"Those who produce should have, but we know that those who produce the most — that is, those who work hardest, and at the most difficult and most menial tasks, have the least."
- Eugene V. Debs (1855-1926), five-time Socialist Party candidate for U.S. President
We have fascists and socialists in the US.
thinking of it in economic terms most liberal democrats grew up as socialists who believed government should own all the wealth and distribute it fairly.
but libs have realized that managing the means of production that creates wealth is hard work and libs are not very good at it.
so they are now economic fascists who allow private citizens to produce the wealth while government taxes the profits for its own use.
I have never defended the republican leadership in congress today.
what I have been trying to tell you is that the republican base agrees with libertarians 80% of the time.
which means the repub leadership can be improved.
but I don't think you want to see a better Republican Party.
you are really working for the democrats and just won't admit it.
Tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. ― Gustav Mahler
