Many today, especially those in need, have subscribed to liberal tenants that insist you can reconcile needs by taxing business, or the wealthy. What is overlooked is the reality that the cost we subject business to must be born by the consumer.
In addition, and more important, is that the envy of the wealthy has created a movement that disregards reality, altogether. The wealthy did not "extort" their fortune. A willing public decided they wanted the goods or services provided.
At a time when all are finding our condition challenging, it would do us well to consider the clear thinking offered by Milt Friedman.

Unlike politicians that pander for votes, he correctly acknowledges the reality that many overlook. If we would simply accept reality, and refuse to allow legislators to craft legislation that prevents our healing, we could recover.
I was really hoping, by now, someone would have posted a comment on the Friedman clip, that Bottom Line included with this blog post.
Best line I HATE hearing libs say that the wealthy made others poor on their way up. I don't go go poor ever time I step into the store.
Unfortunate that so many believe you can manipulate that reality through legislation without causing the disadvantaged to be in a submissive position. Liberals continue to suggest they understand economics while there only offering is to reduce those that are earning to supplicate those in need.
