Labour adviser: "You can't trust people to spend their own money sensibly"





This comment by John McTernan may be a "gaffe" in the sense of a politico accidentally saying what he actually thinks but it is also very revealing.

This is an perfect summary of what is wrong with the socialist mindset.
