The word and concept of, "equality" is the basis of almost all Leftist campaigns. It sounds innocuous, but it is evil and undermines everything that made American great.
Take two people, one of whom is a lazy dullard, substance abuser, who has never had a responsible job in his life; the other is someone who put himself through college and grad school, and makes mid-6 figures as an investment banker.
They are - we are told - illustrative of America's "problem" of "inequality."
The fact that they are "unequal" is, we are to believe, proof of some evil, some inequity, some unfairness, and furthermore, that it is Government's job to "rectify" that inequality.
And yet there is no injustice in their relative income or wealth. Indeed, it is entirely "just" that the slacker should have little income and no assets, and it is "just" that the one who worked his ass off - and continues to work his ass off - has income and wealth.
Anyone claiming otherwise should have the burden of proof, right?
Demonstrate that the successful person has become successful by exploiting or illegally taking something from someone else. Demonstrate that the lazy dullard has been oppressed by forces outside his control. Who kept him from graduating from high school? Who prevented him from joining the military service, or enrolling in a vocational training program, or going to work every day determined to make a success of himself (as many do)?
But HRC and Bernie don't want to have to prove injustice; they demand that we recognize the injustice of the INEQUALITY itself!
Bull shit.
