StumbleLetter: Wealthy people have earned their wares
Tuesday, July 25, 2006 | 7:46 a.m.
In the Las Vegas Sun's July 23 article - "Who's Laughing Now?" - comedian Lewis Black is quoted as saying, "How do you people not get it? Why is it you're so hellbent on protecting rich people?" The answer is twofold:
1) The rich create jobs. The old saying is, "I never got a job from a poor man."
2) Why is it right to take away money from someone? I believe that is stealing. It is morally wrong and sends the message, "Don't work hard, the government will just take your money anyway."
