Will: Liberals' Rendezvous with Regret

Liberals' "largest achievement is today's redistributionist government," writes George Will. "But such government is inherently regressive: It tends to distribute power and money to the strong, including itself. Government 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."

Rather than producing "social harmony by decreasing antagonisms arising from disparities of wealth," the Left's redistributive policies increase social strife, increase wealth disparity among citizens, and increase governments at the expense of the people--utterly destroying any hope of achieving its stated mission.
