A very bright Marin professional told me she’s incredibly excited about the proposed Obama health care plan, because the government is certain to be more efficient than the market. When I suggested that the market might be more efficient if we took away the thousands of regulations that impeded it, allowing it to function more cheaply, she brushed that off: “The insurance companies are raking in the money. The government should take over.” This is what 30 years of anti-capitalistic, Marxist education has created. People who think they can stay rich in a government run economy — because it’s not fair that others make money.
