This is a very interesting quote
"Political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom"
History proves this to be completely false. During the times of greatest "economic freedom" we also saw the greatest oppression of the common man.. Back when large corporations were "free" they formed monopolies that destroyed competition from the "little guys" and led to price controls and market manipulation. Using this "economic freedom" business magnates amassed fortunes through price gouging and suppressed wages.
Without strong government regulation there is no "freedom" for the common man. They all become subjects of oppression by the wealthy.
This is not a "theory". This is a fact proven by the history of the United States.

Some will read, and still remain willfully ignorant.

resistance to cult indoctrination is not being willfully ignorant
the willfully ignorant are the cult members who believe BS
BTW YOUR WASHINGTON QUOTE
WAS ABOUT PARTYS AS CULTS
THE RUMP CULT OF THE CURRENT Gop
IS A VERY GOOD EXAMPLE OF EXACTLY WHAT HE FEARED

So you agree that what I said was true? If not, then which part do you claim is not true?
I don't know why you make these cryptic comments instead of just clearly saying what you mean. It is like you want to play little games instead of having any sort of discussion.
