The triumph of big government
I am an optimist and I truly believe that the good old times were not good and that we have amazing opportunities if we live in the free world.
However I noticed that these days the young vote left. There is no more soviet Union to visit, we don't watch people risk their lives to escape Communist Germany etc... People think it's a good idea to let government run things. Everybody wants more social, more taxes and more government. BIG Government triumphed in Europe and now in the US.
If you are rich because you help other people, yes the rich people did something for others, solve some problem, create some benefit for society. Sometimes people portray the rich like villains and the people that have nothing, did nothing and help no one as "good people"
To me money = virtue you must have done something good for people to buy your product, solution, game, service. Yes Jeff Bezos did a lot for me and I gladly gave him some of my money. He deserved my money. Since he can help millions of people he is rich. If you can impact millions you became very rich. With the internet now that is possible.
With the Triumph of Government we must be ready for a perfect world that doesn't work. Instead of having an uncertain world where some people fail and some people are rewarded we are going slowly for a world where no one can fail , everybody is a winner of nothing.
No Risk No fun
"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive." Thomas Sowell
