I ran into a self proclaimed ‘highly edcuated economist’ last night. after a bit of back and forth, he labelled himself as a progressive. he then went on about evil rich people and how selfish they are... and how their wealth should be confiscated to help the ‘little guy’. nonstop bs.

the irony that this ‘highly educated economist’ was also dead broke and going check to check totally escaped him... yet I’m supposed to listen to his views on how the country should be run

My experience with economists is that a significant portion of them are actually barking mad. Really. Complete moonbats.

They really believe that “We owe it to ourselves” garbage about the deficit and think we should take money away from the rich and give it to the “poor” because the poor will spend it right away, thus boosting our economy.

Really. They actually think that way.
