Institute Of Economic Development
Is allowing another economic boom counter to liberal theory because it would make too many people rich?
From an article today in the American Spectator:
The socialists are not stupid. They are evil. They know darn well that these policies would work. But they oppose them because the termination of government redistribution they involve, and the resulting economic boom, would work contrary to their fundamental goal of economic leveling. (Too many people would get rich in a boom for the Left’s tastes).
Author – Peter Ferrara – Peter Ferrara is director of entitlement and budget policy at the Institute for Policy Innovation, a policy advisor to the Heartland Institute, and general counsel of the American Civil Rights Union. He served in the White House Office of Policy Development under President Reagan, and as Associate Deputy Attorney General of the United States under the first President Bush. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
No. No matter what his titles, anyone who refers to the left as socialists loses credibility.
And actually, it’s a conservative thing to not allow any kind of economic gain until 2012. Watch.
