‘You didn’t get there on your own.’

The Right is overreacting to this and missing a key point:

Yeah, you didn’t get there on your own. You made CONTRACTS to HIRE people and PAID them FAIRLY for their services. Everyone involved has been duly compensated for their part in getting you ‘there’. Insofar as any advantage may have been taken, it’s paltry compared to confiscating rightfully owned & earned wealth from individuals and giving it to the completely undeserving.

My favorite Leftist complains about companies making their money off infrastructure (roads, power, etc). I have to remind him that those services were paid for (gas taxes, electric bills, etc.) as taxed & contracted.

Just because someone can create a whole greater than the sum of its parts doesn’t mean the creators of those parts are owed more than they sold those parts for. EVERYONE’s profit comes from leveraging the parts to create a more valuable whole.

"The Right is overreacting to this and missing a key point:"

Wrong! The right is undereacting. And yes, we listened to every word the communist said. He along with his other memes, has declared war on America. He has initiated class warfare as was taught to us in 60's/70's.

Its pure Marxism. Every breath of it.

Yes one pays for services of others and all that But WHO took the risks?

Decisions have consequences! Risk vs Reward!

What we have here once again is mass failure of common sense!

Your analysis is spot on and well said.
