David Harsanyi, in his piece If It Redistributes Like a Duck,
Now, I’m not suggesting Obama intends to transform this nation into 1950s-era Soviet tyranny or that he will possess the power to do so. I’m suggesting Obama is praising and mainstreaming an economic philosophy that has failed to produce a scintilla of fairness or prosperity anywhere on earth. Ever.
And there it is. If you could bear to think rationally and get past all the warm, fuzzy hope for change that will hopefully change us — buffered of course by the pointedly objective sense of fairness the government has time and again proven to embody — the thought may have occurred to you that the kind of change Obama is proposing is certainly a departure… a departure from a system that works remarkably well to a system that has yet to ever prove itself. And believe me, it’s had the opportunity.
It’s not that we don’t have room for improvement economically, but why this ignorant push to throw out the baby with the bath water?
