DENNIS GARTMAN: 'God Bless Income Disparity'

We celebrate income disparity and we applaud the growing margins between the bottom 20% of American society and the upper 20% for it is evidence of what has made America a great country. It is the chance...to make something of one’s self; to begin a business and become a millionaire legally and on one’s own that separates the US from most other nations of the world.

"...One very obvious way that Christianity corrects and "cures" pre-Christian religion is in its emphasis on the sanctity and supreme worth of the individual. It cannot be overemphasized the extent to which the emergence of the individual marks an unprecedented and shocking Cosmic Fact -- the most important "fact" in all of creation.

"This is a fact that cannot and will not be denied, for to deny it is to affirm it.

"In other words, the Knower of fact is obviously superior to the fact; either the Knower knows and therefore contains the fact, or vice versa. ...."
