Reducing Poverty by Reducing Government If workers, the poor, and the public at large understood their actual economic interests, they would rise up in outrage at the injustices foisted upon them. They would rise in outrage not against their usual targets, the businessmen and capitalists, who create the demand for the labor they sell and supply the products they buy, and who progressively raise real wages and the general standard of living by introducing ever newer and better products and more efficient methods of producing all products, but against the ignorant, incompetent politicians and intellectuals who have so misled them that more often than not they have been duped into positively yearning for the fetters that make them poor. It is time for everyone to open their eyes to the knowledge provided by the science of economics and to understand that it is economic freedom, not the government’s violations of economic freedom, that is the way out of poverty and is the foundation of prosperity for all. This is the story, the whole story and the only story. If we can enlighten the citizens of New Zealand concerning the truth about economic development and the way to omprove our standard of living then they will vote for suitable politicians to do the job. This is our task! Oct 14, 2004, 12:18
