Rational Choice Theory
This is the one progressives/socialists use to explain why they need to centrally plan everything. The theory actually works well on a micro scale, which is why they try to macro everything.
And that is it in this series. I’ll try to find a replacement for future posts.
The Impossible Trinity
Better known as “Why Economics is Hard”
A pill that will turn you into a progressive.
Of course, I found this at a left/progressive site who said that this pill would turn you into a reichwinger, but I can’t see their analogy, so I’m taking it and suggesting that because of the dumbing down process after the pill is taken will turn you into a progressive.
You have been living a lie!
OK, so not really. But these people hate you so much they’ll believe anything.

The Principle of Comparative Advantage (aka: You do what you do best and I’ll do what I do best, and we’ll both make a profit)
Progressives really hate this one.
At some point debts must be paid, and ugly debts results in ugly solutions. No one, I don’t think, really imagined France would simply seize all of the property owned by the Catholic church to pay its debts in 1792… until they did.

This is in response to the confiscation of wealth from private citizens in Cyprus, and the fear that it could happen here through pensions or 401(k)s. But, it is already happening here through quantitative easing and ObamaCare. Our government cannot steal in the daylight like Europe because we still have guns. Our government must be more creative, or the low information voters might actually catch on when their paychecks are smaller.

Usually, dumb ideas from the UK or the eurozone strike on the east coast of the US, and before you know it, migrate themselves to California. The infection is concreted in state and federal legislatures and all of America suffers.
Thankfully, the criminalizing of speech missed the mainstream of the mainland and only the civil liability of “hate speech” whiffed its way across the Atlantic and landed a bit south.
But make no mistake, it is here.
Homophobic epithets are so pervasive across the globe that most heterosexual people are sadly unaware of the psychological and physical toil they have on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) people. Too often and cavalierly these epithets go either unchecked or unchallenged as hate speech.
Mexico, however, has stepped forward to define and reduce homophobic hate speech. Two commonly used words—â€punal†and “maricones†are the main targets. Both words closely translate as “faggot.â€
On March 6, in a vote of 3-2, Mexico’s Supreme Court ruled that these two homophobic hateful slurs are not legally protected in the country’s constitution as freedom of speech. The Supreme Court further ruled that any citizen offended by these words now could seek redress by suing for moral damages.
“Even though they are deeply rooted expressions in Mexican society, the fact is that the practices of the majority of society can’t validate the violations of basic right,†the Court wrote in support of its ruling.
Unfortunately, Mexico has an I.V. in California’s arm and this will be flowing in shortly.
