The Most Inspiring Movie Scenes for Liberty.

I will just say that Michael Milken was highly creative, productive, and a hero. In other words, I completely disagree with the message that has captured your heart.

Takeover artists perform an extremely valuable service on the market. Buying a company and splitting it into little pieces can increase the overall efficiency and productivity of the pieces dramatically. Just as merging smaller companies into one larger one can sometimes increase their overall efficiency and productivity.

In this film during an exchange with his attorney, "Edward Lewis" says "We don't make anything" and the attorney says "We make money". Isn't that what drives most of the "takeover artists"? Sure, there are exceptions, and I know nothing of the one you mentioned, but I kind of doubt that very many of them aren't only in it for the money.

Awesome scene. I saw this movie once when I was a child on the big screen. I had no clue what was going on but I liked the horse and guns. Jimmy Stewart can kick ass in the thespian department on most of the celebrities playing themselves on screen these hoary days. I think my dad liked it because he was like Mr Anderson. Neo in The Matrix was a Mr. Anderson as well.

See, to me, being it in for the money is one of the most pro-life, pro-liberty, wonderful characteristics a man can have. So, I'm pretty sure we'll just have to differ on that! No worries.

Then why not become a bank robber (or marry one)?

I thought Iron Man II was REALLY libertarian themed. 'I have privatized world peace' struck a chord and his refusal to give up his invention to the feds was good. Also, the fact that the government commisioned a copy but failed miserably while the private sector succeeded was pretty awesome. It's one of the very, very few super hero blockbusters I actually dig.

I think this is what he meant to post:

I don't have a clip to post but earlier today I was thinking about a scene from "Pretty Woman". In case you haven't seen it, the main characters are Vivian, a young prostitute (Julia Roberts), and Edward, a 40-something investment banker (Richard Gere), who get together by chance and eventually become real lovers.

It's a very entertaining film and in one early scene, Vivian, who has been trying to find out exactly what Edward does for a living, learns the truth, which is that Edward doesn't "make anything" and he doesn't "build anything" and she seems a bit flabbergasted by this information. By the end of the film, Edward has decided that what he does - buy up businesses and sell them off piecemeal, like "stealing cars and selling the parts" as Vivian puts it - is indeed non-productive and a source of life-oppressing consternation for him, and, much to the dismay of his attorney, Edward partners with the owner of a large company he's been trying to buy, so they can "build ships together - great big ships."

The thing is, I've had a sort of fixation about that movie, wondering what it was about the story that made me want to watch it again and again. And this is it: The message is that financial speculation isn't what drives an economy, and the people engaged in it aren't happy and really are only half alive. This theme is woven throughout the script. No wonder it became a classic.

I like to bring up that this is exactly what Romney did in his so-called "Business experience".
