In ye old England there was a great investor named Keynes. He made lots and lots of money investing in the stock market. Of cause the people who call themselves conservatives in this country said Keynes is dead. ( Yea he died the year I was born) Some even vilify him calling him a socialist or even worse a commie.
Yea I know it isn't because he was a great investor but the misinterpretation of his theories on government intervention (stimulus) during the time high unemployment. You would think the right would like the idea of lower taxes but for some reason that part of the stimulus package is ignored. They don't like the fact that putting money into the hands of the many to do useful work that the private sector wouldn't do, thus creating ability to pay for what the private sector does best. Of cause they believe in the employment fairy, and thinks things can be bought with thin air.
Now in modern America there this gut named Mr. Buffett. Now all Mr. Buffett do was to say that those who make millions should pay the same percentage as his secretary. He was made fun of. Imagine being made fun of by people who have trouble tying their shoe laces.
I don't know why we call the right, the right when they couldn't be more wrong.
It takes a left and a right wing to fly, so I really don't want to see the end of a right wing in this country
