Rand Paul Says People Who Work Harder Earn More – Al Sharpton is Baffled


For anybody capable of thinking on their own, what Rand Paul (R-KY) said makes plenty of sense. If you work hard, you get promoted. If you get promoted, you make more money. Can’t argue with that logic. So what about that process doesn’t make sense to Al Sharpton?

“In the liberal universe, there’s no correlation between hard work or ingenuity and financial success. As President Obama recently put it, the rich are simply “society’s lottery winners.”
Sounding a similar theme, Al Sharpton today declared it “astounding” that Rand Paul believes that income inequality is due to “some people working harder.”
….Note that Sharpton also recycled the canard that Jeb Bush said people needed to work longer hours whereas the context made clear he was calling for the availability of more full-time jobs….”

The government has been plenty accommodating to people looking for a free ride or a way to do as little work as possible. They hiked the minimum wage in certain places, encouraged corporations to pay their employees more, and started handing out welfare like their recipients are children with candy bags on Halloween. What do all of those initiatives have in common? The answer is simple, they failed. Sharpton is good as insulting conservative thinking, but he often fails to actually prove why any of it’s wrong.
