From the moral point of view, forcibly seizing wealth from producers violates their rights. The relevant moral distinction is not between the 99 percent and the wealthiest one percent, but rather between the producers and the looters on any scale. The great producers of our society do not deserve envious snarls and threats to forcibly seize their property. Instead, they deserve our gratitude and admiration.

Yep, John, just keep cutting the pay of those public employeees and laying them off, and then watch them stop buying all those products from private sector businesses because they can’t afford to consume, and we’ll see how that affects the economy.

Her logic appears very similar that to local education thug leader Scott Ellingson who used the same reasoning in his argument for increasing teacher pay. Caroline, where do you think the money comes from that ends up in the paychecks of government non-worker, workers. If you say anything other than taxing the producers, then you are truly dense. Since the money already existed before it was ripped from mine and every other producer’s wallet, then the economic activity that you claim would disappear with government non-worker, worker layoffs still remains. The only difference is that I get to spend the entirety of my labor and profits instead of being forced to give it to another.

Would economic activity suffer if we eliminated welfare? Of course not. The welfare queen and the government non-worker, worker both derive their money from the pockets of producers. At least the welfare queen is honest enough to admit they do not produce anything.

I guess according to Caroline’s logic a bank robber is essential to economic activity because otherwise the money in the vault would not be spent.

Here is their About page.

Smart Girl Politics is non-profit organization for conservative women activists. SGP consists of two entities:

1. Smart Girl Politcs, a 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to educating and training activists and candidates.

2. Smart Girl Politics Action, a 501(c)(4) non-profit dedicated to engaging conservative women to take on issues important to them.

and their Mission

While our strategies to achieve our mission and goals are continually adapting, our basic mission has remained. We will reach out to conservative women and encourage them to get involved. We will provide the training and resources to stay involved, and will empower them to take the next step and run for office.

Engage: We will provide the opportunity and environment to facilitate the exchanging of ideas on a local, state, and national level.

Educate: We will educate women to understand basic political party structures and how they can get involved in their community to make a difference. We will educate women on how to register voters and identify voter fraud in their local precincts. We will assist those women who chose to move to leadership roles in their communities and provide them with the tools necessary to apply, run, and win an elected position.

Empower: We will build a community of activities who empower one another to stand up for their conservative beliefs. We will defend the right of conservative women to share their voice, their opinions, and their right to serve their country in any capacity they so chose. We will give conservative women a voice in the party system which allows their beliefs and principles to be heard.

While our mission is simple, we continue to identify more ways to achieve each aspect and move conservative women activists into the forefront of the fight!

Whether they are right on all issues I don’t know. But I do admire ACTION takers. Check them out by clicking the logo above.

“If recycling is worth doing, it should be paying for itself without a state government subsidy, or, if not, let local communities decide if they want to cough up the money to do it anyway. It’s time for decentralization, efficiency, realism… not fluffy-headed idealism. Saving money is the morality we need, not posing as good people by doing something if it actually makes no sense. I’m for pragmatism, not narcissism.”

Well put Ann. However, rational self-interest is the real morality we need; “saving money” may be a virtue, but it is not a morality.

Better stated: I’m for rational self-interest premised upon individual rights, not narcissism.

Must read rant by Ann!

1. “Tableau of Disrespect” So intimates Ann Althouse on her blog.....

Let me bring us back to the fundamentals of human existence in a rational way. The right to life only applies to the living, born human being.

Ayn Rand, the genius novelist and philosopher of Objectivism cogently writes:

‘Rights do not pertain to a potential, only to an actual being. A child cannot acquire any rights until it is born. The living take precedence over the non-yet-living… Never mind the vicious nonsense of claiming that an embryo has “right to life. A piece of protoplasm has no rights–and no life in the human sense of the term… To equate a potential with an actual, is vicious; to advocate sacrifice of the latter to the former, is unspeakable…’
