Tom’s Big Picture

“[the so-called sentiment of equality] is not, in fact, a sentiment of equality and is not related to any abstraction, as a few naive ‘intellectuals’ still believe; but it is related to the direct interests of individuals who are bent on escaping certain inequalities not in their favor, and setting up new inequalities that will be in their favor, this latter being their chief concern.”

-Vilfredo Pareto, Italian economist

Conflict over scarce resources among groups of people is the reality for fallen man, and all talk of equality, of somehow avoiding God’s judgment by creating the Tower of Babel here on Earth, are nothing more than shams designed to separate our children from their inheritance.
