Absolutely, well said!
Surely we need to recognise that life on earth is geared to hierarchies and evolutionary winners and that equity of outcome is neither possible or desirable. We need those with competence and drive to be rewarded; in doing so they will generate wealth for themselves and indirectly for us all. The hope is that this can be done with some moral virtue and compassion for those less fortunate.
I have some questions for those on the extreme left;
On which Utopian examples, historic or current, do 'the left' draw their inspiration?
Why are they blind to the horrors of any form of totalitarianism?
What makes them believe that destroying everything will lead to anything other than catastrophe?
Why are they so critical of Western Civilisation and turn blind eyes to the immeasurably worse living standards and human rights elsewhere in the world?

The left thinks those who actually work and earn a living owe them while they sit on their ass and gripe about it.

If we get stuck doing arithmetic, we’ll lose. We’ll always be outflanked by the virtue signaling SJWs. “You’re greedy. You don’t care about the poor. You don’t care that people are dying. You don’t care about educating our youth. You just want to help the 1%. You’re really just racist.”

Limbaugh’s rule: never debate the left on details. Attack the philosophical underpinnings of their arguments.

This is a free market capitalist system. Business is its lifeblood and the engine that drives it. The left can’t see beyond the redistribution of wealth, as though that would fix anything. Before wealth can be redistributed it needs to be generated, and leftist narratives to the contrary, capitalism does not steal wealth, it creates it. If left alone to work it’s magic. Every theory from the left is designed to shut that engine down.

The lie from the left is that they’ll be satisfied with “Just this one thing,” whatever it is. Scary guns, hate speech, toxic masculinity, or billionaires: they don’t really want to go after everyone, only the evil-dangerous-greedy ones.

Nonsense. The left is never satisfied. The battle lines must be drawn at the point where they believe government committees and anonymous bureaucrats have the right, even the obligation, to regulate the daily lives of a free citizenry. The minute you start negotiating on billionaires, or “certain weapons,” or anything identified as hate speech or any details, the battle has already been lost.

I often have wondered if the Democrats/Socialists are not moles for the super rich.

The issue is not to tax the 1% to make everything free for 99%. That’s never gonna work.
Anybody with minor math ability can work that out quickly.

The issue is a fair taxation system where everybody contributes according their means... and using that tax to develop your country and population in general.
That means investing in infrastructure that supports the economy, education that supports jobs, and health care that keep your workers healthy.

Not a health system that keeps everybody alive till one hundred or free education to study useless degrees.

Why is a fair working system not proposed by any politician?
These has been proposed by many at economic conferences and publications.

Yet we are only offered the extreme straw men and nothing changes.

You raise a good point.

Our government does not have an income problem, they have a spending problem. I will never willingly or peacefully part with even a penny more until they cut loose of the millions of dollars of waste as well as the direct spending on the nice to have but not my problem things.

Soros, Rothschild, Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, Pelosi, Clinton and other extremely wealthy “Liberals” probably have no interest in justice, equality nor truth. Don't you think they became wealthy by taking advantage in the inequities in society? What fool thinks their interest in a one world government is in the best interests of the little guy?? Its in THEIR interests alone to promote the greater unfairness of a larger, more unaccountable, more corruptible government and convince you that our founders are outdated and did not actually create the fairest system on the planet for you in the Constitution, because it limits how much they can take advantage of you.
