“‘A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.’ — Milton Friedman … Friedman’s quote is a succinct and wholly accurate analysis of freedom vs. tyranny, capitalism vs. socialism, the Right vs. the Left, conservatism vs. (current) liberalism, (some) Republicans vs. (all) Democrats. Tyrants don’t want you to be free. If you are free, then obviously they cannot control you, and modern Leftism is about nothing if not controlling the lives of as many people as possible and shooting or starving those whom they can’t control.” (03/20/25)
