IF history teaches us one thing, its that it teaches socialists nothing.

What if you asked people if you rather have your rich boss pay more taxes or give you a raise or bonus?

This is an interesting question @Fenderbender123 and I don't know the answer. By the time the Constitution was ratified slavery was all but dead on the northern states where most of the population resided.

Most people don't know shit about economics because they went to public school where they've made sure to eliminate that topic.

Ceteris paribus is certainly not something that people understand when economics is discussed.

Fuck that. In my public high school ghetto hood, supply and demand concepts were utilized all the time.

If there was five weed dealers hanging out in the park, the price was less than if there were only two.

Same concept with hookers.
