Centuries of failure of the collectivist ideologies beg the question of why its purveyors would think of themselves as more intelligent than anyone else.
“If socialists understood economics they wouldn’t be socialists.” ― Friedrich Hayek
Two recent news articles on the ongoing failure of the Socialist ideologies should call into question the intelligence of those who want to forcibly impose ideas that harken back more than 500 years. The first was on the ongoing saga of Seattle’s soda tax from Twitchy:
SERIOUSLY!? City of Seattle’s response to reports about new soda tax proves prog pols FAILED Econ-101
City officials are trying to dispel reports like the one above indicating the tax will actually increase the price of certain drinks. Why? Because they don’t intend for that to be the case: “The tax is collected on the final distribution of sweetened beverages by a distributor. The tax is not collected by the retailer nor is the tax burden intended to fall onto the consumer.”–Seattle’s response to complaints about the sudden increase in prices for sugary drinks — Joseph Bishop-Henchman (@jbhenchman) January 5, 2018
“The tax is collected on the final distribution of sweetened beverages by a distributor. The tax is not collected by the retailer nor is the tax burden intended to fall onto the consumer.”–Seattle’s response to complaints about the sudden increase in prices for sugary drinks
One can only assume that the people of the collectivist mindset have convinced themselves of their superior intelligence because of their superior intelligence and the rest of the great unwashed are beneath them on the I.Q. scale. Hence the reason they make statements such as this:
The sweetened beverage tax is a tax on the distribution of sweetened beverages in the city of Seattle. The tax is collected on the final distribution of sweetened beverages by a distributor. The tax is not collected by the retailer nor is the tax burden intended to fall onto the consumer.
It would seem as though the Socialist mindset is that there is this vast pool of money being hoarded by the rich. With just the right kind of taxation scheme will serving to tap into that vast wellspring of cash to the betterment of all (and more specifically to them because they were so magnanimous hand it out to everyone else).
The second article once again illustrated the non-functionality of the collectivist ideals. In case that was all too predicable from those with a modicum of common sense. From the Daily Mail:
St Louis ‘pay-what-you-want’ cafe is forced to close down
A Panera Bread Company restaurant in the St. Louis area where patrons for eight years had the option of paying as much or little as they wanted for a meal is closing its doors.
Panera founder and Executive Chairman Ron Shaich told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that the St. Louis Bread Co. Cares Community Cafe in Clayton, Missouri, is imminently due to close because it was on a month-to-month lease and the store would have required a big investment.

Perhaps the Left should try to come up with a workable ideology to replace it’s failed socialist national agenda. That would at least show everyone that they have what it takes in the cerebral cortex. For those who want some further lessons in why the nation’s socialist left has to up their game in the I.Q. department, there is this short video also from Louder with Crowder: Why “Democratic” Socialism Doesn’t Work

The Leftists think they are more intelligent because when they were in school and added 2+2 and said the answer was 5(LOL)They were giving a Trophy for trying and not told that the answer was wrong!!
I find that those of average IQ or lower aren’t capable of recognizing those of higher IQ.
