Salvete.
I was going to blog about the waning mystery behind the missing Malaysian aircraft, but minutes ago I watched part of the liberal documentary Inequality for All with my conservative grandfather, and we were both equally disgusted. I went on the website to find Robert Reich's name, and the website itself made me feel unclean. Anyway, I'm going to do some of the dirty work and exert my opinion against that of the former Secretary of Labor.
The whole argument that Inequality for All makes is that government spending for the people is good; the bigger the corporation is, the worse; and the common man is under the boot heel of Big Business. I personally believe this is easily refutable, but, seeing as I've only seen a tidbit of the full movie, I will try to make this short and vague, and perhaps I'll continue this tomorrow or the day after.
Big Business is not the problem, like I've said several times before. Big Government is, but that's another story. My opponents have emphasized that there is never a way out for the middle and lower classes, and that they cannot afford the opportunity to leave their jobs or make a decent living. This is bogus on several levels. For one, people and society need to learn the meaning of frugality. It is sad to see that our society considers luxuries as necessities, such as cell phones, restaurants, and so many more extraneous things. For another, it is a bald-faced lie that there is no way to escape business. If people had any marketable talent, they could start their own business. It wouldn't be as easy, and the pay wouldn't be as good, but it is a safe way out of undesired employment. Especially in this day and age, a single man with code-writing skills could develop a software company worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at least. There is no cage in employment but the one that the liberals want you to imagine.
