Cass Sunstein: “(P)people make a lot of mistakes, and … those mistakes can prove extremely damaging.”

Thomas Sowell: “Professor Sunstein is undoubtedly correct that ‘people make a lot of mistakes.’ Most of us can look back over our own lives and see many mistakes, including some that were very damaging.

“What Cass Sunstein does not tell us is what sort of creatures, other than people, are going to override our mistaken decisions for us. That is the key flaw in the theory and agenda of the left.

“Implicit in the wide range of efforts on the left to get government to take over more of our decisions for us is the assumption that there is some superior class of people who are either wiser or nobler than
the rest of us.”

(Sowell writes a good column, pointing out decisions by the “superior class of people” during the Depression, of that same class support for communism and fascism. And now, that same class of superior people intends to make cradle to grave decisions for all of us in the mere masses.)
