He is such a grub, but a perfect miniature of the kind of people who represent the left in politics. Dishonest, smug and elitist. Just leave everything to the experts and the less we hear from you the better things will go. Yet his description almost perfectly fits my own belief about the typical voter for parties of the left who, just as he says, can be exploited because of their lack of economic understanding, and indeed because of their lack of understanding of much else besides. The quote comes at 3:29 in the clip. I wonder how clever he thinks of himself right now. We pulled it over on you rubes, didn’t we?
Jonathan Gruber once again: “It’s a very clever basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter”
