Over the course of 3 days Loren Spivack, also known as the "Free Market Warrior" taught local activists the importance of free markets, capitalism and the need for competition in our economic system.

Topics Included:

• Why some tax cuts (Bush's second term, Obama's proposed) do absolutely nothing to stimulate the economy, while others (Reagan's, Bush's first term) provide a great stimulus.

• Does the federal government need to protect consumers from corporate monopolies that would otherwise be able to charge whatever they wanted?

*Did Roosevelt's New Deal saved the country by intervening in the economy and "stimulating" demand?

*Is the biggest problem with American healthcare (one that is financially hurting us all) is that there is far too much insurance coverage?

*Were the economic theories espoused by the current administration and congressional leaders conclusively disproved more than 100 years ago.
