First throw out a false choice of being uber wealthy versus being a gardner, and then conclude with, “I’m going to have to agree with myself on this one.”
Equality is where people receive the value of what they produce, not where everyone is equal. Like it or not, some folks are more productive than others. Are there injustices? Absolutely. Are their crooks? Without a doubt.
Should we adopt a system where the productive are punished, and the unproductive are rewarded? I’ll answer that rhetorically: Should the NFL put weights on players based on how fast they can run a 40 so that everyone is the same?
This thread is amazing. Just when you think socialist ideas have been thrown out for the opiate they are, you get this kind of nonsense. Several bad weeks of news replaces 80 years of economic progress and the fact that freedom and economic prosperity are correlated at all levels of the economic ladder.
You can have your equal sized slice of a small pie. I’ll take my small piece of a big pie.
