  1. He may be nice to listen to but incorporating his ideas into actual polices has turned out badly-Kansas is 1 example.

  2. And Ellen, despite all her problems, has probably been better for other people.

  3. Zlaya Ba, actually I though it was interesting he mentioned oligarchs since they arguably have a relationship to Trumpism. Gabriel Frost, you seem to have fallen for Nazi PR efforts. Yes PR efforts since back in time those labeled as Socialists were popular in Germany so Nazis took the word and slapped in on themselves while ignoring the meaning. There actually was a Socialist Party in Germany and the Nazi's banned it when they finally had the chance (and other political parties as they were believers in not having further elections once they finally scrapped through 1 with a enough of the vote they were able to haggle their way into power).

  4. "From Liberalism to Despotism" I feel like someone may be offering to charge me money in order to feed me propaganda-thus using my time and money. Noteworthy point, it wasn't the followers of "Liberalism" that decided to use gerrymandering to rig the elections all over my state. Now yes, I'm sure followers in some states were, yet at the Federal level they were willing to put to a limit or outright stop to it in all states-those run by followers of "Liberalism" and those not. Yet that didn't happen not because of the followers of Liberalism but those who opposed their party. If we are to talk of "Despotism" why is it that it turned out those closer to "Liberalism" were willing to let the citizens of my state pick who their representatives are while those who are not were not?

  5. Laffer bears some responsibity for screwing up the Kansas state budget. That anybody has him teaching anything related to economics or budgets is very questionable.

  6. How did Kansas's former Governor Sam Brownback following Mr. Laffer's tax ideas work out? Very badly if memory serves. But lets have freedom. Lets get the government out of the way for those who want to sue fossil fuel companies for Global Warming related property damages. You break something you pay for it-it is called responsibility.
