10. Government Spending-

What the Left believes: Government spending stimulates economic growth. Government spending ending the Great Depression.

The Truth is: Government spending expends capital, usually without any return in sight. The money government spends was taken from the private sector where it would be used to stimulate real economic activity. Every penny the government spends was taken from somewhere else, and the more it takes the additional costs to companies get passed on to the consumer. Capital is best left in the hands of the private sector to ensure growth. Sober economic analysis shows FDR’s big spending policies actually prolonged the Great Depression and the radical decrease in government spending following World War II was actually what rebounded the American economy.

9. Money in Politics-

What the Left believes: Corporations exert control of our economy through Congress by bribing lawmakers with campaign contributions or lobbyist dollars.

The Truth is: It is the excessive regulation and market intervention by the government which creates the conflict of interest to begin with. Without government heavily involved in certain industries, companies would have no incentive to try and influence lawmaking. It’s the fact that government sets rules that will ultimately affect the market that companies become motivated to spend money to influence just what those rules will be and how they’ll be enforced. I explain further in a previous piece I wrote here. The truth is that the Left wing policies that aim to steer the economy are the reason why corporations are able to buy influence. The answer is to limit government influence in the economy, not to limit people’s right to support candidates with their own money.

8. The Gender Wage Gap-

What the Left believes: Sexism creates a business world where women are paid less than men for performing the same jobs.

The Truth is: Depending on which economic study you’re reading, there may or may not be a gender wage gap in America. But the causes of such a gap do not stem from sexism or a male-favored business climate, rather from the individuals decisions women make. It all has to do with personal capital and we chose to invest it. Women often take time and energy to devote towards having children or caring for their families, while men allocate more of their resources towards their careers. When you allot for differences between years on the job, prior experience, and performance, that supposed wage gap nearly disappears.

7. There is Limited Wealth-

What the Left believes: The economy is a finite pie, with limited slices. Someone having too much takes away from what is left. If too few people control too much, it leaves very little for everyone else.

The Truth is: The Limited Pie Fallacy, or Zero-Sum Fallacy, is the belief that the economy is a fixed pie, with only certain amounts of wealth and resources in existence, those who have are directly impacting those that do not. Renowned economist Milton Friedman once said:

“Most economic fallacies derive from the tendency to assume that there is a fixed pie, that one party can gain only at the expense of another.”

Technology, innovation, and capital investment all lead to capital growth. Just ask The Harvard MBA, he’ll you:
“World economics are definitely NOT a zero-sum game. Were that truly the case, you’d still be sitting around your cave with your buddies Thak and Grunt, snacking on beetles and grubs. Clearly, the world economy is larger today than it was 25 years ago.”

6. Effects of Regulation-

What the Left believes: Regulation is government making sure that things are safe, clean, effective, and fair.

The Truth is: While regulation should provide the basic guarantees most Americans want, many don’t realize how excessive and overbearing it has become. Nearly 90,000 new regulations have been enacted in the past 20 years. In a recent poll 72% of small business owners said they felt excessive regulation was hurting them. The is nearly ¾ of small business owners saying the government no longer provides a framework for constructive safe businesses to thrive, as any regulation should do, but rather is constricting and suffocating them. It leads to higher costs which only larger companies can afford, and more complex compliance responsibilities, which only large companies can afford to hire people to oversee such complexities. In the end large companies can afford the regulations, small businesses can’t. The economic effect is startling to consider, especially knowing that the bureaucrats dreaming up these new regulations were never elected and now hold consider power over the US economy.

5. Buying local-

What the Left believes: Buying local keeps money in local economies and encourages more jobs and wealth in your community.

The Truth is: Large companies like Wal-Mart actually support small businesses by carrying their products on their shelves. Tom’s of Maine, for example, was once a small company that know has nationwide recognition due to Wal-Mart’s decision to carry their products. Wal-Mart also provides boosts to local business simply by increasing traffic. Furthermore, it has been proven that buying local doesn’t work, as it doesn’t keep your money local. As far as jobs, big stores and large chains employ more people than small businesses. Big chains like Wal-Mart are good for you and the economy.

4. “Exploitation” of foreign work forces-

What the Left believes: Corporations exploit foreign workforces, employing them in sweatshops and utilizing child labor.

The Truth is: While corporation do employ foreign workforces, including youths, in sweatshops that many Westerners would call deplorable, the fact is that these jobs are very valued in those countries among the poor and if they weren’t available those people would have to turn to crime or prostitution to make ends meet—even the children. It isn’t just hypothetical, it is what happens when sweatshops are closed, children end up turning to prostitution or become destitute and starve to death. Though the wages seem pitiful to Westerners, these sweatshop jobs pay much better than most jobs in the country. These jobs provide economic growth in countries that are struggling and allow for families to earn money without literally having to sell their children.

3. Monopolies-

What the Left Believes: Without government intervention monopolies will rise and give way to customer exploitation. Inferior, overpriced goods and services will become the norm as relatively few hands will control and abuse the economy.

The Truth is: Absent the intervention of government, the emergence of monopolies is very rare. Instead, it is larger companies that wield government regulation, policy, or taxation at their competition. Wal-Mart, for example, is currently supporting the MarketPlace Fairness Act which would impose internet sales taxes on online purchases. Wal-Mart knows the move will hurt smaller online retailers who can’t compete with the retail giant’s prices. Without government intervention, monopolies are very rare. The ones that do arise are ones of public choice. A good example of this would be the NFL. The NFL is the standard for professional football in America. Consumers don’t want another football league. Other leagues are free to try and compete, and they have, but they have failed. But as far as harmful monopolies go, they are almost always a product of government action, this exact opposite of what the Left believes to be true.

2. Minimum Wage-

What the Left believes: Companies will never pay a fair wage. Increased cost of living means higher salaries are needed to get by. Government needs to mandate this or employees will never get fair salaries.

The Truth is: While minimum wage laws attempt to help lower income workers by mandating higher salaries, the actually do more harm than good. The problem is that many jobs don’t produce enough value for the employer to justify the higher wage, so the jobs are just eliminated. Either that or the increase in operating overhead the business incurs gets passed on to the customer in higher prices. So minimum wage laws not only lead to fewer jobs, they make goods more expensive, raising the cost of living and thus having the direct opposite effect as intended.

Another reality is technology is ready to replace many remedial jobs should those jobs suddenly too expensive for companies to justify. Here’s an educational video that breaks down the negative effects of minimum wage laws.

TEN LEFT WING ECONOMIC MISCONCEPTIONS;

1. Subsidization-

What the Left believes: Subsidization is a viable way to encourage desired economic activity. Alternative energies, organic foods, and anything that is good for people should be subsidized.

The Truth is: The subsidization of a product’s or service’s cost by the government is a way to encourage certain activity. However, subsidies have adverse effects. Corn subsidies for example, just one of the many farm subsidies the US government dolls out every year, floods Mexican markets with artificially cheap corn which Mexican farmers cannot compete with. Because US taxpayers are actually paying for part of that corn, the market price is so low it drives Mexican farmers out of business, leading to higher unemployment among Mexican agrarian workers, who then immigrate to the US.

Corn is just one example. But subsidies always end up effecting the market in unintended ways. Mandates, interest rate controls, tax breaks, and loan guarantees are other ways government can subsidize a product or service. Government mandated mortgages were a major cause of the housing market collapse, for example.

When the government subsidizes something it creates artificial demand for a product or service. That artificial demand sends false signals to the market, leading to wasted resources. Here’s a fun video that demonstrates this principle.
