Hey all my pro-business Conservative and Libertarian followers! Let me tell you how I have arrived at my crazy Leftie views of economic policy.
1. I will happily grant you that capitalism is good at generating wealth. But that is less important to me than equal wealth distribution and environmental sustainability. It's not my #1 priority.
2. Great wealth disparity skews the power balance even in a well-maintained democracy, because money is power.
