Maybe the poor have figured out they aren't receiving most of what is being doled out. The relatively well off have tax free employer health benefits, tax deductible home interest, and government subsidized college education. The poor are not able to take advantage of most of this. I think it's the middle and upper classes who've been bought off. <br /><br />Whatever it is, I like the conclusion this paper comes to. There's a difference between receiving cash now and building a better economy tomorrow, maybe more people are understanding this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-18622052165969949022010-11-22T17:27:05.186-05:002010-11-22T17:27:05.186-05:00Very Inteesting, professor.

Odd.<br /><br />First, the "founders" of capitalism were not working in an ivory tower, they saw how people behaved naturally. Capitalism and to a large extent classical economics are simply observed behavior. We want what is ours and we want to grow it. Most people are taught not to steal, or beg or take advantage of others. Don't you think Adam Smith saw poor people move to wealth by endeavor? Or rich people lose it all to the bottom of a port bottle?<br />Second, leftism in all its forms is ivory tower academism run amok. It heavily depends on people not knowing what they "really" want and it is based on a collectivist model where it is no longer Tom and Bob but "workers."<br />Third, the term "class warfare" is essentially a give-away as it indicates what the left really wants - a takeover based on as much violence as they need to accomplish the goal. <br />Fourth, perhaps it goes without saying, but the leftist model is a projection onto others. THEY are angry, envious, entitled and acquisitive of other people's property, so they assume everyone else is also and that such "struggle" is normal. Being greedy, acquisitive and downright selfish they simply assume that everyone else is, too and you can appeal successfuly to the lowest common denominator.<br /><br />I hope not. <br />I could be wrong but I don't believe that any capitalist writer or economist used the imagery of violence - "struggle" "Class warfare" "smash" "death to" etc etc etc anywhere near as often as the lefties.Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879069269250337859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-3842923815324575472010-11-22T17:06:38.484-05:002010-11-22T17:06:38.484-05:00I would think that class warfare is mainly the ric...I would think that class warfare is mainly the rich (who can afford to be generous with other peoples money) and poor (who benefit) lined up against the middle (who can't).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
