Flawed Comparison

This chart has been produced by Liberals to try to prove that Democrats are better for the economy than Republicans. The problem with it is that its whole premise is flawed. The comparison should not be between Democrats and Republicans; it should be between Leftists and Conservatives. When we look at it that way, we realize that the Leftists have occupied the Oval Office for 42 of the past 50 years. The only time we had an actual Conservative in office was from 1981 to 1989. During that time, the Dow more then doubled and over 16 million jobs were created. But the larger point is this: America is on a tragectory that will inevitably lead to chaos, the collapse of our free society, and the arrival of Big Brother. This is because people have developed the mind-set that "government is the answer." Sure, government has a role to play, but government is not, and can never be, the engine of economic growth. The best government can do is get out of the way and allow the private sector to do what only it can do with a minimal level of regulation. This is what Ronald Reagan did. But now, as an increasing number of citizens are looking to government to be their provider and care-taker, the role of the private sector is being subsumed under the power of the state. This will inevitable lead to the decline we are seeing today.
