Stephen Moore has a WSJ column today that is most depressing. He writes about how many businesses are channeling money into Democratic coffers for next year’s race.
Moore is right: “Business is living in a fantasy world if they believe this will spare them from what is likely to be one of the most anti-growth agendas that Washington has seen in many decades. Nor should they be spared. When you sell the rope to the hangman, you deserve to have a noose around your neck.”
Except that they’re giving away the rope.
And of course, it isn’t just “business” that will suffer from the anti-market and collectivist policy ideas of the whole array of interest groups eager for a Democratic sweep. In fact, businesses with the right connections may be fine. It is all the rest of us who will feel the pain — for years to come.
