Fairness? Yea, Right

The cat is out of the bag. Talking recently with a couple of rabid Obama supporters, infected with the mutation of the disease from Bush Derangement Syndrome to Obama Adoration Syndrome, I comprehend now exactly what the Left means when they talk about fairness. It’s not about fairness. It’s about redistribution, with a vast majority of the redistribution going to benefit the standard of living of those with a college education who are not large income recipients. That would include those in the education industry and those working for non-profits and foundations.

People that work in these industries tend to be people that don’t want to deal with the cut throat competition and back stabbing, and 12 hour work days that you must submit to, in order to climb successfully the corporate ladder. Being in love with themselves however, they feel that because they have a college education, many have post-graduate degrees, that they should be compensated accordingly, no matter what choices they made careerwise. It burns them up to no end when they see a high school drop out who owns two or three McDonald’s franchises, making several million dollars per year, when they have a PhD and only make $75,000 per year. In their minds, that is what’s wrong with the Capitalist system. It rewards those that take risks and are willing to put in the necessary hours. They are not. In their minds, the time they spent in school is sufficient to guarantee them a nice cushy, self-fulfilling, upper middle class lifestyle with a minimal amount of work. This is why they push for a command and control economy. Those with the right education credentials will be compensated accordingly, and those without will be put in, and kept in their place where they belong.

Here's an example. You have a college degreed lower end professional in Montgomery County, Maryland, living in a rental unit or a condo, because they can’t afford a single family home, while over in Prince George’s County, Maryland, you have an uneducated redneck tradesman owning his own single family home. This burns Liberals up to no end. That’s not fair. Now to add fuel to the fire, that redneck owns a van and a pickup truck, both of which Liberals hate. The Left can not stand anything that identifies with the working class...especially the WHITE working class.Things need to change, and Obama is the one that is going to make that happen. There will be redistribution of income from the successful uneducated to the unsuccessful educated, with a crumb thrown to the ghetto minorities, who were the pawns on the Left’s chessboard, and were the grease on the skids that helped elect our first true Anti-American, global citizen, Marxist president.

The other part of the jealousy factor is those at the lower end of the professional class are envious of those at the high end. Those at the top of government employment making an average of $150,000 per year or more. Then you have your extended government. You have those with the law degrees that practice regulatory law, those that work in the lobbying "industry," and all others that benefit directly, or handsomely indirectly in the "rackets" that benefit from the expansion of government and the ensuing contracts. It’s extremely profitable to be a Liberal Democrat as long as the government keeps expanding. So you have a racket that benefits from redistribution: the minority poor, the degreed lower middle class in the information and education rackets, public sector union paper pushers, and those with professional credentials that are connected to policy and contracts with government.

Here’s the problem for these folks. The little people are now awake, and they are not going to buy it. The little people like myself see through the smoke. We are not going to let ourselves be led into slavery on the Left’s plantation. The educated Left knows this, and they are scared to death. They need to be. We’ve had enough. We are sick of the rhetoric. We are sick of the condescension. We are sick of the perceived victim hood of the therapy attending left, when all they have to do is grow up. We are sick and tired of paying for programs that have accomplished little and continue to escalate in cost. Payback time is coming. It’s going to be fun to watch. I can’t wait.
