That assumption has long ago been proved false by social economists.
The assumption that people are rational and act in their best
interests is demonstrably false.

People can be expected to act irrationally - and with knowledge you
can predict when and how and take advantage of it - producing the
"free lunch".
These new emerging findings are blowing common economic thought out of
the water. People are not rational and do not pursue their best
interests. They can be and are manipulated against their own economic
interests.
After 12 years of Obama this country will be so dumbed down they'll
think that **** is ice cream. Free health care will be no health
care.
All deviant behavior will be the norm by definition.
You wanted change? You got it. Enjoy yourself.
