Inequality: Do something about "rents"

The best article about inequality that I have ever read.

That is all for now, perhaps more later.

The Conservative Wahoo said...: 1. Free markets are often far less free than we think; the thumb is often on the scale, and it is often an unholy alliance between government and an industry that benefits.

2. The "Kludgeocracy" article this guy wrote (and that he mentions) is a meisterwerk also.; September 25, 2015
"The Hammer" said...: "...greater inequality is often the price of economic growth..."
This is a lie, and as CW said, if that's the case then a closer look will reveal some government collusion. This is the lie the left have perpetrated on America for decades.
Consider, from 1970 to 1980 the Forbes 400 remained 80% constant. From 1980 to 1990 20%. Progressive policies entrench wealth and privilege, not the other way around.; September 25, 2015

The Conservative Wahoo

The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.

The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.

The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.
