“The subway system wouldn’t exist without the private businesses that were later taken over by city governments,” the editorial board wrote. “These entrepreneurs were more concerned with building a railroad that people would ride than appeasing public-sector union bosses and environmental activists. Once all the infrastructure was built, the government stepped in to manage and operate it, with price-controlled fares starving the system of funding. It remained under city control until 1965, when the state created the bloated Metropolitan Transportation Authority.”

It was not about letting people build better lives for themselves. It was about identifying class enemies — from landlords who took advantage of their tenants to ‘bosses’ who exploited workers — and then crushing them.” “His goal is not to increase wealth but to distribute it to favored groups. The word ‘growth’ did not appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump was mentioned eight times.”
