In last night's presidential debate, Al Gore praised himself for being a public servant, rather than someone who earns "private wealth." He uttered the words "private wealth" as if he were speaking of something repulsive. This brief moment in time reveals precisely what's wrong with the Democratic Party -- and much of the Republican Party too, for that matter. Al Gore, like so many politicians on the left as well as the right, has no grasp that money and wealth -- to be distributed or spent -- must first be created. The people whom Gore disdainfully dismisses as "earners of private wealth" are the very people upon whom Al Gore depends to fund his free drug program and everything else he's promising. Gore arrogantly assumes that people will be more likely to vote for him, precisely because he never has been in the private sector. If so, then people are pretty stupid. Because to admire someone for their failure to cope in the real world -- where they face going out of business; where they face having to create wealth instead of merely spending wealth forcibly taken from others -- is to admire failure.
