(((Milton Friedman))) is an example of a controlled-opposition figure. He had some great points. However, he also had some horrid points that outweighed the good. Aide from shilling for the UBI, he was the man who created automatic income tax withholding (which he admitted was a mistake, FWIW), and he was such a shameless NAFTA/free-trade shill that he explained that the USA should get rid of all of its tariffs even if all the other countries in the world keep their tariffs on US goods. Friedman's central philosophy was also screwy: exporting dollars to foreign countries = USA win, because we got their goods and all they got was worthless green paper that we can make more of. Pretty sure we have decades upon decades of proof that when American dollars leave America, America loses. So Friedman's philosophy = Jewish tricks.
