Last week Thomas Edsall had a column in the New York Times where
he directly stated that the difference between conservatives and
liberals is the extent over which they are willing to reverse market
outcomes to redistribute money from winners to losers:
“…the two sides are fighting over what the role of government in redistributing resources from the affluent to the needy should and shouldn’t be.”This was annoying not only because it is so seriously wrong, but also because this statement came from one of the more astute observers of American politics alive today.
