Thanks for the link. Posner and Becker exude knowledge and understanding of how societies and economies function. To me, it's strange/sad how as a society we elect politicians that couldn't even understand that blog much less resonate with the ideas in there or (FSM forbid) author that level of scholarship. Instead, we get endless class warfare demagoguery and debates on gay marriage. We pay so much for our government and are so poorly served.
