Peter Foster, writes in Canada’s National Post about Paul Krugman’s Con Job. In response to Krugman’s recent piece in the New York Times, The Tax-Cut Con, Foster writes:
That truly great economic journalist, Frédéric Bastiat, who saw the first waves of socialist humbug sweeping across Europe in the late 19th century, wrote, responding to the Paul Krugmans of his day: “We disapprove of state education. Then the socialists say that we are opposed to any education ... We object to a state-enforced equality. Then they say that we are against equality ... It is as if the socialists were to accuse us of not wanting persons to eat because we do not want the state to raise grain.”
