Milton Friedman 1.2 Responsibility to the Poor.

Milton Friedmen. I was introduced to him by the same individual that introduced me to Thomas Sowell. What I enjoy most about this video is how he is able to keep his composure during the flare up of passions.

Maybe it is something that comes with age but I would love to master that ability now. He stands his ground without getting upset without even breaking a frown. I feel it is because he believes in what he is saying and understands that getting too passionate about a topic takes away from the message. Getting upset hands a victory to your opponent. I will be doing a lot more studying on Friedmen.

Not to mention that I feel the stance he was taking was correct, and that the government does play a large role in there being large number of poor.
