15. Examples of "Neo-Liberals"?
Anyone who believes there is a Giant Invisible Hand that magically reaches down from a holy throne and "corrects" markets when they are bad.
Its not really "Economics", but more of a Theology masquerading as Economics.
NeoLiberalism requires one to accept on blind faith the existence of an invisible deity (Invisible Hand) despite 30 years of PROOF to the contrary.

You will hear them say things like "Free Trade is good for the American Working Class!"

MOST of the Democratic Party Leadership ARE "NeoLiberals," including President Obama and former President Bill Clinton.

Bulletin:
There is no such thing as "Free Trade".
There is no such thing as a "Free Market".
There is NO Giant Invisible Hand.
The RICH made that shit up, and used smooth talking politicians to sell it to a gullible America.

If you Work for a Living do NOT trust ANY politician, Democrat or Republican, who espouses a belief in the "Invisible Hand", "Free Markets", or "Free Trade".
That politician is NOT your friend!

I prefer to call them Nero-Liberals,
because they are truly fiddling while the American Working Class dies a slow painful death.
