"The more one considers the matter, the clearer it becomes that
redistribution is in effect far less a redistribution of income
from the richer to the poorer, as we imagined, than a redistribution
of power from the individual to the State"
-- Bertrand de Jouvenel, economist, philosopher
and co-founder of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
