It’s funny how it’s always the Epsteins.
"Progressives have a rendezvous with regret. Their largest achievement is redistributionist gov't. But such gov't is inherently regressive. It tends to distribute power & money to the strong, including itself. Gov't becomes big by having big ambitions for supplanting markets as society's primary allocator of wealth and opportunity, Therefore it becomes a magnet for factions muscular enough, in money or numbers or both, to bend government to their advantage." George Will
