The new fad is “libertarian paternalism.” Obama’s friend Cass Sunstein is a big promoter of this. The argument is people make errors in making decisions and sometimes go against their own self-interest; therefore, the government should exploit people’s inherent biases to help them make the ‘right’ decisions.
“Libertarian Paternalism”... hmmm... that is straight out of the communist “Opinion Making” handbook of arrogance of thieves and plagiarists.
