Envy and Greed Will Bring Us Down

Brendan Miniter has written an interesting article worth reading as he points out some specifics in a war we are all going to lose because we are being blind sided. My friend Ross posted this, follow the link in the title bar, to Rossputin.com to read the entire article. Here are a few of the highlights.

“The war on Wal-Mart is really about expanding government.”

{. . .}

“Two weeks ago Mr. Hubbard was at it again, this time introducing a new bill to mandate that companies with at least 1,000 employees spend 4.5% of their payroll on health care or pay the state the difference. Once this piece is in place, Mr. Hubbard told me, the next step will be to create a similar mandate--perhaps 2% or 3%--for companies with fewer than 1,000 employees.”

It's fairly simple, divide the citizens through class envy to tax the greedy rich and then follow that with a smaller tax on the greedy poor; just to make it seem fair, proportionally. The sad thing is that the strategy works, time and time again it has proven to work. This time it’s Wal-Mart, last time it was Microsoft. Those no good rotten rich people have no regard for us little guys; let’s tax them till their noses bleed, that will teach them to be successful. It’s all Wal-Mart’s fault; all they had to do was to unionize, pay for employee’s medical insurance and this could have been avoided. This is nothing more than refusal to take responsibility for individual action in reverse.

The problem with envy and greed is that they serve an eternal purpose, one that takes the human spirit down a road that leads to oblivion. Mr. Hubbard appears to have chosen to work for the Master of Lies; hell, he’s bragging about how it. Wake Up Folks, this isn’t a practice session!
