Apparently Obama has decided to step away from his healthcare disaster and pivot to his other disaster, the US economy. And he wants to save us all by shrinking the income gap.
President Barack Obama says the income gap between America’s rich and poor is a “defining challenge of our time.”
Life isn’t fair, it never has been. In the immortal words of Judge Smails from Caddyshack:
Danny Noonan: I planned to go to law school after I graduated, but it looks like my folks won’t have enough money to put me through college.
Judge Smails: Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
Life isn’t about fair. They didn’t have participation trophies back in my day, being unemployed was frowned upon, being on welfare or food stamps was considered an embarrassment. If you were on some kind of disability, your family and local charities helped out. Now all of these things are a way of life. Why work when you can live fat and happy on the government dole.
Wealth distribution or “income gap equality” as Barry likes to say goes against every principle America was built upon. If you are 30 years old and working at Burger King that is what you have chosen for yourself, if you don’t like the wages, get another job.
