His position was that those who acquire wealth have different tools, educations and desires than most other folks.
Looking at the trillions we have spent in the war on poverty with no apparent return or improvement for the very poor, I'd say that's correct.
There’s lots of poor who’ve changed their lives for the better by hard work. The government can’t do it for them.
I have no problem with “reality” as depicted in the video. Yea, I know - I’m supposed to be outraged at the “inequity” but inequity IS reality. Radical Egalitarianism is the quest of the left and IT is what stands in stark contrast to reality.
Any (and every) proposal I’ve ever seen that tries to address income inequity involves redistribution of wealth - the state taking from one in order to enrich others. It doesn’t matter to me that I represent one of the little blips in that video narrative - in principle I am opposed to stealing from another regardless of the so-called nobility of motive.
If you’ve ever argued with a leftist you’ve no doubt noticed that they always point out the exception in order to disprove the rule. If I say that the best way to address income disparity is to create a climate conducive to poor folks making more money they will reply that there are some who can’t mare more money no matter what. If I say “the world needs ditch-diggers” they respond with, “What if they’re in a wheelchair?” The only viable choice for them is to use the power of the state to seize wealth from some in order to give to others. Anything else is “too hard” (said in my best Bart Simpson voice).
The attorney for the athlete then let on that his client had spent every last cent he had made for the two or three years he had been playing. The atty. also explained that's the case for many pro athletes who come into big money at an early age. They spend every last cent in a very short time and save little or nothing. No thought for the future at all.
The fact is some will work for money and others will not.
If we split all of the money evenly of course many of the rich would return to being rich in a short time. Other who inherited their riches like Paris Hilton would merely become whores who charge instead of giving it away.
But the fact is that hard work and good moves is what makes the rich wealthy .
We must have worked for the same guy. I think similarly.
That man was exactly right. I’ve been telling libs the same thing for years.
The ‘rich’ and the ‘poor’ are both in their positions because of the same reason. They both keep doing what is necessary to maintain their position................
