I sure wish he would apply this same line of thinking to all the things he believes in that fall into this same category. I would put his constant harping on income inequality leading to a break down in society at the top of the list.
Brazil is in good shape. Argentina is in good shape. People have cops as a public good and don't need to own guns. People aren't becoming more dependent on government.
