Once the tentacles of redistributionism wrap themselves tightly around every part of the economy - and around our psyches - they can never be unwound.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't believe in a redistribution of wealth.
I don't think that capitalism should be unbridled, if by 'unbridled' you mean unregulated.
Men may die, but the fabrics of free institutions remains unshaken.
Policymakers, elected and unelected, need to be ever-mindful that the U.S. economy does not exist in isolation.
What if capitalism is unsustainable, and socialism is impossible?
With respect to the first of these obstacles, it has often been made a matter of grave complaint against Political Economists, that they confine their attention to Wealth, and disregard all consideration of Happiness or Virtue.
No major entitlement, once it has been implemented, has ever been unwound.

The guy keeps making speeches about redistribution and maybe we ought to do something to businesses that don't invest, their holding too much money. We haven't heard that kind of talk except from pure socialists. Everybody's afraid of the government and there's no need soft peddling it, it's the truth. It is the truth.
The modern economy isn't about the redistribution of wealth, it's about the redistribution of time.
