You’re going to have to run with some Populism if you plan to win in 2016. The electorate as it stands today is in no mood for more of the same old same old lassiez-faire.
Sad from an economic purist’s viewpoint, but it’s political reality.
Out with the old then in with the new
If we'd actually had any laissez-faire in the last quarter century, I could possibly be consoled by what you are saying.
As it is, I am tremendously saddened to see so many supposed conservatives infected by the "occupy Wall Street" virus.
I expect to vote for whichever third party candidate is most in favor of capitalism......
