Yet more evidence that the values of Social Conservatism are really the values of Fiscal Conservatism. If you want a strong economy, promote traditional social values: hard-work, stable families, real education, moral behavior.
Let’s not forget thrift.
The left side of life's bell curve, which is almost half the population, does not want a strong economy. They blame the strong success of the right side of the bell curve for their unhappiness. They are certain they can only be happy if everyone in the world is forced to live a Cuban existence.
What if the left side of the bell curve lived in their own economy? Half of them would become the right side of the new bell curve, and would be against government wealth destruction. Half of them would be upstanding citizens, highly respected in their communities. We can reduce our leftists from 50% of the population down to 25% by creating insulated sub-economies for them. This function used to be provided by national borders.
