The biggest fault in liberal thinking is what I believe is their failure to understand that most people fail on their own volition, and that some people will win and some will lose. Libs always want to believe people fail because “the system” or some other impersonal force is against the losers. Basically, most failures fail because they’re losers. Many lib efforts/programs try to make losers succeed by punishing the winners. The losers continue to lose, but that doesn’t stop libs from beating their heads against a rock trying to equalize things.
That means that any sensible person would tread cautiously in the field of promising, and actually attempting, to deliver higher standard of living for the typical person than will happen by the initiative of American citizens/society without intervention by self-flattering “elites."
