>Government produces nothing at all. Nothing.

You've never heard of national oil companies, phone companies, public lotteries. These generate wealth just as private companies do.

>They are fundamentally in error in their observations and thought processes.

Left of centre governments in Canada, US and Britain paid down debts incurred by right wing governments in the 80's. It would appear the right wing is flawed economically.

>Socialism has never worked anywhere it has been tried. Never.

Cast your eyes north, it works here just great. 5 years in a row, Canada has been designated the best country to live in by the UN. Just over 135 years old, and we are one of the 10 biggest economies on earth and one of the richest. Look at Europe, more socialism. Truth is of the G8, socialism is the norm not the exception.

>OTOH, look to Irelend that has recently had a virtual explosion in their economy by lowering taxes and taking the free market approach.

New Zealand had the opposite effect.

>Hmm.. Let's see.. What works?

We are 1 for 1 on this so far (NZ, Ireland)

Both Canada and Britian have left of centre governments at the moment and their economies are doing well. The US has a right of centre and the economy has been slowing.

There is no evidence that rightist/capitalist policies are good for an economy. See above for evidence to the contrary.
