“but he just clings to the misguided notion of “fair”, offering no more than vapid insults and platitudes, convinced the system isn’t “fair” but unwilling or unable to offer anything more specific.”
With the Marxist LIberals, it’s really all about avarice. Most of them are not wealthy and either don’t want to do the work necessary to acquire wealth or are not smart enough to pull it off. So for them it’s “penis envy.” They are upset that someone has made it and they have not, and they therefore have decided that the best way to get it is through “wealth redistribution.” Bottom line, they are lazy!
This guy isn’t lazy. I can, however, believe that he - and most Leftists - simply cannot conceive of one person’s productivity value being orders of magnitude greater than another’s. Ergo, such conclude that significant wealth must be the result of unfair advantage (criminal, corrupt, or loophole), which justifies society rectifying the situation.
Once you understand the axioms, the conclusions make sense in context. Wrong axioms and conclusions, however, remain wrong.
