Eric Cantor expresses the Right's strategy: this economy belongs to Barack Obama.

Our knee-jerk response is wrong.  We want to say, "No, Bush screwed up the economy," or "No, the banks screwed up the economy." 

This reaction is a trap.

Here's the truth.  An economy does not belong to anyone.  An economy is the sum total of people interacting and exchanging. 

To mis-understand that, is to mis-understand a free-market.  So, our reaction ought to be: Eric Cantor does not know what a free-market is. 

Eric Cantor is a symbol for the far Right.  Let's unify in our critique of this movement. 

(1) The Right champions free-markets.
(2) Free-markets are the sum total of people interacting and exchanging.
(3) The Right believes a single person can own a free-market.
Therefore, (4) The Right cannot conceptualize a free-market.
