Economics 101

Nov 05, 2010 15:39

Government very rarely contributes to the creation of wealth. Almost all wealth (except infrastructure) is created by the private sector. You can't have growth in wealth by moving little green pieces of paper around; you have to create something new, using resources and labor, that adds to the general pool of "stuff" on the earth.

Conservatives want to move more money back into the private sector which creates wealth. Liberals want to take money out of the private sector and redistribute it, which not only creates NO wealth, it actually stifles wealth creation, because it takes the most from the very people who are in the best position to employ labor, buy resources, and make "stuff."
