The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is
that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find
the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work
in order to survive.

The Democrats are the party of government activism, the party that says
government can make you richer, smarter, taller, and get the chickweed
out
of
your lawn. Republicans are the party that says government doesn't work,
and
then get elected and prove it.
P. J. O'Rourke

I wonder how many of the people who profess to believe in the leveling
ideas of collectivism and egalitarianism really just believe that they
themselves are good for nothing. I mean, how many leftists are
animated by a quite reasonable self-loathing? In their hearts they
know that they are not going to become scholars or inventors or
industrialists or even ordinary good kind people. So they need a way
to achieve that smugness for which the left is so justifiably famous.
They need a way to achieve self-esteem without merit. Well, there is
politics. In an egalitarian world everything will be controlled by
politics, and politics requires no merit.

I've never done anything. I've worked for my dad. I worked in the oil
business. But that's not the kind of profile you have to have to get elected
