The idea that politicians are supposed to provide solutions to problems is usually stupid, because politicians are not magicians. They can't do things any better than people who actually create wealth. They don't create wealth, they just redistribute it. We shouldn't think of the state as a very generous uncle who only thinks about us. A very good English translation of an interview with Kristina Votrubova in the publication Postroj.
