What the Rich Always Say

[Rilgin]

6. Thank You.

I actually have been waiting years to hear a politician focus on the term "shared prosperity" as opposed to "equal opportunity". I was kind of shocked and somewhat hopeful when I heard it in HRC's speech given my general feelings about her.

However, my hopes kind of turned back to reality when I heard her use the standard meme on ladders and wanting everyone to succeed. It is only when you do not question the basic tenets of success and distribution that "mobility" becomes an issue and "shared prosperity" turns away from an attack on our division of wealth into a luke warm defense of the status quo with the only solutions needed being some tinkering around the edges and fixing mobility.

Anyhow, that is what motivated my post. I thank you for your kind word about my essay.
