Venezuela must be really moral then. Everyone there is just about a billionaire or will be, if they keep devaluing their money.

As I've long said, the basic difference between Democrats & Republicans on economic issues can best be summarized this way:

If the entire USA was to instantly become 10% richer (as compared to the rest of the world), such that each US citizen had 10% more money to spend, Republicans would say: "That's great! Everyone is wealthier!" But Democrats would say: "What a DISASTER, because the gap between the richest & poorest just increased by 10%!"

Something about crucifying a man on a cross of gold. Bryan got his comeuppance at the Scopes Trial.

My favorite line from the trial...

Judge: I hope you are not impugning the honor of this court.
Darrow: His honor is entitled to hope.

“rent-seeking”

I hate that term. It’s a misuse of the word rent and is confusing and offensive.

What it’s supposed to mean is “favor-seeking” , the other side of influence peddling.

It’s like so many other pseudo intellectual terms, like quantitative easing (money printing), affirmative action (quotas), etc. meant to obfuscate and bamboozle the people.

Classicide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of a social class through persecution and violence.[1][2] The term “classicide” was termed by sociologist Michael Mann as a term that is similar but distinct from the term genocide. Examples includes Joseph Stalin’s mass killing of the affluent middle-class peasant Kulaks who were identified as “class enemies” by the Soviet Union. Similar classicide has been committed by China during the Great Leap Forward, by North Vietnam as part of the Land Reform, and by the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia.

“BB in a boxcar.”
= = =

Last millenium, during Christmas break, a friend and I loaded a boxcar with boxes of apples.

Man was that thing empty at the start.

Bye and bye we got it full.

More people benefit from billionaires creating wealth (USA) than communists stealing wealth (former USSR, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, etc.).

[Aren’t her 5 minutes of fame up yet?]

I think it’s just getting started.

The Democrats love fools and idiots. It’s necessary for them to have power.

Now one of the fools and idiots (beyond the usual) has the stage and she’s happy to make a fool out of herself.

This will wake some people up to what the Democrats have become. Not most, but perhaps enough.

I don’t always get my definitions of morality from bug-eyed barkeeps, but when I do, I turn to Alexandrogeny Headcase-Courtesan.

If I run errands at lunch, sometimes I will hear a few minutes of Rush. Walked across the street to the cafe for veggies, so I did not hear him today. But that is not a hard connection to make for anyone with a little bit of historical awareness.

The radical left has been working overtime lately exposing their stupidity for all to see. Unfortunately, nearly all of the MSM is numbered with the terminally stupid, else these moron leftists would be quickly slapped into silence by a competent, independent media. Ironically, the idiot compliant MSM might end up being a blessing in disguise before too long. Most of the public may eventually catch on as the MSM amplifies the brain-dead, inconsistent assertions and positions of the radical left. To those with just a tiny bit of common sense, it has truly been a farcical show the last couple of years.
