AND THEN THERE ARE THE FACTS: Democratic Socialists like Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) claim hiking the minimum wage, bolstering monopoly union powers and other manifestations of ultra-centralized government economic planning are the only way to close the alleged “wealth gap” in this country between the Rich and the Poor.

Hoo, boy, somebody ought to introduce Prayapal and her Democratic Socialists to the facts, as my new column on Substack does today. Thanks to great “factovacacy” groups like Just Facts, there will be many more such columns for your enlightenment and enjoyment.
