David Strom:
Liberals will often say things like, "The United States is the wealthiest country on earth, but we don't have anything like the welfare benefits of Europe, even though we can afford them more than they."
Apparently, they don't see the contradiction in their logic. The United States is significantly wealthier because we don't have as large a welfare state and have a freer market. The bigger and more intrusive the state, the less vital the economy. See: Europe. And Europe will, soon enough, not be able to maintain the welfare state they are so proud of. Consider the UK healthcare system to see how unpleasant state-run healthcare can be.
