You don’t have to apologize for being stupid. Vote for Romney and see how much things really change

Sorry Enrique but you are wrong. The rule of alw and freedom are very important economic issues. The US has fallen in the economic freedom rankings from its normal top 5 position to 18th under the Obama regime. People are not making investments or hiring exactly because the Regmie ignores the Constitution and Congress and rules by executive fiat. We’re paying the price economically for that.

I suspect that this idea may predate Acemoglu and Robinson.

Frankly, Romney’s speech is not really all that impressive — vague references to “rule of law” and “free enterprise” (or “institutions” for that matter) aren’t very helpful
