Part Of Our Job

What do liberals think is the job of government?
“I don’t know if I agree with them. Any kind of a plan, if it’s a good plan and a progressive plan, is going to take some property rights, but that’s part of our job – to channel evolvement, to get a good development, to have it proper and do it right,” Woodcox said.
Government must “channel evolvement,” create “good development” by insuring that they “do it right.” I can think of no better example of everything that is wrong with modern liberal thinking. They believe nothing can happen without government planning. Their ignorance of the benefits of free markets, that order is emergent, drives them into disastrous interventions in the market. This is not government’s job. Government exists to protect, not infringe upon, our rights.
