"White House releases "The Opportunity Cost of Socialism""


          

They're scared. Whose wealth are you going to enjoy expropriating most?

... almost immediately. Like, I thought I had scrolled incorrectly but it turned out that I was just reading a slightly expanded version of the same thing. I'm grading papers in between trying to slog through this thing and I actually prefer my students' work, which is ... not strong.

Because they *don't* view programs to improve people's material conditions as a threat to their wealth. And why tomorrow we'll have a sixty page refutation of Catholic Integralism - because this dumb paper was just an academic exercise in evaluating different political philosophies.

I think, as always, they're being proactive because it's served them well thus far. They see (a) movement(s) building that could *become* (a) threat(s) if they don't nip it(them) in the bud so they're covering their bases.

So I don't think they're "scared" yet ... just doing what they have been doing, because it's been working.

drumming up some 'Murrican fear for the election.

Maybe a few red blooded god fearing 'Murricans out there who weren't going to vote this cycle, end up voting to stop soshalism...cuz...freedom.


They aren't scared of sh!t. Why would they be?
