The conservative answer to all economic issues is to provide more money to the wealthy and deprive the poor. Somehow, money is not the same motivator for the poor as it is for the wealthy.

The fact that we have not yet relegated conservatism, neoliberalism, and libertarianism to the dust bin of history along with other failed experiments only speaks to the ignorance of the American voting populace. None of us is as stupid as all of us. The Achilles heel of democracy is - - - democracy.
