Politicians often operate according to the motto: never let a good crisis pass in order to expand the power we have achieved together. We are experiencing the massive expansion of state bureaucracy and interventionism with state quotas beyond 50% and outrageous taxation of individuals that can only be described as a raid on our coffers.
Increasingly socialist interventionism in Western democracies and economies is breeding the so-called political entrepreneur, the subsidy recipient at a higher level, who develops his expertise in sucking public money, i.e. our purchasing power.
Without wanting to be moralistic, which is the strength of the Germans these days (and I am one, but without running the risk of falling into this trap): every entrepreneur who accepts a subsidy is a welfare recipient!
Flanked by infantile climate apocalyptic narratives, the pseudo-economics of Keynesianism, these vampires of the economy are up to their mischief. And with the large-scale program of the Green Deal, a pseudo growth of the GdP, this brigade of vampires is given sufficient room to operate.
The accelerated decline of our economy is not least also their work, as they misallocate scarce resources to their own advantage with extreme effort and surprising creativity that would otherwise be denied them in life. They tie the forces that are indispensable for growth and prosperity to their state-sponsored subsidy charging stations.
We need to find our way back to free economics, the private formation of capital, free contract design and push back the state in every conceivable way.
Any progress we enjoy today, be it quantitative or qualitative, its better production conditions, more social surroundings, cleaner environmental conditions, we owe exclusively to the disappearing ever-shrinking residue of the free economy that the political caste of central planners still allows us.
