Why do so many assume a capitalistic economy is static?

Most of the population are economic illiterates. To liberals it is a static, zero sum game. The only way their voters can make more money is if they take it from the "rich."

We have a problem here with a hot economy and high housing prices. The market is responding by building more housing. Simple supply and demand, right? So, of course, a liberal group wants to impose new construction limits. Go figure.
