The Democrats Want You to Die

I think most liberals are not malicious, just mentally lazy They honest-to-God don't understand the philosophical underpinnings of the free market. They think the "free market" is something that greedy rich white people are trying to foist on the innocent citizenry, when in fact the free-market concept is nothing more than accurate observations about human nature.

Adam Smith's concept of the invisible hand is the best encapsulation of why individuals work hard for their own betterment, and that individual betterment is a benefit to society. In the 250+ years since Smith's observation, history has proved him correct 100% of the time.

I think you can count the founders of the country in the catagory that had that natural aversion to the idea that central authority and planning is better than the individual and free markets.
You are right, liberals must have some gene that causes them to be blind to their own contradictions and nonsense. For example, they are for "choice" when it involves abortions, but not so keen on "choice" when it comes to health care. Liberals seem to think wealth just happened and that government exists regardless of the private economy or the consent of people. I guess, if you can win a beauty contest, what we call an election, then you are like God and the rest of us just need to get over our ideals of being individuals and entrepenuers.

Easy there, Fletch. Don't stoop.

You must remember that some people have a gut understanding of the benefits of free markets, and others don't. Some people have a natural aversion to the idea that government can spend and invest more wisely than individuals, while other don't.

It happens that many of those others call themselves liberals, and are bent on making all of us follow their leader's socialist planning. Trying to explain economics, either theoretically or empirically, to liberals is a lot like summoning your children to dinner with a dog whistle.
