Bizarre pro-capitalism video by CNBC's Joe Kernan and his kid
I'm not sure what to make of this indoctrination video. Joe Kernan of CNBC calls "opponents of capitalism" "11 year old little girls." But what's the point of the video?

1. that's really interesting
i think there really is a message.

Obviously that girl doesn't know anything about economics, why would she, she's 11 years old. And they say something about that, economics is boring, etc.

But despite her ignorance, she knows that she loves Milton Friedman, and she equates him with capitalism and with America.

3. Well, she's right about Friedman...

Capitalism has seldom had a more loyal or effective apparatchik and no place on this planet is more capitalist, except mebbe Singapore.

2. One thing is sure...Joe Kernan is a fucking idiot...
When he starts blathering right wing talking points (lies) I change the channel.

4. Someone had to show that capitalism isn't going to let communism...
...win the race for poorly conceived, ham-fisted, subtle-as-a-brick-to-the-head propaganda.
