Economic Justice?

Money

The occupy Wall Street protestors are advocating the complete destruction of our financial system and economy. They don’t have their heads on straight. Read this very carefully and let me know if you agree:

  1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity­, by legislatin­g the wealth out of prosperity­.
  2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
  3. The government cannot give to anybody, anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
  4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
  5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work, because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

It’s that simple, but somehow university professors like Cornel West can’t figure that out.
