Problem is, economics takes too long to explain.
A boo-hoo anecdote usually makes the news and pressures people to “care” and be “fair”.
So true.
Although today I had a really good conversation with a more liberal friend of mine and I think a lot of my points got across.
The problems are that even “Keynsians and Supply Siders (the latter of which can be allied with conservatives in certiain goals but are NOT)” are seen as “conservative”- A true economic conservative not only agrees with Friedman on free-markets and free-trade (true free trade), but also is partial to the Austrian School of Economics and free-banking!
