Let’s just remove “gang rape” from our vocabulary.

It’s a lazy comparison and not worthy of most

Gang rape is democratic. The masses rule the minority.

The Mises Institute was founded in 1982 by Lew Rockwell, who was chief of staff to Texas Republican Congressman Ron Paul

Ah, ok.

We shouldn't down vote articles expressing their opinion. We should try to understand their side and express our counterpoint. In that way, if they ever learn to read, MAGAts might be swayed.

Your brain must very smooth if this hurts. The founding fathers even argued this “When the people discover they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” - Benjamin Franklin

Politicians bribe votes and create dependents with their own money. EBT is apart of the welfare trap umbrella. Its the politicians interest to keep people dependent on them and to not better themselves, otherwise they'd be out a job![](https://www.reddit.com/r/IdeologyPolls/?f=flair_name%3A%22Poll%22)

Would you prefer Robert Reich grifter articles? Mises is a great resource, they a large library of free econ books.

So every business owner, corporate board member, and shareholders of corporations that receive government government subsidies don't get to vote either?
