Liberals have big hearts to make up for what they lack in brains. Perhaps it isn't fair of me to say this--I know there are plenty of smart liberals out there with degrees in studies other than Ancient Dance Rituals as a Prelude to Coitus, but it seems that even those liberals have a somewhat simple-minded way of looking at life. Let me 'splain.
Take Obama (please). He talks a good game about income inequality, as if the concept of some people making more money than you is unfair, (just because they work harder and can accomplish more), but it seems to me that income opportunity is more realistic than income inequality. There will always be people better at doing things than other people, and in order to retain them, employers will pay them more. That's the free market.
Imagine if all baseball players had income equality. Why should they try to excel? You'd see more bunting to save energy, bases on balls thrown by pitchers who were not going to exert themselves, and fewer spectators. There would be no incentive to excel. The game would be about as exciting as watching cheese mold. Think about it, Mr. Obama.
