Re: A brief rant on American politics

It's either a complete contradiction,* or he doesn't understand capitalism.

And he understands capitalism, Ted Cruz is an intelligent guy.

*I don't think this is even a particularly partisan point: to the extent that believers in free markets are framing this as a conversation about income inequality, there's just no way to justify that. Because by the nature of capitalism, any successful business is going to make a profit, and businesses are only going to give raises or hire people if it's economically rational for them to do so, IE, if it makes them more money. It's one thing for a believer in the efficacy of free markets to talk about eliminating poverty; I strongly disagree with the idea that it's capable of doing so, but I accept that there's an argument there. But talking about free markets as reducing income inequality just seems fundamentally impossible.
