In response to my post about Wisconsin and gas prices, Artur Oczko writes:
This Henry Hazlitt quote comes to mind"In fact, in the minds of many reformers it is not poverty that is the chief evil but inequality."
From http://mises.org/story/2526I grew up in communist Poland for part of my life. The one thing I still hear my dad talk about is how that system, which was just a harsher form of control that the one we have in the USA, created an atmosphere where everyone made sure that their neighbor did not have more of anything than they did. Wisconsin is making sure that everyone's misery is equal. How noble!?
