But Liberal Larry...
I will decide what is "noblesse oblige". After all, I am morally superior to you.
So you want to redistribute the wealth of athletes to other athletes? I would love to see that happen, just to poke a finger in your chest when the entire sports economy collapses.
Because of these non-sensenical, short sighted, self-absorbed, elitist conceptions of how an economy should ne run, we have $2 trillion dollars in federal spending where a good 2/3's of it goes from one group from another. This is not enough for you! And here is the real news; this will never be enough.
The liberals and their leftists leaders have a truly lopsided sense of guilt. They want to correct the so-called ills of our economy by redistribution because of this mis-placed guilt. But, when these programs are clearly demonstrated as being failures, there is no guilt to be found by the liberals. No shame is about them then.
For the rest; HAPPY HOLIDAYS! We can get back to the ideas, insults, wars, etc. after the 6th.
Have a great time, drive safe, don't have any liberal ideas.
I have no objection to conservative contentions that there's too much redistribution, that it's poorly supervised, ill-spent, etc. Only to the ideologue's idea that none is justified. In fact there has to be some balance or all the evil things that you contend have happened will actually happen.
I agree with you that the sports economy would probably collapse with redistribution. People only want to see the very best. But the entire economy would collapse without redistribution...because too many people would have no money to spend on anything but bare survival...and because in your face poverty breeds real anger.
Guilt and so on. Give it a rest...at least for the Holiday season.
Let me tell you something. So-called "liberalism" has decimated communities like the one I grew up in, all over this country.
It has conned generations into thinking there is no existence outside of the state.
At any rate, if what has been done in the name of "liberalism" were conducted by a foreign nation, it would be tantamount to an act of war. Your "ideas" should stay away from me. Period.
Happy Holidays.
