First, most people do not know what wealth is. Second, most people do not understand the purpose of money. Third, most people don’t understand the benefits gained from the divisions of labor and free trade. Last, people are often risk averse, and they too often develop anti-competition attitudes. It takes many steps of understanding complex concepts and contrarian thinking for the average person to see the world the same way we do.
The concepts are fairly simple to understand, once they get the big picture, but it’s getting there that’s hard.
Couldn’t agree with you more.
It all starts with a basic understanding of things that are pretty straight forward and easy to understand.
Unfortunately, because of our public school system, the Commies get their hands on American kids at a very young age and never give them the chance to be exposed to those basic free-market concepts.
The lucky few learn it on their own once they are older and out of the system.
For the rest, they never get it.
That’s how you get an anti-capitalist in the highest office in the United States of America.
Tragic.
