Top professor at Cornell, weekly contributor to the New York Times, it was interesting to see what was in this guys book...

"A worker might well accept a riskier job at a higher wage because doing so would cover the monthly payments on a house in a better school district. But the same observation applies to other workers. And because school quality is an inherently relative concept, when others also trade safety for higher wages, no one will move forward in relative terms. They'll succeed only in bidding up the prices of houses in better school districts."
"Unfortunately, the nasty libertarians bar the path. They profess the astonishing idea that people have the right to spend their money as they wish and that the government has no right to take it from them without their consent. Do they not see that they stand in the way of efficiency? Out with them!"
Let me see, the supposed learned men we should all listen to tells us that hard work and competition are bad, leave society less well off, and should be taxed out of existance.
