Elizabeth Warren, Class Warfare

"The believer is happy. The doubter is wise. Irish Proverb.

I would like to say, "The believer is violent, the doubter is peaceful." Believers; Christians, Muslims, Neo Cons, Humanitarians, and other zealots will resort to force and violence to see their beliefs fulfilled.

Elizabeth Warren, a senatorial candidate in MA,(and a believer) said that successful people owe to those who are not successful because the successful people used the community property for their success.

“You built a factory out there? Good for you. But I want to be clear: you moved your goods to market on the roads the rest of us paid for; you hired workers the rest of us paid to educate; you were safe in your factory because of police forces and fire forces that the rest of us paid for. You didn’t have to worry that marauding bands would come and seize everything at your factory, and hire someone to protect against this, because of the work the rest of us did.

“Now look, you built a factory and it turned into something terrific, or a great idea? God bless. Keep a big hunk of it. But part of the underlying social contract is you take a hunk of that and pay forward for the next kid who comes along.”

Warren is a believer and she would resort to violence if she had the power to enforce her beliefs. She "believes" it is morally acceptable to use force and violence to do what she "believes" is "fair". Warren and other humanitarians have a disarming smile on their faces as they promise you everything, except individual liberty and freedom to choose.

Suppose there was a city race track and a sponsor offered prize money for the top five percent of winners in a race. Many people would train and enter the race.

Now suppose the top five percent who win the race are told they will have to share some of their prize money with those who did not win. And suppose you told them they would also have to share some of their prize money with those who did not even enter the race. Do you think this is fair, Ms Warren? That is what you, and other social controllers believe.

If no government built the race track then a private entrepreneur would build the track. The same with roads. If a developer wanted to build houses and the government did not build roads to the houses the developer would. I live on a private street. It was not built by the government. It was built by the developer. The road is maintained by the homeowners association. All city streets could be owned by the city residents and maintained by private vendors. The same with county, state, and federal roads.

Ms Warren, many people had the opportunity to pursue success by building a factory and working 70 hours per week and following all the rules made by the government, but those people chose not to pursue success. Why? Because they know people like you will take from the producers and give to the non producers. This legal plunder and centralized planing by government bureaucrats has always hindered the progress of societies. Those societies that allow one to produce and keep what they produce have advanced more than the socialist/centrally planned societies you advocate for.

People who are successful pride themselves on taking risk and managing their own lives. It's immoral for someone who does not take risks, but sits back and watches, to reap the rewards of the risk takers.

The business owner who built a factory and used government roads did not have the opportunity to use private roads. He was forced to use the government roads.

When you punish the producers and reward the non producers, guess which one you will increase.
