#250 YEARS: "America’s abundance was not created by public sacrifices to 'the common good,' but by the productive genius of free men"
"America’s abundance was not created by public sacrifices to 'the common good,' but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes. They did not starve the people to pay for America’s industrialisation. They gave the people better jobs, higher wages, and cheaper goods with every new machine they invented, with every scientific discovery or technological advance — and thus the whole country was moving forward and profiting, not suffering, every step of the way."
Today I saw a note on Substack by some idiot who seems to have a following. Forget his name. He said about Mamdani “He has replaced the frigidity of individualism with the warmth of collectivism.” Let’s hope they get that good and hard.
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 or off topic. 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.
