EQUALITY VERSUS LIBERTY

[Geee]

Human Events:

President Barack Obama says income inequality is “dangerous … the defining challenge of our time.” The pope is upset that capitalism causes inequality. Progressives, facing the failures of Obamacare, are eager to change the subject to America’s “wealth gap.”

 

It’s true that today, the richest 1 percent of Americans own a third of America’s wealth. One percent owns 35 percent!

 

But I say, so what? Progressives in the media claim that the rich get richer at the expense of the poor.

 

But that’s a lie.

 

Hollywood sells the greedy-evil-capitalists-cheat-the-poor message with movies like Martin Scorsese’s new film, “The Wolf of Wall Street,” which portrays stock sellers as sex-crazed criminals. Years before, Oliver Stone’s “Wall Street” created a creepy financier, Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas, who smugly gloated, “It’s a zero-sum game. Somebody wins; somebody loses.”
