"Economic equality in a free society is a mirage that redistributionists envision—and too often are willing to shed both blood and treasure to accomplish. But free people are different people, so it should not come as a surprise that they earn different incomes. Our talents and abilities are not identical. We don’t all work as hard. And even if we all were magically made equal in wealth tonight, we’d be unequal in the morning because some of us would spend it and some of us would save it." To produce economic equality, governments must force people to stop working harder than the next guy, quit coming up with new ideas and taking risks. That is, quit being human. People obsessed with economic equality become envious and covet. For them, society is divided into villains and victims. And when they gain control of government, they don’t just “call the cops, they are the cops.” |
