Free Voters’ Tyranny? Senator Tower says that the liberal “sometimes appears to border on contempt for the ability of people in a society to regulate themselves.” Is it unsporting to suggest that perhaps liberals are offering people a new way to regulate themselves? Maybe for the first time in history those who lack the economic resources to influence their physical environment have found that this influence may be exercised by a government on their behalf as they dictate through the polls in free and democratic elections. The conservative should well fear the federal government, for the so-called “little man” has learned to make his voice heard in the national government. Perhaps the most damaging of the senator’s errors is his assumption that a market regulated economy exists in the United States at present, or at least existed until very recently. \(May we assume that he implies the existence of such immediately prior to the establishment of in the automobile industry?
