“… it’s what they do,” to quote Jeff.
Indefensible wealth. Think of all the envy, coveting, self-hate, and downright misanthropy wrapped up in that one little phrase.
Really, the core “value” of the Left.

Most of the federal government violates both the Tenth Amendment and the Tenth Commandment.
Coincidence? I think not.
Nah, he ain’t the enemy.
greasy codger Warren Buffett and his whore secretary ain’t in the business of paying taxes that’s for sure
“Rarely in history has so much been spent by the vinegar and water crowd seeking intellectual and moral justification for their lack of indefensible wealth” is more like it.
But hey, when you start confiscating personal fortunes be sure to start with G. Soros, A. Gore, J. Kerry, J. Edwards, and everyone in Beverly Hills.
FTFY, you diminutive grasping troll. Crawl back under your statist bridge.
[…] “It’s who they are …” [Darleen Click] | protein wisdom […]
Dennis Prager says that people like Sean Penn love dictators such as Chávez and Castro because Leftists value equality.
Bullsplat, Dennis. I’m stunned that you—student of the USSR—don’t see it.
They value POWER.
DOMINION.
COERCION.
They can’t get that power without destroying those who would oppose them, i.e., the very wealthy who are not on their side. (Wot? No condemnation of George Soros? Wot?)
The jive about “equality” serves as a justification to destroy their enemies without the rabble complaining about it—shewt, they might even cheer it on or join in.
Cripes, Dennis. They adore the POWERFUL. Those who Get Things Done without the bothersome consent of the governed. Those who can blow through their enemies by taking away their stuff.
Equality.
My eye.
And just how much is “indefensible wealth”?
1 Mill? 2 Mill? Or just more than Robert Reich has?
I think we might have to go redistribute some of Reich’s wealth.
Any amount not held by a True Believer™, Scott.
I’m very curious about what, according to Mr. Reich, makes wealth “indefensible:” some amount threshhold, or how it was earned?
If the second, then he might actually be on to something.
I doubt it, though.
Dr. House used to say, “Everybody lies.”
The left takes that as one basic axiom and adds, “Everybody steals.” It gives justification to the “Philosophy” of theft that they preach and live.
“Indefensible wealth” is any amount of property owned by someone who feels he shouldn’t have to defend his right to own it, but damn sure will if he has to.
OT…guess who is new on the Twitter?
Timb116 @timb116
Heh. I think Twitterers here would love to see this guy blocked & reported for spam. Not saying that’s what you should do, of course.
Convert some of that wealth into ammunition, and it won’t be indefensible any longer.
Beat me to it, McGehee.
Any amount not held by a True Believer™, Scott.
Given that Soros is a True Believer™, we’re ALL in the clear.
Going through the looking glass.
This is who they are also. Liars, thieves, and murderers, serial in all of it.
Cicero’s “On Duties”, 44 BC.
Who they are, one more time.
Dude knows even less about history than he does economics.
I wouldn’t have thought that possible.
Apparently there is no “Absolute Zero” of intelligence; it just goes to negative numbers.
Ha! Just as I was about to write questioning Eric Holder’s wisdom in suing S & P (for falling into a trap lawyers are warned not to take, i.e. asking a question which Holder himself does not know the answer to), M. Levin leads with the question whether anyone else finds it ironic Holder would take this course.
Be that as it may, it just seems to me that S & P may choose to vigorously defend itself, rather than, say, give in to a plea-bargaining fine, and in so defending itself, reveal to the world the depth of the causation in which the economy meddling Democrats have ownership for shaping the distortion-driven-disaster in which we find ourselves. But then, Holder has never been known for his wisdom.
No word is reported at the comfort Japan takes in Secretary of State John Kerry’s phone calls, let alone at the sight of his keen intellect and attention to his own nation’s interests, nor what nor how Japan thinks of Israel’s experiences at having the Great ObaZma “at their backs”.
Yeah, well, that latter might be doubtful, given the size of the knife in the Great ObaZma’s hand.
That sounds about right.
The thieving fucks set an example and give their wealth to DC, then I’ll take’em seriously. Until then, I’m sticking to contempt.
DOJ suing S&P? Well, discovery should be interesting.
