Canada Free Press ^ | 10/26/14 | Alan Joel

Thomas Perez was Obama’s Labor Secretary pick 15 months ago, and he’s emerging as top contender for Attorney General as well. Is it any wonder that he gave a major speech at the National Press Club this week to share his vision of America? Entitled, “Calling for an Economy That Works for Everyone”, Perez discusses the concept of “shared prosperity”.

How many times did he use that phrasing? Try 20 times. These phrases were bold in the speech:

It’s a toss between “socialism” and “theft”.

Shared Prosperity == Redistribution

Marxist bunk - “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
I do not work and save to support indolence and envy.

“Calling for an Economy That Works for Everyone”

...

An economy dominated by the government never works for everyone.

There are two types of rich: those who made their money by being innovative and working their butts off and those who made their money through political connections and crony capitalism.

I’m all for protecting the first type and soaking the second type into bankruptcy.

Democraps and RINOs are clearly for the opposite.

Guess which group this POS belongs to? /rhetorical

Mr. Perez should immediately trade/switch his salary with the person, who works in his office building, that makes the least amount of money.

Shared prosperity is directly in proportion to the amount of shared productivity. It’s nature’s law. It can be broken for a short time but it will always revert. When it does it will exact a heavy price.
