Robin Leach, familiar voice of “Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous,” has joined the chorus of Brits like Daniel Hannan (who spoke repeatedly about the perils of national healthcare) trying to warn Americans about the destructive nature of socialism. He talked with Neil Cavuto on Fox News earlier this week [MRC video via RealClearPolitics]:
 

(If) you remove the monetary supply from the economy and turn it over to politicians and the government to administer, you know that everywhere you turn… government wastes money…
 
Government cannot run anything efficiently. Government breeds corruption and laziness because it is a “we do not care” philosophy. It is rich people and it is private enterprise and it’s small business owners who go out there and bust their humps to make progress in whatever line of work they are doing. It is in our human nature.

 
America would be wise to heed the advice of men like Leach and Hannan… before November at the latest. Having seen the “ugly and evil” results of socialism in the UK they’re speaking from firsthand experience.
“Leveling the playing field” doesn’t work; it’s never worked.
