True Populism Requires Aristocratic Institutions |
The judiciary and academe are examples of aristocratic institutions
necessary in a healthy democracy.
Education isn't up to a majority of creationists to decide and minority
rights isn't up to a majority of bigots to decide.
All economic policy, however, belongs to the people.
Ain't no minority gonna get singled out because of a change in the
discount rate or tax rate.
Free speech on economic issues belongs to everyone. If you can not
compete in the marketplace of ideas, tough.

That last sentence is one you should meditate on. If you need
some ayahuasca to aid in your meditation, maybe I can help.
(What I am referring to here, is your continual whine that
nobody in the "corp-***** international financier robber
baron media" (whenever you talk, it's like nostalgia for the
30s -- just how old are you?) is talking about your pet
economic issues.)

my religion." Boo hoo.
