There Is Nothing Inherently Fair About Equalizing

Yes, Free Markets Tend To Produce Unequal Incomes. We Should Not Be Ashamed Of That. On The Contrary, Our System Is The Envy Of The World And Should Be A Source Of Pride.

The System That Enables The Most People To Earn The Most Success Is Free Enterprise, By Matching Up People's Skills, Interests, And Abilities. In Contrast, Redistribution Simply Spreads Money Around. Even Worse, It Attenuates The Ability To Earn Success By Perverting Economic Incentives.

The Truth Is That Relative Income Is Not Directly Related To Happiness. Nonpartisan Social-survey Data Clearly Show That The Big Driver Of Happiness Is Earned Success: A Person's Belief That He Has Created Value In His Life Or The Life Of Others.

As A Political Independent, I Would Gladly Vote For Any Political Party Dedicated To Limited Government And Entrepreneurship.

There Is Nothing Inherently Fair About Equalizing Incomes. If The Government Penalizes You For Working Harder Than Somebody Else, That Is Unfair. If You Save Your Money But Retire With The Same Pension As A Free-spending Neighbor, That Is Also Unfair.
