To a conservative, if Person A and Person B each have $1000, that is fairness.----Fans of Best of the Web Today

Fans of Best of the Web Today--Michael Smith
"To a conservative, if Person A and Person B each have $1000, that is fairness.
To a progressive, if Person A has $1000 and does nothing with it (or spends it) and at the end of the year only has the $1000 (or less) and Person B takes a risk and invests the $1000 and at the end of a year has $1200, somehow Person B is being unfair to Person A and must be punished.
That is, of course, an oversimplification, but it is a pretty good description."
