Quote Of The Day

"I will admit that I do find it odd the way that only certain parts of the, say, Swedish, 'miracle' are held up [by American liberals] as ideas for us to copy. Wouldn't it be interesting if we were urged to adopt some other Swedish policies?

Abolish inheritance tax (Sweden doesn't have one), have a pure voucher scheme to pay for the education system (as Sweden does), do not have a national minimum wage (as Sweden does not) and most certainly do not run the health system as a national monolith (as Sweden again does not).

But then those policies don't accord with the liberal and progressive ideas in the USA so perhaps their being glossed over is understandable, eh?"

— Tim Worstall, libertarian commentator
