Michael Bettencourt's essay, "Why Conservatives Should Fear the Market," is painfully insightful and true. It points up the dirty little secret of the past 30 years: that so-called "Reagan conservatives," with their devotion to "trickle-down economics," are in fact as fanatically revolutionary as any Leninite. And, as it turns out, their dogma has been just about as beneficial to the common folk as Bolshevism. Our current state of growing poverty, unemployment and community dislocation is, in its own way, a Gulag.
