“The Progressives’ hostility to ownership is neither well-founded nor
consistent. While they have a visceral distaste for private ownership
(and busy themselves taxing, regulating, seizing, and redistributing it),
they have few problems with state ownership. It’s as if men are
devilish with what’s theirs but angelic with what belongs to someone else.”
