Truth-tellers who expect others to believe them tend to speak naturally and un-self-consciously. But if they don't expect to be believed, they may try too hard to seem honest. Unfortunately, the result makes them sound less believable. Obviously, then, not every oddly phrased statement is a lie.

Commerce is considered by classical economists to be a positive-sum
game. The act of selling and buying always benefits both the seller
and the buyer. It is unfortunate that popular culture has propagated
the Marxist myth that one person gains in business at the expense of
another, that capitalism is evil because it is a zero-sum game—somebody
wins while someone else loses. When liberals make the argument
that capitalism is the cause of all of our problems, they are either
speaking out of abject ignorance or being totally disingenuous to
protect their interests. We have not had true free-market capitalism
in this country on any wide scale. Where we have had economic
successes in this nation’s history, it has been those times when people
have done something outside of the government’s involvement. Every
time the federal government has been involved, it has created chaos,
waste, and corruption.

Subscribe to your local newspaper. Donate to your public radio and TV stations. If you read 'The New York Times' or 'The Washington Post' or 'The Guardian' or the 'Chicago Tribune' online, subscribe to them. In point of fact, journalistic information is not free. It is dear--in every way. If you complain about fake news but don't pay for real news, you are part of the problem.
