COVETOUSNESS IS DEEP IN THE HEART OF EVERY LEFTIST

THOU SHALT NOT COVET.

IT'S A COMMANDMENT.

BUT ONE LEFTISTS IGNORE.

COVETOUSNESS IS AT THE VERY CORE OF THEIR BEING.

COVETOUS PEOPLE ARE ATTRACTED TO LEFTISM BECAUSE IT OFFERS THEM A WAY TO EXPRESS AND FULFILL THEIR COVETOUSNESS - AND DRESS IT UP AS ALTRUISM.

THIS IS VERY CLEAR WHEN ONE EXAMINES THE LEFT'S LATEST CLASS WARFARE JARGON ABOUT 'THE TOP 1%".

AS IF I AM POORER BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE GETS RICHER.

THIS IS FALSE.

• IF GOLDMAN SACHS EARNS A LOT OF MONEY AND DIVIDES IT UP BETWEEN THEIR PARTNERS, THESE BONUSES DO NOT MAKE ME POORER.

• THE FACT THAT MATT DAMON AND BEN AFFLECK AND JON STEWART EARN MILLIONS DOESN'T MALE ME POORER.

• THE FACT THAT DEREK JETER AND CHRIS LEE AND LEBRON JAMES EARN A LOT OF MONEY DOESN'T MAKE ME POORER.

• AND TAKING ANOTHER $100,000 FROM EACH OF THESE HIGH-EARNERS WON'T PUT A SINGLE PENNY INTO MY POCKET, EITHER.

• IN FACT, THE WEALTHIER THE WEALTHY GET THE BETTER OFF ARE ALL OF US.

THE LEFT WANTS PEOPLE TO BELIEVE THAT IF THE RICH GOT RICHER, THEY DID SO AT THE EXPENSE OF EVERYONE ELSE - AS IF PROSPERITY WAS A FINITE-SIZED PIE AND THE RICH SOMEHOW UNFAIRLY GOT A BIGGER SLICE.

THE IDEA THAT THE FIRST WORLD GOT WEALTHY FROM STEALING FROM THE THIRD WORLD IS JUST ANOTHER VERSION OF THIS LIE WRIT LARGE.

(LEFTIST MICHELLE OBAMA HAS USED THE SLICE METAPHOR HERSELF:

“They don’t want the whole pie,” she told the women. “There are some who do, but most Americans feel blessed just being able to thrive a little bit. But that is becoming even more out of reach.”…

“If we don’t wake up as a nation with a new kind of leadership…for how we want this country to work, then we won’t get universal health care,”

“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” Michelle Obama.)

BUT FOR PROSPERITY TO EXIST IT MUST ALWAYS BE A GROWING PIE, AND WE ALL DO BETTER AS THE PIE GROWS: THE RISING TIDE LIFTS ALL SHIPS.

WEALTH MUST CONTINUALLY RENEW ITSELF OR IT WITHERS - THAT'S WHY THE WEALTHY INVEST AND TAKE RISKS.

• WE CANNOT TAX HE RICH ENOUGH TO SOLVE OUR NATIONAL DEBT.

• IF WE EXPROPRIATED IT ALL IT WOULDN'T BE ENOUGH TO MAKE US DEBT FREE FOR LONG - BUT IT WOULD KILL THE ECONOMY --- FOR US ALL!

• AND ANOTHER THING: WHO DO YOU THINK LOST THE MOST MONEY IN THE RECENT RECESSION AND CRASH!?!?

• POOR PEOPLE?!?

• NO: THE RICH. THEY SUFFERED THE MOST.

LEFTISTS IGNORE ALL THIS AND STILL WANT TO TAKE.

THEIR URGE IS IN THE TAKING.

AND THEY GET AN ALTRUISTIC/EGOMANIACAL TINGLE WHEN THEY REDISTRIBUTE IT - CHOOSING THE WINNERS AND LOSERS.

THAT'S WHY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LEFTISTS CHOSE LEFTISM AND LOVE LEFTISM.

NOT BECAUSE IT HELPS HUMANITY, BUT BECAUSE IT SATISFIES THEIR PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS; TO COVET, AND TO FEEL GRAND ABOUT IT.

THEY CAN BE CHANGED.

I WAS A LEFTIST ONCE.

BUT I SAW THE LIGHT.

I SAW THAT COOLIDGE AND REAGAN AND THATCHER AND HAYEK WERE RIGHT. THEIR POLICIES ACTUALLY WORKED AND HELPED POOR PEOPLE THE MOST.

AND MARX AND FIDEL AND CARTER AND OBAMA ARE WRONG WRONG WRONG. AS WERE LENIN AND MAO AND KIM AND MUGABE.

THAT'S WHAT GIVES ME HOPE.

AND I BELIEVE THAT 2011 IS GONG TO BE A GREAT YEAR, BECAUSE IN 2011 WE ARE GONG TO ROLL BACK THE LEFT EVEN MORE!

OTHERS ON THE COVETOUSNESS OF THE LEFT:

• PROTEIN WISDOM.

• JON RAY.
