How to Prevent the Next Great Depression

When you spread the wealth, you get … the last of what’s left, equally shared. When you leave alone those who create wealth, through the use of their creativity and innovation, you get … more weatlh for everyone.

Do the math. A society which worships the average gets mediocrity, at first — and then much worse, later. A society which worships the best and the brightest gets the best of everything.

Take your choice: Not equal, but everyone richer, and getting richer all the time. Or: Equal, but declining in wealth all the time.
