“From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.”
Because in modern political theology the have-nots — let us not say the weak — deserve the fruits of the haves.All property is theft, as Proudhon put it. So the only point to economics is to be the last thief in the string. Cuba has a claim to oil because it needs it. The Muslim rebels in the Philippines deserve whatever they demand because they demand it. Illegal aliens deserve a job in America because politicians will give it to them. In general you have because you can get. There is no linkage between the making and the benefiting. Belmont Club » Inheriting the Earth
