Most people don't bother to read history or understand economics, so playing to ignorance is sometimes a winner's game.

Reminds me of something Rush quoted from Thomas Sowell. Confusing rhetoric with substance.

He should be bound and gagged, and "The Marketing of Evil" force fed to his brain, then see if he admits an original thought never entered his brain - then again, after so many years of TV and government sponsored schools, he'll never wake up. What makes me angry, these brainwashed do-gooders are taking the future of my grandchildren down with them.
