President Obama likes to use “fairness” in guiding his redistributive policies. A new book by the WSJ’s senior economist Stephen Moore explains why this is no way to govern and examines the truth about taxes, opportunity and wealth in America.
This video takes a look at what such “fair” economic results would mean for our economic system. Not surprisingly, the conclusion here is that nations with free markets that allow ALL people to get ahead are the fairest of them all.

Such as relative term. Is it fair that someone that wants to party in school and flunk out gets the same opportunity as someone that works hard and gets good grades? Is life fair? Is God fair in the eyes of man? The answer to all is NO! We are all dealt a “hand of cards”, sometimes that hand isn’t very good and you must fold. Other times that hand is pretty good and you don’t play it well. And other times it is great. To me compasionate is helping those that don’t get a good hand and showing the others with an average hand how to play. AND we must remember that “Thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods.” I agree with equal protection under the law and equal opportunity within reason, but equal outcome is a pipe dream.
