Equal Things

Q: I saw someone driving around in a brand new Ferrari the other day. It doesn't seem fair that they should have such nice things, while so many in the world are starving. What do you think?

A: It absolutely isn't fair. We have to keep in mind that his success must be because of some kind of chicanery. Other people work harder, but have less. He's probably one of these big oil types. People like this obviously don't care about the poor or the needy. One of the things the constitution guarantees us is not only equal rights, but also equal things. A tax increase would help even things out, so one person doesn't have more than an another. All we want is some fairness in the world. Is that too much to ask?

Along these same lines, the constitution also guarantees rights to health care, federally run public education etc. I've even heard it proposed that things like the Internet should be provided by the government. The government is expected to provide things like roads. I consider the Internet to fall under this same category. Given that some cannot afford it, those that have more money than they need should fit the bill. Someone needs to take care of the little guy. Who better to do this, than the democrats.
