I'm in some random political fb groups and the amount of bad economic theory these ppl mass support is seriously unsettling and makes me wanna roll back democracy

I just love how people think the rich will pay the rich tax don’t realize that the greed of rich knows no bounds, they will roll those costs down hill. The government knows that too but they get their cut regardless. Economic inflation will occur to cover it.

think democracy is better at limiting downside rather than finding the upside.

I think if everyone who wants to give a theory was forced to read Sowell's basic economics the world would be a significantly better place

There's a reason why we're a republic. The idea that we're supposed to be a democracy is a sham. PPL think our reps
are supposed to vote how we want them to. But actually they are supposed to be the best among us and make decisions for us with their better judgement

If the people do not choose the idiots who govern them, who does? And what basis is there to believe that wise and economically literate leaders will result?
