Good perspective Bucco. Today, I was trying to explain your post to my husband and told him about some of the comments here about the post. We put it in our own perspective by putting Obama's comment to the Kentucky Derby.

We were scarastically complaining about how much the winner of the Kentucky Derby makes. We sorta role-played-argued like Progressives about how unfair it is for someone to make that much money by simply owning a horse. One race!! Do you know how much they pay that winning jockey for winning one race!! Then the money that horse can make for breeding! The Progressive rationalized pretend discussion went from the sickening wealth of the show-offs at the Derby to the how the people who make the odds are as bad as the dirty bad boys at Wall Street.
And then someone is making money by people placing beats on the Derby horses!!

See how ridiculous it gets? You can make the same pretend argument for Hollywood and any number of professions. It takes the focus off the real issue. Not how much money someone makes; but how much control someone can get of the entire free enterprise system and people's freedoms, prosperity and liberties.

When did prosperity become bad?
