Bernie, and to a lesser extent, Hillary beat this “drum” often.
But in this podcast, the team — Bob Murphy and Tom Woods — destroy the whole argument.

I especially like the “rags to riches and riches to rags” stories.
Makes sense.
And, how do immigrants, who arrive with virtually nothing, survive and succeed with that starting point?
Conflicts with the narrative that the Leftists want to push.
