It's a question of viewpoint..........

From Carpe Diem comes a timely post.  An excerpt:


This is good time to invoke the spirit of French economist Bastiat, who wrote these words in a letter four days before his death in 1850:

"Treat all economic questions from the viewpoint of the consumer, for the interests of the consumer are the interests of the human race."

Given a choice between siding with the disorganized, dispersed consumers/human race and  the concentrated, well-organized special-interest of the producers, the politicians will crush economic liberty to protect the incumbent producers almost every time, and the city officials in Nashville are no exception.  Sadly, the human race suffers.
