"You see... this is the problem with you people... you failed to take enough Economics classes and thus develop opinions like this that are simply false."

I know University of Chicago econ people. I'm married to a libertarian who literally used to teach price theory. I'm unsure he'd recognize your economic opinions (for example, on "productivity") as free-market, either.

The free market and the prosperity gospel aren't the same thing. While it's common for American political rhetoric to invoke the spirit of Joel Osteen when it thinks it's invoking the spirit of Milton Friedman, that doesn't mean it's right.
