About this Event
Matthew's presentation will consist of a historical examination of where socialism has been tried particularly over the last 100 years but will include the experience of the Pilgrims when they arrived in Massachusetts in 1620. He will also explore countries that have recently lived under socialism, their taxation levels and their economic growth rates. He will also will contrast their level of taxation, economic growth and poverty rates with countries that are more capitalist including their bond ratings. Matthews will use government statistics along with data from the United Nations.
There will be a Q & A session after the talk.
