This article makes me want to kill something.

Literally. I feel like actually killing something right now.

Quote:

Why do liberals hate the rich? Perhaps because liberals were the "smart" but nerdy and socially awkward kids in high school, the ones who aced the SATs but did not excel at sports and rarely got asked to the prom. Some of their "dumber" classmates, meanwhile, went on to make more money, marry better-looking spouses, and have more fun.

Liberals find all this unjust because it rekindles their emotional insecurities from long ago. They do not have the honesty to accept that those with less SAT smarts might have other skills that the marketplace values. Instead, they resent wealth and convince themselves that large financial gains are ill-gotten.

What the hell is this
I don't
How the hell is this guy even representing a major interest group and sprouting out that bullshit
It sounds like a political theory a twelve year old makes up after drinking copious amounts of alcohol for the very first time

Oh yes. Getting SAT scores and the ability to ruthlessly step on other people for your own gain. Those are mutually exclusive skills. Those are the only skills.

I like his Solution to All of America's Problems. It's adorable. If the poor will just have the proper respect for their betters there will magically be enough resources for everyone who matters.

I'm very surprised that he's in the Cato Institute...

That article is drivel.

Cheering death.

Yeah THAT one is the kind of thing that ends up getting a bit more coverage and looking really bad. I don't expect a retraction but I expect a bit of backpedaling at future events. Nobody will hold their feet to the fire for it, anyways.

I feel it appropriate to point out that in that same debate when Huntsman mentioned bringing the troops home from Afghanistan, there was minimal applause.

Old tired talking point that was adopted by Democrats.

Oh by the by the Cato institute is a known right-wing noise factory. Pay them little heed because their bias is right there on the sleeve.

Ron Paul is invisible
