Well said.

So many on the left act as if Democracy is a precious commodity. The reality is that every increase in any human being's freedom improves the lives of every other human being ever so slightly. Mass increases in freedom like what we brought to Iraq massively help humanity.

Freedom is kind of like deposits at a bank. the reserve ratio allows banks to leverage the money into multiples for lending. Freedom precedes prosperity. It has a multiplicative effect.

>Democracy isn't about instant wealth. It's about Freedom. Freedom and democratic accountability does raise all boats, but nothing happens over night.

But the fact that they vote doesn't even make them free!
