The right wing does not celebrate the “unequal distribution of wealth.” Capitalism is a system where those who work, and those who have passion and enginuity succeed. Of course there are going to be different results because people are different. Those that work are the ones that get paid. Wealth is distributed in systems like Socialism and Communism, in a capitalist society, wealth is earned. First of all the left wing and democrat party is the ultimate in hypocracy regarding the economy, the need and want income inequality.
“Today, under George W. Bush, there are two Americas, not one: One America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, and another America that gets the tax breaks.” One America that will do anything to leave it’s children a better life, another America that never has to do a thing because it’s children are already set for life.” – John Edwards 2004
John Edwards gave that speech at the same time he was purchasing 102 acres of land in Orange County, NC. On which he built a mansion, with five bedrooms and six (and a half) baths. It connects to his huge recreation facility called The Barn. This addition features an indoor pool, basketball, squash and handball courts, and a stage. The estate contains more than 28,000 sq ft and cost 1,000,000 more than any other home in the county. Just to twist the knife of irony, it sits across the street from a trailer park.
To quote Glenn Beck
“Let me be completely clear about something: I don’t care about income inequality. I don’t care if some people make a lot more money than other people. In fact, I want that to happen because it motivates people to push themselves harder. It’s a function of capitalism, and I like capitalism. I do care that people are able to meet their basic needs such as food, drink and shelter. If life is a stock market, I’m bearish on starving people to death. I also care about people having every opportunity to succeed financially if they work hard. No one should ever face an uphill battle simply because of race, gender, or anything else other than merit.”
It is not right to punish those who work hard and have the passion to make themselves wealthy. In the phrase “All men are created equal” the emphasis is too much on “equal” when included on that should be “created.” Everyone is created equal, it does not guarantee success.
You have been conditioned by the left wing and the media to view the right wing and rich people as robber barons living off the hard work of other people and doing nothing. Just like you’ve been told the Fox News is a joke, because even CNN, which I believe is probably the closest to the middle, has left wing bias. MSNBC is the most left wing news organization, besides MAYBE the NY Times. And they’re bleeding money like a stuck pig. I wouldn’t be so quick to demonize Fox News along with Hannity and Limbaugh before you look into them a little more. Rush Limbaugh has the highest accuracy rating in talk radio at least, maybe it even extends beyond that. The best numbers I can find place the rating between 96 and 99.6 percent. If Fox News is so terrible, explain to me why Bill O’Reilly has had the number one rated cable news show for 8 years. Also explain how every time progressive talk radio is tried, and allowed to sink or swim in a free market, it fails. Yet Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, O’Reilly, Glenn Beck, and others, prosper? The only way liberal talk stays on the air is when it’s held up by the public. (NPR and PBS)
The democrat party relies on class tension and quite frankly, it relies on people being poor. They need people to stay afraid for their money, and they need people to think that they can’t get rich. Then they continue to say “we’ll take care of you” and perpetuate the nanny state, and their regime. If republicans truly support just the rich, and get their votes from them, wouldn’t they want more people to be rich? And If the democrats get the poor votes, wouldn’t they want people to stay under privileged? Here are some numbers for you. The following compares the American cities with the highest poverty rates, and the percent of time a Republican has been mayor since 1965. (this excludes El Paso, where partisan information was lacking. El Paso county however, is traditionally left leaning and supported John Kerry in 04)
(in formation is laid out as such; City Poverty Rate Time a Rep was mayor since 65)
1.Cleveland, OH 32.4% 38.1%
2.Detroit, MI 31.4% 0%
3.Miami FL 28.3% 31%
4.Atlanta, GA 26.9% 0%
5.Buffalo, NY 26.9% 0%
6.St. Louis, MO 25.4% 0%
7.Cincinnati, OH 25% 19%
8.Milwaukee, WI 24.9% 0%
9.Newark, NJ 24.8% 0%
10.(tie) Philadelphia, PA 24.5% 0%
11.(tie) New Orleans, LA 24.5% 0%
(I apologize for the difficult to read layout, nothing I can do)
Republicans have run the cities with the worst poverty problems only 8% of the time since 1965.
If we may, lets actually examine poverty in America. Here are the numbers;
