Wow, that's some hyperbole right there. And what is Hillary Clinton in this analogy? Oskar Schindler?

I think not. Let us promulgate Yousefzadeh's Law Regarding Economic Envy: The emotional appeal of class warfare arguments is inversely proportional to the accuracy of said arguments.
Repeat that to yourself every time you are confronted with a class warfare argument. And for that matter, repeat it every time to the confronter as well.

By Pejman Yousefzadeh
Matt Welch is dead-on accurate and we really need to stop stigmatizing wealth creation in this election cycle. It is bad enough when those on the other side of the partisan divide do it but it was my understanding that Republicans would actually respect legitimate wealth creation by entrepreneurs. Alas, that does not appear to be the case for whatever goofy reason.
And yes, Senator McCain, we are looking at you. You are in the driver's seat, after all, in seeking the Republican Presidential nomination. You are supposed to defend capitalism and wealth creation. We know that you enjoy taking potshots at Mitt Romney because you don't like him but when those potshots entail unjustified critiques of capitalism, those of us on whom you would rely to help carry you through the general election with a strong Republican turnout begin to wonder whether it is all really worth the effort to do so.
Stop making us wonder whether we'd be better off if we would lose this election. Would you please?
