"Greed of the fossil fuel industry" is "destroying our planet," says Sen. Bernie Sanders (I–Vt.). Young people agree. Their solution? Socialism. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D–N.Y.) says socialism creates "an environment that provides for all people, not just the privileged few." "Nonsense," says Tom Palmer of the Atlas Network in my new video.

Three common claims are that Smith favored progressive taxation, public education, and government regulation of monopoly. Two are entirely, one partly, false. Progressive Taxation Smith's first maxim of taxation, from Wealth of Nations , is that the "subjects of every state ought to contribute towards the suppor
