Common Sense for Socialists

PRINCIPLE #1: Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free.
PRINCIPLE #2: What belongs to you, you tend to take care of; what belongs to no one or everyone tends to fall into disrepair.
PRINCIPLE #3: Sound policy requires that we consider long-run effects and all people, not simply short-run effects and a few people.
PRINCIPLE #4: If you encourage something, you get more of it; if you discourage something, you get less of it.
PRINCIPLE #5: Nobody spends somebody else's money as carefully as he spends his own.
PRINCIPLE #6: Government has nothing to
give anybody except what it first takes from somebody, and a government
that's big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take
away everything you've got.
PRINCIPLE #7: Liberty makes all the difference in the world.
Elaboration here. More here on Bolivia's industry nationalization plans.
