"For the modern Left, the state is the conduit through which wealth is accumulated, by expropriating capital created in a marketplace and funnelling it back towards itself."
Reading your comment about the lyrics '...it's a competitive world' , pushed me, as most music quotes and comments do, down the proverbial rabbit hole. I remembered the lyrics, great eighties music by Depeche Mode. This got me to their more recent offering: "Where's the Revolution", which lyrics would also compliment your article:

So it would seem. Great job, Tom.

"You've been pissed on
For too long
Your rights abused
Your views refused
They manipulate and threaten
With terror as a weapon
Scare you till you're stupefied
Wear you down until you're on their side"
Thanks Tony - that song was a great one too, the music video as bleak as what we're facing now!
