Friedman was a fool. His ideas have been proven false by reality, such as his trickle-down economics because wealth NEVER trickles down, it aggregates as proven by EVERY civilization that ever existed. Our extensive middle class was created by the income tax with its high upper marginal rates the ended the theft of worker income by the rich.
Then there's his stupid idea about "market forces" is an absolute farce as markets have NEVER solved a problem, competent people and political will have as seen in the state of the environment that the market polluted and regulation cleaned up.
So, Friedman and his ilk need to be ignored and their proponents told to shut the fuck up.
