Here’s more evidence of liberals high on President Obama’s multi-trillion dollar budget proposal. E. J. Dionne of the Washington Post griping about inequalities:
The central issue in American politics now is whether the country should reverse a three-decade long trend of rising inequality in incomes and wealth.Politicians will say lots of things in the coming weeks, but they should be pushed relentlessly to address the bottom-line question: Do they believe that a fairer distribution of capitalism’s bounty is essential to repairing a sick economy? Everything else is a subsidiary issue.
Dionne and many liberals seem to lack a clear understanding of capitalism. Capitalism works when the individual has the will and opportunities to work hard and accumulate wealth. Everyone can have the same opportunities, but not everyone has the will. Liberals tend to forget this facet and bring in the government as the Great Equalizer. That is socialism, not capitalism.
Capitalism is never fair because there will always be lazy punks who make the wrong decisions and waste their talents. Socialism wants to be fair, but that means taking money from the responsible members of society and feeding it to the lazy punks. No, thanks.
Government, please just stay out of the way. All I want is economic freedom and opportunities to work for my wealth.
