EP118: Politics of Envy; Socialism is a Sin - Gracearchy with Jim Babka
Socialism is a theory of blame that excuses envy. Popular podcasting socialists (including Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski, and Sam Seder) recently gave writer Scott Galloway jubilant viral buzz. Galloway had appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and the podcasters presented the same 1-minute,20-second clip. Their commentary would be more accurately described as moral preaching. While Galloway was calling for much higher taxes on the wealthy, he was also ignoring historical facts and critical economic realities. But WHAT'S NEW HERE is that Prof. Galloway presented a sophisticated justification for the theft they all advocate. Jim Babka demonstrates how their arguments are both superstitious and a violation of Human Respect.

- Inevitably, someone will critique my application of Say's Law. The purpose of an already lengthy episode was not a deep dive. Here, we dealt with one profound implication of it. That said, I'm always learning and if someone can help me improve, that's a blessing.
