Lunch Myth?

Asked by bkcunningham (18496points) January 20th, 2011

There are so many differing views and attempts at civil discussions here and in the real world about cutting taxes, raising taxes on the rich, the government providing for the poor, charities and other providing for the poor, greedy businesses. The video is a just a snippet of the views of the late-great mind of Nobel Laureate Economist Milton Friedman as he dicusses the idea that government can provide goods and services at no one’s expense.

I am just curious what you think of these ideas. What are your thoughts about what Milton Friedman says about taxation?
