Leftists Are All Brass, No Class, And No Answers!

By Rich Kozlovich

Recently an article posted by Eugene Kim, entitled, “Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos's new $2 billion philanthropic fund faces many unanswered questions”, saying:

“Jeff Bezos Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos finally shared more details of his philanthropic efforts on Thursday, announcing a new $2 billion fund, called "Day One Fund," to help homeless families and create preschools. The announcement came more than a year after Bezos asked his Twitter followers for ideas on how to give away his fortune, and on the heels of growing public criticism on his lack of philanthropic activities. But philanthropic experts say the announcement — while a good start — still has many unanswered questions that need to be addressed as the world's richest person accelerates his plan to give back”……

One of the questions was, “Why only $2 billion?" Imagine that? People who did nothing to generate that capital are now criticizing Bezos for his “measly” two billion dollar charity. I gotta tell ya – that’s nerve! But that’s the left for you! All brass and no class.

First of all, why should the wealthy have to give their money away anyway? All this Corporate Social Responsibility horsepuckh is a scam to keep leftists in business. And leftism has now become "big business", getting real businesses to give away real capital created by real businessmen, in order to undermine capitalism. Can there be any doubt leftism is a form of insanity.

(Side bar - For my friend John: Leftism is the term that encompasses communism, fascism, progressivism and liberalism, which are all forms of socialism going back to the foundation of socialism, the French Revolution.  As for groups like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and the Occupy Wall Street loons, they're the American left's modern version of the Nazi "Brown Shirt" thugs.  Different names, same purpose!  But the underlying social philosophy is socialism. If calling them communists pleases you, I'm fine with that.)

I recommend reading Ron Arnold's book, Freezing in the Dark: Money, Power, Politics and The Vast Left Wing Conspiracy, to see just how much capital these leeches suck out of the system, who that money is coming from, how much is hidden, and how it's hidden. It's frightening!

It amazes me at the questions asked in this article, which sound a lot more like demands to me. As for the idea he “has” to give back, and he “has” to be more philanthropic, or has to explain how and what he's going to do with that $2 billion dollars is a load of horsepucky. He doesn’t have to do any of this stuff and he doesn’t have to answer to these mooches or explain anything to anyone, except possibly the IRS, but if he’s following the law, that’s not an issue either. 

Why is this so hard to get? It's "his" money!  And he can do what he pleases with it.   

When a person is amazingly wealthy they’re giving back just by the fact of their wealth, because that wealth was created by creating jobs. When not in use, that wealth has to be banked and that’s the foundation for investment into other businesses and homes, by lending institutions.  They give back with the very existence of that wealth, not to mention the huge amount of taxes they pay.

And where did this term “give back” originate anyway. What did the public give to them? They bought their stuff? Well, that’s called commerce. I sell, you buy. If I offer a product I owe you a quality product and you owe me payment for that product, and if both sides of that business deal are satisfactorily met, neither one of us owes the other anything else.

If Bezos really wants to "give back" he needs to invest that money in other businesses - then those who are willing to work and build will reap the rewards of those efforts, and won't need charity. Then those rewards will be shared with their neighbors by buying homes, groceries, going on vacations, going out to dinner, going to the theatre, buying furniture, carpeting, hiring plumbers, lawn care people, etc., who will reap the same kind of rewards based on hard work, and then they will also "give back" in the same way.  It's called capitalism!  

But he won't.  He'll keep pushing his left wing agenda, giving his money to the leftist loons that swirl around him and their loony causes, all working unendingly to undermine the very system that made him wealthy.  A system that has brought more people out of misery, suffering and despair than any system the world has ever known.  Capitalism!  Capitalism isn't perfect, but perfection isn't attainable!  Why is that so hard to understand?  That means we need to accept the most acceptable imperfection, and that's capitalism.  It's the most acceptable imperfection because it has allowed, and will continue to allow, for the unprecedented creation of capital by ordinary people.  And that allows for freedom!

Hey Bezos, have you read about Venezuela?
