How about we all simply agree, @elonmusk and @Thomas__Weber, that Hitler was a statist/collectivist and an enemy of classical liberalism. Though his economic misdeeds pale in comparison with his other sins. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Hello @elonmusk, Hitler historian here, having researched & written about Hitler for 22 yrs & being a fellow of the Hoover Institution - not exactly a hotbed of far left ideas. This doesn’t add up. It is predicated on the false assumption that collectivism only exists on the Left

A great suggestion from @AdrianRavier. And Argentina almost certainly would win the prize for largest single-year reduction in the burden of government spending, thanks to @JMilei. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Ordinary people are much worse off in France, which has a huge welfare state, than they are in the U.S. and Switzerland, which have medium-sized welfare states (1/2, link in reply)

Yes, Belgium could suffer a fiscal crisis before France. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
This post from @DanielKral1 is further evidence about the remarkable improvements in Greek fiscal policy (though a lot more spending restraint is still needed) danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
Spot on, @SteveForbesCEO. I’ve been a loyal 1K flyer on @united Airlines. But why should I patronize $UAL in the future when its CEO is pushing evil and immoral wealth taxes? danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
United CEO Scott Kirby wants a national wealth tax and inheritance taxes approaching 100%. Why not focus on improving service for customers paying more and getting less? If he wants to help Americans, he should focus on his customers, not punitive taxes.

For the rest of us, we can decide whether we want to fly on @united Airlines when the company CEO is pushing for a hard-left, class-warfare tax agenda that will hurt the incomes of ordinary Americans. danieljmitchell.wordpress.co… (2/2)
There’s a simple step Scott can take. He should tell the @united board to cut his $34 million salary to $30,000 and voluntarily mail the rest of it to the federal government.
Whenever someone recommends socialism, they should agree to go first.
According to opensecrets.org, Scott Kirby of @united Airlines gives lots of contributions to leftist politicians such as Cory Booker and Dick Durbin. If he really cares about inequality, here’s a great suggestion from @AaronKlein. And here’s a link with the form he can use: danieljmitchell.wordpress.co… (1/2)

Scott Kirby’s support of class-warfare tax policy shouldn’t be a surprise. If you go to opensecrets.org, you’ll find that the CEO of @united Airlines has been a big donor to left-wing politicians such as Senators Dick Durbin and Cory Booker.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby wants to show customers in seat 34B he feels their pain by endorsing a national wealth tax. Such virtue-signaling is cheaper than complimentary pretzels.

More spending, more taxes, and more debt = bad news for Belgium danieljmitchell.wordpress.co…
