The private sector has become the Democratic politicians’ punching bag — 3 Comments

  1. How many Democratic policymakers have true private sector experience? No, not at a law firm, or a Beltway think tank. At a real, no-kidding producer of goods/services that doesn’t depend on government contracts for the vast majority of its revenue. How many? Either as employer or employee. Without doing any research on it, my guess would be not many, and for those who did work there, not for very long. So, if my guess is correct, the Dems would naturally blame the “other”, which for them is the world outside of government and academia. In other words, the private sector.

  2. It is the closest think to an automatic response on the left (cf the British anthropology prof who thinks we should hang the bankers). When anything goes wrong and there’s money near it, it must not only be business at fault, but exclusively business at fault. It doesn’t seem to even occur to them that politicians could be at fault.

  3. For what it’s worth, the rule of thirds was kinda sorta touched on as long ago as John Adams in describing the American people…seems to be something of an historical constant.
