    Sorry, when I was a child I thought comics were fun and perhaps enlightening. Now, not so much.

        Here are 7 at-home jobs that pay at least $100/day. And there’s quite the variety too! Some of these work-at-home jobs are more specialized, others are jobs that anyone can do. They all pay at least $3000/month, but some pay as much as $10,000. GO HOME PAGE FOR MORE DETAILS:->>>>>> CLICK NOW

        How do you deal with it? Whatever medications you’re taking don’t appear to help your comments here.

    3. m4019597   4 years ago

      This isn’t a comic. It’s a political commentary, which isn’t funny or well-drawn.

  2. Delroy   4 years ago

    Is this the ending for all libertarian-leaning people? To be undone by the more numerous idiots voting for "free stuff" and "rights"?

  3. sarcasmic   4 years ago

    "WHY, MY WORK HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN!"

    And that year he died from tuberculosis.

  4. Alan Vanneman   4 years ago

    Funny stuff! Too bad poor Frédéric didn't live long enough to see the 1860 Treaty of Commerce between Great Britain and France that, among other things, reduced British import duties on wine, leading to an influx of "Gladstone claret" into Great Britain.

    In fact, the British "Corn Laws" didn't have much effect on grain prices, much to the disappointment of Britain's mill owners, who hoped to be able to cut wages when bread prices fell. It wasn't until the late 19th century, when ocean going steam ships cut transportation costs enough to create a true international market for grain that British landowners began to feel the pinch.

  5. Eeyore   4 years ago

    Depressing.

  6. Hank Phillips   4 years ago

    Bagge is doing the best work out there to identify and interpret the best and most practical thinkers in history. This is exemplary stuff!

  7. konamok   4 years ago

    Start working at home with G00gle! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Wednesday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this – 4 weeks past. I began this 8-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $77 per hour.

    To ensure liberty government must be prohibited from initiating force. A 28th amendment would do it, "Government shall not initiate force." People are simple and they want a simple solution to their problems and it doesn't get any simpler than this.

  10. The Encogitationer   4 years ago

    Bastiat had wonderful ideas, but if I were him, I would have used a banner on The Montgolier Brothers hot air balloon thingie or Samuel Morse's new gizmo as the medium rather than expose others to the Coof of Death.

    Thanks for this post!if you like game stickman hook

    It was depressing…Although the supplicant from the Candle Maker Lobby was a hilarious touch.

  13. seo   4 years ago

    And? I see nothing wrong with people choosing to exclude others, does "live and let life" not extend to intolerance?.........www.now37.com

  14. Jgalt1975   4 years ago

    While I'm a big fan of Bastiat, I'm not quite sure what the point of this strip was. Is Bagge just doing a series on historical economists or something?

  15. Vajid Khan   4 years ago

    I am very interested in reading comic books the books series of bagge is very historical.
