I simply cringe every time I see a proposal concerning how someone else’s wealth is to be divied up. I see no positives to that way of thinking. Sorry, I just don’t.

When will people stop drooling over what others earn and get out and earn some for themselves. Wealth envy is a serious sickness that weakens the individual as well as the country. Envy works to the advantage of the Progressives. It creates the demon to be despised then overthrown with the result that all are miserable in their equality except the leaders, who will live in style and comfort.

ASK THE RUSSKIES HOW THEIR REVOLUTION WORKED OUT FOR 90% OF THEM! Of course 25,000,000 cannot answer, they are dead and buried.

Same here. Sadly, that way of thinking is increasingly popular. It's no less idiotic. The "rich" can only do three things with their money: 1) Put it in the bank (good, they'll have more to loan). 2) Spend it. (good, they'll purchase goods and services that keep people working). 3) Expand a business with it (good, more jobs).

The idea that someone having a lot of money is a problem is absurd. And it's rooted in the foolish liberal idea that there's only so much money, that the "rich" took too much of it and that's not fair. Total nonsense.
