They will never, ever admit that conservative ideas are wrong. Just like when Mia Love lost her House seat, she said something like “Conservative ideas work.” Oh yeah? WHERE do they work?? You’d think that if those ideas worked, there would be at least one country on this Earth that had implemented them, and that country should be one of the most successful, right?

I asked a friend of a friend on Facebook, who’s always going on and on about how taxation is theft, to point me to a single successful country that had no income tax and low taxes of other types. Two of his examples were the Cayman Islands and Saudi Arabia. I pointed out to him that the Cayman Islands gets most of its revenue from taxing tourists and cruise ships, and that the government there owns Cayman Airlines. And of course, the government of Saudi Arabia owns all of the oil reserves in that country. I asked him if he supported the idea of countries owning businesses, and I was met with crickets, of course. 😆😆
