Geee Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Fox News Presidential candidates and the media keep telling people “it’s immoral” that a few rich peoplehave so much more money than everyone else. They talk as if it doesn’t matter what the rich did to get the money. Instead, the fact that they are rich is itself immoral. Yaron Brook of the Ayn Rand Institute says this is lunacy. “They want to condemn the people that actually have moved civilization forward,” Brook complains. “People who improved the standard of living for everybody on the planet.” JOHN STOSSEL: MUST PARENTAL LEAVE BE DICTATED BY GOVERNMENT? CAN’T WE SAY SOMETHING ISN’T GOVERNMENT’S JOB? Everybody? How is that possible? Isn’t there a certain amount of money in the world, so that when rich people grab a lot there’s less for everyone else? No. Because wealth can be created. But for thousands of years, that barely happened. “We basically made about $2 a day for 100,000 years -- in other words, we could eat what we farmed,” recounts Brook. “Then (250 years ago) something amazing happened.” That “amazing” thing was capitalism.
