America's Moment of Clarity

The government-induced “spread the wealth around” mentality – through higher corporate taxes, personal income taxes, taxes on dividends, taxes on capital gains, limits on growth, out-of-control regulation – results in economic ruin for all. The end result is on display for all to see, and incredibly, some still don’t get it, as riots ensue over necessary austerity measures. If there’s no money left, what do they believe is gained from Molotov cocktails, overturned cars, and most horrific, murdered bankers? While no pleasure should be gleaned from what Greece is going through (or the entire euro zone, for that matter), the timing couldn’t be better for this country, and the debates we’ve recently engaged. Greece’s embarrassment is doing more for limited government and supply-side arguments than any Friedman-loving, Reagan-worshipping conservative could ever dream.
