As I see it, liberals are putting forward what appears on the surface to be a legitimate criticism and conservatives are countering it with the apology that, yes, capitalism is failing, but collectivism is worse.

In 1987, Levon Helm, a former cotton farmer from Arkansas, sat brooding in his yard, trying to describe why his apparent success had turned to near-bankruptcy: “Well, it’s hard to put your finger on. You get behind financially and once you get behind financially, you seem to get behind spiritually. And your luck turns against you.”

However, the further each country goes down the Keynesian road, the clearer it becomes that Keynesian theory simply does not work.

Imagine that you’re in mid-flight on a passenger jet and the captain flies directly into a Category Five hurricane.

If they can afford it, they additionally rent or purchase a home and acquire the right to residency in such a country, so that, if their home country suddenly becomes less livable, they can simply pack a carry–on and be on a plane that day.
