Elizabeth Warren Cannot Plan For Creative Surprises

Goofy Elizabeth Warren has made centralized planning a cornerstone of her 2020 presidential campaign. She claims to have a plan for everything ailing America. In her mind, the federal government can organize society so efficiently that it can improve lives better than capitalism can. She advocates a "wealth tax" on the ultra-wealthy as if their riches will be there for the government to take forever. She has not explained what happens after year one of her tax, but she thinks she does not need to. She believes the government can predict the future. She is confident her economic "experts" will craft a solution for everything and anything. She is a socialist, so it is no surprise that she is short-sighted in this regard. She fails to realize, however, that there is one aspect of human nature that always ruins socialism. As the great George Gilder explains, socialism fails because it cannot account for the one constant throughout humanity -- creative surprises. In this VIP Column, we will examine Warren's health care plan and (bet you didn't see this one coming) how a Florida beer company proves that capitalism is uniquely crafted to allow for creative solutions.
