That the United States has a slightly progressive income tax?

That U.S. patent law is the only thing preventing our economy from devolving into a stagnant poophole?

That 1-2% inflation is perfectly natural phenomenon, and a sign of a growing, healthy economy?

That the CPI actually understates inflation?

That we need the government to provide education because of its positive externalities?

That we need the government to re-allocate private investment because politicians can determine the best investments for the long-term health of the economy?
