When it comes to wealth, liberals are truly stupid. They do not realize that it is entirely possible to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Libs are perfectly happy to sit atop a ruined country. Witness Cuba, the USSR, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Argentina, and Haiti; and those transitioning to such a state - South Africa, Peru, Bolivia, Paraguay, Venezuela. Look how hard it is to recover to a normal economy, with the struggles of Russia, Poland, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Albania, the Balkans, the Ukraine... all of Eastern Europe. I’d be willing to bet China is bankrupt except they can fend off inquiries indefinitely.
Islam is the religion of Satan, and marxism is the politics of satan. President Bush toppled Saddam, the communist Muslim tyrant, so the left hates him.
