“Vivek Ramaswamy would like to tax virtually all inherited wealth and give it to the government. This would create a permanent class of parasites (even more than the cabal currently looting the US Treasury) who would undoubtedly wreck both the economy and the society.“

“The Capitalist Manifesto” by Andrew Bernstein is a very good book. Another very good book is “The Government Against the Economy” by Reisman and many small books by Mises: Planned Chaos, Planning for Freedom and so on. Mises refuted the intellectual case for Socialism oh about a hundred years or so ago. Another good book that some might find relevant to today”s troubles: “The Ominous Parallels” by Peikoff.
Ramaswamy has been busy and he was largely trained at university which is a huge obstacle to sound intellectual development and I point to the pathetic state of the world as proof for such a statement. Universities have largely been taken over by 60s thugs.
