Modern historians romanticize the reign of the Tudors in England, but in reality, they were brutal to their subjects and they centralized power to the detriment of the people. Governments today continue this march against freedom.

Regulators with the European Union want people to believe that the “dead hand” of government regulation actually enhances competition. The only thing their actions enhance is more government power.

For all of the talk about Kamala Harris being a socialist, she certainly does not advocate socialism of the kind we have seen under the old USSR or Mao’s China. Instead, her version has characteristics of Italy in the 1920s and the more notorious German version of the 1930s.
