Not so new

Reader comment on: Waxman on Jews and Wealth

This is nothing new, unfortunately.

It would be grand if suddenly Democrats began to understand that their policies degrade the wealth and wealth-creating abilities of the country as a whole. But Mr. Waxman is just articulating the old canard that if you're a Republican you're out to protect YOUR OWN wealth from humane public policy attempts to share wealth etc. Just one more statement based on their fundamental misconception about the nature and origins of wealth -- they think it's a zero-sum game. If I earn it, it must have come from someone else. Just ain't so. Wealth is actually created every time someone chooses to do something productive (e.g. invent something, move the garbage can instead of watching TV).
