Hannity interviews G20 protestors: liberal derangement syndrome on display

Well, they convinced me. Let's march or something.

As you watch the video of the violence in Pittsburgh this week, let's remember those tears of Nancy Pelosi and her terribly, unwavering fear of conservatives at Town Halls and their violence. The busted windows, the injuries, the attacks against police, the vandalism, the chaos in Pittsburgh, oh the tears she must be crying. Hook her up to an IV. Can't have our Speaker dehydrated.



No one needs to make more than $500,000 a year? So death to prosperity. Death to research. Death to ingenuity. Death to corporate growth. Death to invention. Death to medical breakthroughs. Death to higher standards of living. Death to technological advances. Death to dreams.

Who do they think are gambling and fronting the money for the inventions - from medical discoveries to consumer products - making life better?
The rich.
Who do they think are hiring employees, providing jobs and opportunities so families can have a better future?
The rich.
Who do they think are paying for their education, their roads and bridges, their government programs through a higher tax bracket?
The rich.
Who do they think are creating wealth in the world so they have opportunities for job placement once they graduate college?
The rich.
Who do they think are donating money and food and possibilities to the non-profit organizations reaching the most desperately poor?
The rich.

Not only the sublimely rich, but also those with greater prosperity who voluntarily donate their money to the charities of their choice.

These girls don't want poor people to succeed, they want rich people to fail. They want government-sanctioned theft. And believe me, the government wants to sanction it.

Here's the reality, a trifle little thing elusive to these girls. Financial equality is impossible. It can not nor never will be. You cannot dole out $44,000 to each individual and expect utopia. Some will take that money and gamble it away. Some will spend it all on Twinkies. Some will invest it and make more. The level playing field cannot be in dollar amounts but in opportunities.
That is what makes capitalism work. It's open to everyone. If you have an idea, you have the freedom to use your talent and ingenuity and hard work and make that idea a reality. And if it has value in the open market, you deserve to reap the rewards of that idea.
That's equality.

In a socialistic state, someone will always control the purse strings. It can either be left up to a free market, to the people, where opportunities are available to all who work and seek them out. Or it can be controlled by a monopoly, otherwise known as the government.

But make no mistake, someone's going to get rich.

I caught the last half of this last night. I don't understand how they can say that capitalism isn't successful when they have on fashionable clothes, go to college, etc. They're condemning what makes it possible for them to do what they do.
