“THERE is an ongoing debate in this country about the rich: who they are, what their social role may be, whether they are good or bad.
. . . .
MOST important, neither entrepreneurs nor the rich have a monopoly on brains, sweat or risk. There are scientists — and artists and scholars — who are just as smart as any entrepreneur, only they are interested in different rewards. A single mother holding down a job and putting herself through community college works just as hard as any hedge fund manager. A person who takes out a mortgage — or a student loan, or who conceives a child — on the strength of a job she knows she could lose at any moment (thanks, perhaps, to one of those job creators) assumes as much risk as someone who starts a business.” (More of this crap)
In other words, you don’t want consumers choosing what they like. Consumers are too stupid to appreciate the contribution of many people, especially Humanities scholars.
Therefore, we need guns and batons and prisons to take money away from the people consumers choose and give it to people chosen by a benevolent panel of appointed experts.
There’s plenty wealth to criticize. It’s the wealth gathers with help from government violence. But this socialist reproach against all wealth is not only wrong, it is downright dangerous.
God help us if this Marxist crap becomes the norm.
It was said, “God help us if this Marxist crap becomes the norm.”
The problem is that foot soldiers are needed to tell the American people about what is happening. So when the able go off to make their fortunes and names elsewhere, only us old guys are left.
The energy and courage of youth is needed to fight this fight.
We have a few months left to fight this battle for freedom…. This is a fight that cannot be left to mercenaries… it has to be fought by believers… it has to be fought on home turf…
