I am simply saying that America was rising from 1775 -> 1930 or so so based on free markets and individual liberty. Progressives started to fuck things up at around 1900 and by 1930 the trajectory of the United States was flat. By 1970 it was downwards. The fact that people at the peak 1930-1960ish thought that social programs were a good idea is actually an indictment of those programs. I don't see why you are having trouble understanding this argument.

And yet, you can't create 14 trillion for yourself out of thin area. You can't buy off politicians to override food safety regulations. This position is pure textbook. Reality says government is always owned by and for the wealthy.

I mean, do you not understand basic supply and demand? Even the Marxist propaganda centers we call colleges today teach microeconomics.
