Libertarian journalist John Stossel has written a brand new column and created a video to go along with it, which blasts authorities ‘takers’ like Elizabeth Warren and supporting revolutionary ‘makers’ like Elon Musk.
Stossel accurately factors out that folks like Elizabeth Warren don’t produce something. All they do is goal the productive and take their wealth to redistribute it as they see match.
If we had an efficient schooling system, each American baby would perceive this idea by the third grade.
Right here’s an excerpt from Stossel’s column, through the Daily Signal:
Are You a Maker or a Taker?
Politicians are sometimes takers.
They take our cash (and freedom) within the title of reaching objectives they hardly ever obtain.
Elon Musk and Sen. Elizabeth Warren could also be the very best examples of maker and taker. They’re the celebs of my video this week.
Warren shouts, “Tax the rich!”
She particularly needs to tax Musk, the richest man on this planet.
In her eagerness to seize his cash, she spun a scandal within the media, claiming Musk paid no taxes. She went on TV repeatedly to inform those who in 2018, “He paid zero!”
It was true. In 2018, Musk paid no federal revenue tax. However that was solely as a result of his pay was completely within the type of “stock options,” and that 12 months, they gave him no revenue.
However on the very second Warren launched her “zero tax” screed, Musk was paying the U.S. authorities $12 billion—extra tax than anybody has ever paid in historical past.
Warren didn’t point out that.
I want Musk paid a lot much less tax. It will be higher for the world if he spent the $12 billion himself—quite than giving it to Warren and her cronies.
Stossel’s video about that is glorious. Watch beneath:
.@elonmusk does issues that our authorities FAILED at.
He invented the world’s greatest rockets, slashed the price of house flight, and launched satellites that join even the poorest, most distant elements of the world.
Our world wants extra MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like: pic.twitter.com/jjFCbzEe9G

Stossel completely nailed this. Individuals like Musk make our lives higher. Individuals like Warren contribute nothing however need to profit from the innovation offered by others.
