Message to Barack Obama: Unlike you, the Entrepreneur is a bona fide hero.

Message to Barack Obama: Unlike you, the Entrepreneur is a bona fide hero.

Watching the U.S., the EU, Japan, and other once prosperous countries going broke is a sad sight to behold.  And what they all have in common is that they’ve tried state capitalism — a shotgun marriage between capitalism and socialism — and found that Margaret Thatcher was right when she said, “The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.

Now, spoiled parasites everywhere are angry because their hosts have run out of other people’s money.  The message of the parasites is straightforward:  “We don’t give a damn if you don’t have enough money to pay our entitlements.  We want them anyway!”

For convenience, in this article I will lump together all left-wing state capitalists — liberals, progressives, socialists, communists — under the umbrella of “progressivism.”  In fact, let’s make that “retrogressivism,” because the term progressivism is a misnomer.  Progressives are really Retrogressives, because their words and actions make it clear that they hate progress.

By contrast, the Entrepreneur thrives on progress.  As a result, his creativity, efforts, and willingness to take risks have resulted in Western civilization having the highest standard of living mankind has ever known.
