re:Obama and GK Chesterton are a page apart but the text is the same.
What are you saying by this comment?
We have been trying the “third way” (as opposed to free markets) for 60 years. It has caused disparity of income, declining standard of living, reduced the manufacturing sector, and driven investment and labor overseas. Raising taxes to unsustainable levels and expecting the government to pick winners and losers in the creative chaos of a dynamic economy is foolhardy. Statists have been trying this since Lenin. Obama is still trying. The government is the problem, not the solution. All the way, or part of the way. Either way, it does not work.
