There’s nothing leftists love more than stirring up animosity.
Those in the news business literally make a living out of it.
Now a top network anchor is using jealousy to push socialism – with a dangerous new twist.
CBS’s Janey Pauley and Mark Whitaker are doing their level best to whip up popular support for socialism with an attack on the “top 1%.”
It’s about the oldest trick in the book for leftists to convince the masses to give them power.
Of course, once they’re in charge everyone ends up poor.
In the piece, Whitaker interviewed a professor of “philosophy and ethics” at Utrecht University in the Netherlands.
Ingrid Robeyns is the proud creator of a concept called “limitarianism” – which is nothing less than Communism 2.0 in camouflage.
It is, according to Robeyns, the idea that there’s a “moral limit to how much wealth you can accumulate.”
Severe famine, death, and deprivation due to chronic supply chain issues in communist governments has tarnished communism’s image.
But hope springs anew on college campuses forevermore along with the push to find utopia by destroying the most successful people in the world.
So, Robeyns has come up with a way to pitch the “duty not to be rich” in a way more palatable than dredging up old images of dying peasants who were promised prosperity by their communist overlords.
Instead, she’s pitching some sort of property-owning democracy where billionaires will be outlawed.
In fact, she suggests capping wealth at $10 million to $20 million in the United States.
The exact number doesn’t matter as long as it’s high enough most people won’t complain until precedent has been established to give leftist control over a small portion of the population on their journey to control all of us.
In fact, Robeyns’ “limitarianism” sounds an awful lot like China’s recent recommitment to communism as officials announced last summer the plan to regulate “excessive” wealth in the country where communist bosses have been reasserting themselves over the lives of all their citizens.
No doubt, America’s 3,000 billionaires who increased their wealth by $5 trillion last year had plenty of help from leftist politicians who printed money, manipulated markets, and sold drugs for Big Pharma like it was their job.
But giving government regulators more power won’t help Americans at the bottom of the ladder.
And deciding that some people are “too rich” won’t put money into Americans’ pockets like a good job will.
No doubt, it would create a whole new class of powerful ruling politicians who would get to pick winners and losers in the wealth game.
