A timeless truth the Democrats in the Minnesota legislature need to hear over and over:

The 30 percent coalition's celebration of big government and the welfare state is based on a misunderstanding of the human heart, writes Brooks. Our political class thinks that "money buys happiness, as long as it is distributed fairly." But the secret of human flourishing -- no matter your status -- is not money but "earned success" in life, he says.

"We pledge to serve Communism, the 57 states, and ACORN for our brothels."

I think her analisys is correct - it’s about 30% of the American population that thinks this way (the big government way). Theoretically, that 30% should just be a grumbling minority while the 70% runs the country to favor things like freedom and individual iniative.

I’m still puzzled as to how a group that is such a minority has managed to take over our country.
