Life is a little more complex

I would like to have a nickel for every time someone on the left has responded with that, when the solution to their "problem" is explained to them and they don't like the answer.

You guys just love "Commanding Heights" Government planning. And can't imagine things working with it.

"Industry, Labor and Government working together for a better world!"

Sounds so good. And has been the basis for most of the mischief perpetrated on us in the 20th Century.

Life is a little more complex than Ayn Rand can depict in a novel

You can't repeal the law of supply and demand, no matter how good it would make you feel if someone were trying to do so.

Yes, the bureaucrat/socialist coalition has had 40 years to increase the complexity and generally muck up the works since she wrote it.

Which is exactly why central planning, even by the most benevolent, clever, intelligent, wise, people imaginable, doesn't work.

And of course in reality politicians are generally not "the most benevolent, clever, intelligent, wise, people imaginable", even in relatively free countries, and esp. not in the countries where central planning is rampant.
