When are smart people going to stop falling for central planning? How can a person believe that any central power can accurately plan for more than a few others?

In any economy, millions of individual buy/sell decisions affect the system. One central committee will never be able to mimic that complexity and then accurately plan for it.

PS to the OP. I wouldn't say it's high taxes that are hurting jobs as much as it is stifling regulations. Our system is basically a 200 year-old Windows computer that has had its kernel and registries tweaked and changed so much that the machine is slow and a pain to use. Not to mention the malware (think lobbyists)...

If we could re-boot from source in the US and just end most regulations jobs would come back more quickly than any other scheme. Or perhaps we just need a new OS.
