The Top One Percent Includes You
Posted: October 14, 2011 Filed under: Inequality, Occupy Wall Street, Wealth Leave a comment »“Count yourself as one of the luckiest and most successful humans ever. Celebrate your wealth and ignore politicians who preach the gospel of the haves and the have nots. They try to divide us when in fact what we have in common exceeds our differences. While you’re counting your blessings, take a minute to honor the system that created it: the system of property rights, free markets, low taxes, and the rule of law. And if you want to help people who are in the bottom, then urge your politicians to stop blocking imports from India, Kenya, Peru, Cuba, Bulgaria, and other poor countries around the world. While charity has its place, few of the wealthiest one percent got rich from charity, and neither will today’s poor. We moved from poverty to wealth through economic growth. Let’s allow the rest of the world’s poor to do so also.”
