Central planners have forever failed. The thing that made the USA different was its early implicit trust in the individual to make the right choices, to live his or her life as they deemed fit. Democrats have in recent decades wanted to substitute government choice for individual choice because they believe that some significant subset of the population is incapable of making good choices. This elitist attitude is at the root of nearly all our present problems. Half of our population are convinced that Uncle Sugar can make better decisions for them than they can for themselves. In a nutshell, that is what is wrong with our country.

This elitist attitude is at the root of nearly all our present problems.

I agree. And the root of their elitism is narcissism. How can they love themselves if they aren’t better than you? Helping the helpless affirms their superiority, is the much needed fuel to continue their love for themselves.
