There are <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/31/united-states-losing-millionaires_n_1559803.html" rel="nofollow">fewer millionaires</a> in America now than there were 10 years ago.<br /><br />When wealth decreases, it decreases for all, and an increase works the same way. Sure, there will always be people who find a way to make money in a bad economy, but not as much as they can make in a good one.Kelnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12689947112472342344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184892788239700087.post-41394928960206824082012-09-29T04:05:16.514-04:002012-09-29T04:05:16.514-04:00Okay, so...success--TRUE Success--comes from build...Okay, so...success--TRUE Success--comes from building new wealth so that not only the "Wealthy", but also all of those around and "below" them are also more wealthy than they were before.<br /><br />So...why, then, am I poorer than I was before? Why is it that I, and most of the people I know (In America!) have LESS wealth, and are only able to buy LESS food and FEWER items than we did just 10 years ago?<br /><br />Are these Lefties in some way CORRECT about (at least SOME) of the Wealthiest people getting ahead only by stripping away the wealth that ought to be available to myself and the people I know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184892788239700087.post-24105683356279757772012-09-27T12:01:44.217-04:002012-09-27T12:01:44.217-04:00Brilliantly put, succinct and precise.

I did attack the coward angle as well as the whiner angle,, as you suggested, but I want to save the good bits for my opus maximus...why the left is at war with human nature. Which explains it all, really. So I watered this one down and just kept it focused on why they despise success specifically. <br /><br />But, your comments are truly in line with my thinking on the matter. So I suspect you probably already know the gist of what I'll say in my next post. I know I am not the first to figure out, in a limited way, what the left is all about.

Success requires risk taking, and those who a afraid to take those risks have to justify their resulting failure. Another part is the misunderstanding of the source of income. We earn when we bring value to the marketplace. People who don't believe in their own worth (and hence don't see the point in taking risk) are going to shy away from an open market. They start out believing they will fail, and again have to blame someone else. "The game is not fair, the rules are rigged", but they find themselves on the sideline because they don't understand the game.KDaunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17835855690795827425noreply@blogger.com
