Message: From GoLocalProv by Travis Rowley, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: “The most important change which extensive government control produces is a psychological change, an alteration in the character of the people.” – F.A. Hayek, The Road To Serfdom (1944) Adding to Ted Nesi’s WPRI story that reported that Rhode Island’s “civilian population ages 25-54 plunged by 46,000 between 2006 and 2012,” the Projo’s Ed Achorn decided to inform his readers this week of a political strategy known as the “Curley Effect.” The aim of the scheme named after former Boston Mayor James Curley is to “[increase] the relative size of one’s political base through distortionary, wealth-reducing policies.” According to Harvard professors, Mayor Curley “deliberately enacted policies that drove the middle class out of Boston to make it easier for him to win elections with votes from the poorly educated people left behind.” http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/travis-rowley-ignorance-democrats-best-friend
